MEEEE TOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Damn Italians and their Easter bread! (lol - that is how I got my hips and thighs - lol!)

PLEASE post the challah recipe on here if you can! I will slap some almond-flavored icing and colored coconut on it and see if it works!

They are copywrited recipies from a book that is still being sold in bookstores so I'm not comfortable posting them. Maybe there's some other way ? Also your local library might have them. I've found several gluten-free cookbooks at mine.

Thanks for your efforts. I have just found a recipe that I will try to convert to gluten-free Flour., using a bread machine. Will share if it works. Until then, anyone else got a thought? I did make a great cherry cobbler last nite, and Wedding Soup.

Trying again to post this easter bread recipe. What a treat for husband to have toasted easter bread with lots of butter this a.m. Am satified that this recipe works. To find it , go to recipezaar.co and type in88299 in search box. then make the changes I am adding here. The basic recipe is just the same as my mother -in-law's except hers made six loaves instead of one. The bread is the courser, denser rustic style, not the "americanized version " that is now popular. It smells, looks and taste like the real thing. The only problem I had was that I baked it too long. Will correct next time.

Changes to the recipe.

Add juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 orange

zest of 1/2 lemon

zest of whole orange

1 tab/ pure anise flavoring

remove gluten (no brainer)

add 2.5 tsp of xanthum gum

increase yeast to 2 tsp.

I mixed the flavoring and zest in the liquids

I also melted the butter. (can you add it not melted in a bread machine?)

Flour mix

1cup brown rice flour

1 cup of white rice flour

1/2 cup of sweet rice flour

1/4 cup of Pot starch

1/4 Corn starch

1/ 4 cuo Tapi flour

1/4 cup of sorghum Flour

feel free to tinker with this. I would appreciate your critique. Am always willing to learn from others.

Hope you enjoy this and Happy Holidays to all

Thanks to miisy's Mom for the tech support.

In Europe there is an Italian company called Schar that makes really good gluten-free products.

You can find a recipe from their site for an Italian Easter Cake:

Open Original Shared Link

I have not tried this recipe but I looked on the box of "Mix C" and the ingredients are:

Corn Starch, Corn Flour, thickerner, locust bean gum - I was suprised of the ingredients b/c the mix is very light and fluffy. I am not sure what the measurments are but I cant see why you could not substitute a Pamelas Mix or one of your favorites.

I use this mix alot for Crepes that turn out fantastic!!!

Good Luck

It's been a tradition in my family for years! I wish I could find a recipe or a bakery that makes it.

If you don't find a good recipe, you can try to make mine, if you want to braid the bread use this:

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/84873-simonas-braided-challah/page__st__75__gopid__785727#entry785727

Please read all tread! Specially my last post.

For the Italian bread cut the recipe in half, or make two at once, if you can (it will bake better).

I will make it today for Easter.

Or

This:

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/85650-gluten-free-sandwich-bread/ , if you prefer softer bread. You can't braid with this dough, but you can use round pan with the hall in middle (like for bundt cake). Add 1 1/2 Tbsp. of sugar.

Bake them for 60-65 minutes, otherwise they will sink.

ok, sorry this is late. i wanted to make this at easter but forgot to get the gelatin. (plus, i didn't want to be so committed in case it turned out not so good) so i made it this week, and iced it with a simple vanilla icing (powdered sugar, butter, milk/water, vanilla extract) and sprinkled it with colorful sprinkles. i can not stop eating it. it SMELLS like a bakery..... mmmmmm......

this recipe is a keeper and it's pretty easy :) (go ahead and make it, you will eat the whole thing!)

      Confused with test results

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels. I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff. Symptom is like bronchitis. I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac. the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold. I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees. The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped. Also...

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes. She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family. Do get her tested as sooon as you can.

      Hi @Nicbent35, When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration. With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing. In the meantime, though, continue on GFD. Her health is more important than convincing...

I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.

      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
