Awhile ago I made Gluten Free Simple Bread from Elana's Pantry. While it was the best gluten free bread I had made to date, it was still gluten free bread. I'm beginning to realize that gluten free bread is just not going to measure up to the real deal. I haven't given up yet though! The search for the holy grail of gluten free breads continues! I know it exists because I bought gluten free rolls from a bakery at the farmer's market. He would not give me the recipe, of course. It never hurts to ask!
Elana said this was her Simple Bread revisited and it was better than the first. It has a lot of arrowroot powder in it, which is not GAPS Diet approved, and arrowroot is pricey. I think I will stick to the first Gluten Free Simple Bread even though the second tastes better. If you don't mind the cost and are not watching your grain intake than I recommend this recipe.
I think my bread pan was too small because it rose way over the top and almost tipped over in the oven. I caught it because I was checking on it a lot and turned it sideways solving the problem. I made Griffin a grilled cheese sandwich with it last night for dinner. (He's dairy free too so I used almond cheese). He ate the whole thing and since he can't tell me how good it is, being that he is 17 months, I took this as an indicator that he liked it. That's good because I doubled the recipe and made two loaves, one for now and one for the freezer.
