Thank you!

You welcome!

Are you planning to make it, or you did it already? My lunch, just now was French toast from my bread that I baked on Friday. Yummy!

Poppi Enthusiast

I made the bread this evening. I made it as specified except I used salted butter and regular cow's milk.

My dough was way too sticky to braid so I formed it into a roundish loaf on a piece of parchment on my pizza peel. After it had risen I slashed the top, did the egg wash and popped it onto my preheated baking stone.

Slashing the top was a big mistake. The loaf wound up kind of exploding outward from the X I cut in the top. My friend and I were giggling about how ugly it was.

That was the only downside.

The smell was amazing. As someone who used to bake bread almost daily it was so nice to have that wonderful yeasty bread smell wafting through the house again. My 6 year old son came in from playing and gasped. "Is that bread I smell? YIPPEE" He ate 4 pieces with dinner.

The texture was that uniquely gluten free bread texture. I was hoping for lighter but that's a fantasy I think. It was like a scone.

The taste was amazing. The crust was perfect. All in all, it was without question the best bread I have had since going gluten free. We ate half of the loaf with dinner (family of 7 plus 1 guest over for dinner) and are looking forward to having the other half as french toast tomorrow. I am ridiculously excited, I haven't had french toast since March because I haven't found a bread that was suitable.

Thanks so much for the recipe.

*bump!*

ok, this is my new go-to dough :D thank you so much, simona! i made it last night and followed your directions (except i used unsalted butter instead of margarine and lactose-free milk instead of rice milk) it came out AWESOME (except it flopped over a little during the rising) it is soooo delicious :) i picked at it a little before i went to bed last night and today i am having some with black raspberry jam. i am so excited to have a dough that i can actually shape like gluten dough!! for halloween, we fix a spread for the kids when they are done trick-or-treating they get some hot beef vegetable (used to be barley in it but last year i used quinoa and when they are cooked really good, they sort of unraveled and they looked like worms - the kids just loved that!) soup and i used to make bread 'bones' but haven't found a workable recipe. i think i could make a whole skeleton from this dough - they would love that! next time i make this bread i am going to add a little sugar and make sweet italian bread. also cinnamon rolls. also something with apples and caramel......... i wonder if you added some whipped egg whites at the end of kneading if it would make bigger air bubbles in it?? hmmmmm...

thank you again, as i just couldn't get into baking with bread 'batter' ;)

ps - i also didn't trust rice flour very much, but this is not grainy at all. also, i have to freeze some of it b/c it is a Giant Loaf so i hope it freezes well. LOL if it lasts that long.... :)

I just want to make correction in the recipe: in salt. For this recipe you need more salt, if you want your cake to taste better. I'm using now 1 Tbsp. of salt.

For sweet version use 4 Tbsp. of sugar and 1 Tbsp. of salt.

Simona's braided Challah
(Gluten and casein free)

Ingredients:

3 cups white rice flour
2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 cup potato starch
1/2 cup arrowroot starch
3 Tbsp. Xanthan gum
1 teaspoon Baking soda (I used measuring spoons)
1 Tbsp. of sugar
1 Tbsp. of salt  (I elevated this just now from 1 teaspoon to 1 Tbsp.The challah will taste better.)

3 cups of warm vanilla rice milk
2 rapid yeast packets
3 Tbsp. of sugar, for sweeter version add 2 more Tbsp.

4 large eggs
1 egg white
1 stick of Fleishman margarine in room temperature, not melted

Egg wash:
1 egg yolk
2 Tbsp. or sugar
1 Tbsp. of rice milk

Direction:

1. Mix yeast, sugar and warm milk together and let it rise for about 15-20 minutes.

2. Put all dry ingredient in stand mixer. Add proofed yeast, eggs, and egg white. Mix for 3 minutes on low and 2- 3 minutes on high.

3. Place waxed paper on 10x15 baking sheet. Take a bigger cutting board and spread some oil (vegetable, canola) over. Divide dough on 6-8 pieces. Put some oil on yours hands, the same way like you do with lotion. Take one peace of dough, make ball and roll it into braid long about 6-7 inches. Repeat it three times. Take this braids and braid them together. Place them on baking pan.
If you work with 8 pieces, make second row of the Challah the same way as first. For the third row of Challah use only two pieces.

If you work with 6 pieces, then make second row with two braids and the first with one (like letter S).
When you work with braids, always have oily hands. Don't be afraid to use oil. Nothing will happen to dough.
This part is messy and little complicated, but it can be done.

4. Let it rise for 40-50 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350 F.
6. Mix 1 egg yolk, sugar and milk and spread this mixture with brush over Challah. Bake it for 50-60 minutes.

7. Mix 3 Tbsp. of sugar and 2 Tbsp. of water and spread it over Challah after you take it out.
Enjoy! This Challah tastes like the real think. It's very good and very soft for 3-4 days.

OR

I bough round porcelain dish for pies. It's 2 inch deep and have 9 inches in diameter. I used it the second time when I baked this Challah.
I divided dough 6 times. I braided three braids together and placed them in one half of the pie pan. I repeated this with other three braids.

I let it rise for 1 hour and baked on 350 F for 50 minutes. After I took it out, I spread the sugary water over the top of Challah. 2n9aptv.webp

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
