I Ate A Sandwich!

I have to tell you - after this bread was a flop for me - I cut it in slices, let it dry for a day, and made bread crumbs -

Oh my gosh, my family loved the meatloaf and the meatballs I made with it - I have to say, the meatloaf was so much better than I ever remember it. I froze the rest of the crumbs in little snack bags for the next batch I make up.

I need to get more sorghum flour and I will be making the bread again soon.

Is this bread like a traditional sandwich bread, like wonder sponge? Texture? Flavor? Also, does it need to be toasted the next day?

Hmmm.. As far as texture, the best I can describe it as is similar to a loaf of wheat bread, but not quite. I thought that the flavor was better than wheat bread. It's definately not like a loaf of white Wonder Bread, but it does have the air pockets and texture that you would expect in a good loaf of bread.

This bread has a mild flavor that went very well with peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, french toast, even plain bread and butter! Best of all, it didn't crumble and held up to making a full ham and cheese sandwich. What excited me the most about this bread was that it is a full size loaf, not one of the itty bitty loaves that you buy at the store for about $5 a loaf.

I kept this bread on the counter in a sealed bag. After 2 days, I finished off the loaf by making a peanut butter sandwich with it. It was still fairly moist and didn't need to be toasted. I did notice that it was starting to go stale, but the bag had not sealed properly. Don't know if that had anything to do with the staleness.

Can anyone else add anything about texture and flavor?

I did it! I did it! I made a sandwich that actually tastes like a sandwich!!

I'm not talking about a sandwich made from those dry, cardboard flavored breads, either. I'm talking moist, springy bread with a thin, flaky crust type bread sandwich!

I made the bread and I tell you, peanut butter and apple jelly has never tasted so good. (Yes, this is my very own recipe that I adapted from a regular (glutenated) white bread recipe.)

Only problem I had with the bread is that it is so moist and springy it is difficult to cut while the bread is still hot. So, make sure to allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.

Sorghum Flour Bread

Well, finally I gave this recipe a try. I mixed my sourgum flour mixture. Easy. Then I put all my ingredients together and anxiously waited for it to rise. I waited and hour, nothing! Another half hour and still nothing. The bread was in a cool oven, no drafts. Then I feeling rather perplexed I looked in my drawer to find that I had forgotten the yeast!!!! WaHaaa! Now what. Well, I wasn't throwing that mix away. I am far to frugile for that. So I took the mixture out of the pan and spread it on a well oiled pizza pan. I baked the mixture for 20 min at 350. I took it out and added EVOO, carmelized onions, garlic and rosemary. I put it back in the oven for another 5 min. My DH asked if we could add some cheese to it and so we did. Italian cheese. So then I put it under the broiler. UMMMM!!!! What a fantasitic mistake! It was a little cheewey so the next time I might cook it a little longer. But I will be doing this again real soon! It was a cross between a foccasa and a pizza. We LOVED it! You would have never guessed it was gluten free. So needless to say, I don't know what type of bread it would have been but it was a great foccasa/white pizza. Thanks for the recipe.

Ohhh... I'm going to have to try that! I've been wanting pizza lately. Maybe this weekend when my sister comes to visit!

Do you think this would work in a bread machine?

I made this bread today and it was so yummy. I cant wait to make french toast with it tom for breakfast. I even splurged and put butter on it. It is the first good bread I have had since being diagnosed two years ago. Thank you for the recipe.

Forgot to mention that this is the bread I will be using for my Thanksgiving stuffing this year. I may cut it up and let it get stale overnight.

I used the sorghum bread for grilled cheese for lunch and then made french toast(whick I have been having a craving for)for dinner. This recipe is definately a keeper.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
