Naan Bread!

Hi All:

I must share this triumph.

I made successful gluten-free naan bread today. I left it under the broiler for a minute too long and it got too

dark on top but it's not burned through. It's not as flexible and wheat naan bread but it's an amazing version of it. I took the recipe from Carol Fenster's 1,000 gluten-free Recipes and it worked.

I couldn't believe it, I did scream out of joy!!

I took a picture of it I was so damn proud!!

Open Original Shared Link

I had it with the lamb pasanda I made today and the basmati rice.

I am going to have my own mint sauce now, too.

The mint sauce I used to get, Burgess mint sauce, is no longer being carried in stores near me.

I ended up ordering 6 jars from a British food importer today. They only had two jars in stock and offered to sub 4 of Duerr's for me.

But Duerr's and Colmans both have malt vinegar in them and I can't do that. He was kind enough to look at the jar of Burgess after I explained why

I could not have those and we discovered that Burgess has changed their recipe and they are now putting malt vinegar in theirs. He was very kind

and I was the third caller this morning asking about gluten free products so he made a web page for their gluten-free items. He was a lovely man and very helpful.

I now have a jar of Allison's mint sauce and the fridge. It's not hard to make. It's boiled vinegar (just not the malt kind, I used white vinegar), salt and sugar poured over ground up mint leaves and stems, why waste, they are minty too, eh?

If anyone would like me to type out the recipe for the Fenster's naan bread and the mint sauce let me know, I am happy to share.

My main cooking is Indian because I love it, it's pretty much safe, and it makes me feel strong and happy, and naan bread was the bread that I missed the most. I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy that I can eat northern Indian recipes they way they should be eaten now, with gluten-free naan bread.

It's been such a nice day!!

Hi Sarah:

Here you go:

Ingredients:

1 packet or 2 and 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

1/2 cup warm (110 F.) milk (I used almond milk cause I try and stay away from milk)

1/2 cup white rice flour

1/2 cup potato starch

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)

1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp guar gum

1/4 plain yoghurt (I use Fage 2% greek yoghurt)

1/4 cup (half stick) unsalted butter softened, or butter spread at room temperature

Garlic (optional to taste)

White rice flour in a salt shaker

Cooking spray

Ghee (optional)

Spray bottle with water

Preparation:

NOTE: DO NOT preheat oven.

1-Warm up the milk to 110 F.

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the milk

Set aside to foam for about 5 minutes

She requests that you do not use a non-stick baking sheet (10 x 15).

I have a non-stick one, so I put a sheet of parchment paper on the cookie sheet and liberally slathered ghee on the parchment paper.

2-In a food processor combine the white rice flour, potato starch, salt, onion powder, garlic, xanthan gum, guar gum, yoghurt and butter.

When well mixed, transfer the milk/sugar/yeast mixture to the food processor and pulse until well mixed.

The dough will be soft not like cake batter.

Use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon to spoon out 4 (I like them at the size they turn out to be at 4 pieces, she suggests six)

evenly placed balls of dough on the ghee'd parcement paper.

3-Generously sprinkle each dough ball with white rice flour from the salt shaker.

Using your fingers, flatten the dough out to a teardrop shape.

Brush each naan with ghee or spreay with cooking spray.

You can put more crushed garlic on top like I did, if you like.

Place the cookie sheet on the lowest rack in a COLD OVEN.

Set oven to 400 F.

Bake 5-7 minutes, continuing to spray the naan every two minutes with some water.

4- Lift up the naan with a flat instrument and see if they are cooked on the bottom.

Then you will need to cook them from the top using the broiler.

Broil approx. 5 minutes or less or until golden brown spots appear on each of the naan.

Remove from the broiler and cool for one minute on a rack.

Serve immediately.

You can wrap these up in a plastic bag and they will reheat on a baking sheet in an oven for 2-3 minutes on 350 F.

It's a detailed recipe and it's not something that you can leave and cook. You kind of need to be there to babysit the naan.

Your devoted attention will produce a piece of naan that is really lovely to eat and is a very good replacement for wheat-based naan bread.

If any of you choose to make this, let me know how it came out. I will probably make some more next weekend.

The next batch will hopefully turn out better.

That looks and sounds just amazing. I've been tip-toeing towards Indian food for a while now (the husband LOVES Indian) and this may just be what knocks me off the fence.

Who am I kidding, I'm sold. Soon as I can get rid of my pesky houseguests (they of the "You aren't still doing that weird gluten free crap, right?" and "but, what are you feeding US... cause WE'RE not eating weird stuff." fame. Sigh.) I'm mixing up a batch of this.

Hmmm... I think I even have the stuff for some chicken Rogan Josh.

Wow! Those look good! I have all those ingredients on hand right now... I just may try it tomorrow. :)

I wonder if it could be par-baked and then frozen... hmm...

Indian is actually easy to do at home.

IMHO, it's the best cuisine in the world and the world is never a better place than after an Indian meal.

You need a few things on hand for cooking it, however.

You need a big heavy sauce pan that can handle a lot of heat as you are often adding water and leaving it to cook down for about 45 mins.

You need a separate grinder for spices though some seeds are more easily and better crushed with a mortar and pestle.

You need onions and garlic and mild green chillis and ginger and cilantro and yoghurt, preferably the think Greek stuff, in your home at all times cause most every Indian recipe uses these things.

Then you need all the whole spices on hand in airtight jars ready to be ground and used fresh. Freshly ground spices are far more aromatic.

You don't need to have ghee on hand but it does work best for the bread.

Most Indian recipes start with vegetable oil, corn oil or olive oil. I prefer to use vegetable oil or olive oil - I don't like corn oil for some reason.

As for freezing the bread, why not try it, but I would try it when it was fully cooked, not partially cooked.

The dough does not come out like cake batter, so I would say possibly freeze the dough or freeze the finished bread maybe?

But I don't know if the yeast would get old and they wouldn't rise anymore either.

Try it, maybe and see if it works and then let me know if it works!!

I don't buy them in bulk. I usually get packages of them, either Bob's Red Mill or Arowhead Mills and keep them all in the freezer. I usually find everything at my local health food store but I can find them also at several grocery stores nearby. However my local health food store carries them all.

A&Z, I will start an Indian food thread for you. I hope we can share ideas and recipes there. It really is the best cuisine in the world.

I am so happy that you made it also.

I made another batch - and froze it.

I hope it will keep in the freezer for a bit.

      Testing

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!
