Hi,
I just got a copy of "The Complete Guide to Wheat-Free Cooking" by
Phyllis Potts. Nearly all the recipes are GF, and use a combination
of rice and chick pea flour. This seems more nutritious than Bette
Hagman's mix.
However, my first experiment went badly. I don't have a bread machine,
but she says her recipes can be made by hand, by adding more flour until
the dough can be kneaded. Didn't *sound* right...but I tried it anyway.
I had to add a ton of flour before it could be handled, and sure enough,
the bread turned out like a brick. (I used to make wheat bread by hand,
so I know there wasn't anything wrong with my kneading techniques. I've
also made many GF breads with no problems, but none involved kneading.)
Has anyone else tried this? Should I have let it rise longer? Or is
she just out to lunch with this idea (no pun intended :) )?
