Wheat-Free Potato Bread

This is easy to make and a good staple bread. This is the best so far!

Set the oven to 220°C (430°F).

Beat together ...

• 3 oz mashed potato or instant mash and the appropriate quantity of boiling water. (That's 3oz of mixed instant mash - NOT 3oz of dried mash!)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 pint milk (or dried milk and water)
• 1 fluid oz olive oil (or your favorite)
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional)

Then add in ...

• 6oz (175g) of wheat-free flour

Don't overbeat but scrape down the bowl to make sure everything is mixed.

Line the bottom of a rectangular 2 lb. loaf tin with baking parchment. Pour the mix in, sprinkle with sesame seeds, sunflour, poppy or whatever, and put it in the oven.

Cook for 35 to 40 minutes. It should be moist when tested with a skewer or knife but not raw! Tip out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool.

This makes one loaf. The bread doesn't keep too well but it doesn't matter in our house because it's all gone the day it's made!

Wheat Free and Gluten Free Pizza Crust

This crispy pizza crust tastes so delicious that your guests won't know it's wheat and gluten-free. You can hold a slice in your hand and it won't crumble! You may also shape the dough into four individual pizzas.

• 1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast
• 2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder*
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
• 2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough setting.)

Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the toppings.

Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.

Preparation = 45 minutes. Serves 6.
