Isn't she a beauty? Not only is this bread good looking, it is delicious. One of my resolutions this year was to make more bread for my family. I figured that was an attainable goal as I made all of three loaves or so last year. I like making resolutions I can keep.
Making bread for the guys has pretty easy. I've been using The Tassajara Bread Book
with great success. But I've been wanting for a good gluten-free bread for me.
with great success. But I've been wanting for a good gluten-free bread for me. At the suggestion of a neighbor, I bought a cookbook by Jennifer Katzinger Flying Apron's Gluten-free & Vegan Baking Book
. Katzinger opened a Seattle bakery in 2002. Her goal was to provide healthy whole grain foods to customers. Although the Flying Apron did not start out as a completely gluten-free and vegan bakery, it evolved into that over the years.

I have not had the pleasure of visiting the Flying Apron Bakery, but thanks to this cookbook, the house bread and I are friends. The recipe was unfussy (one of my complaints of many gluten-free baked items). And the bread has a rich nutty flavor that isn't overpowering. The texture is moist and surprisingly light. I had to keep myself from eating half the loaf after it came out of the oven. Fortunately, I left a slice to dip into my warm bowl of soup. Such a treat.

I'm not sure if I knew you were gluten free. My daughter is also. A couple of other good GF cookbooks for baked goods and breads are:
Gluten Free Baking by Rebecca Reilly and Gluten Free Baking Classics by Annalise G Roberts. I'll have to look for the Flying Apron cookbook.
Oh, Grace, you are in for a treat with the Flying Apron cookbook. And thank you for your recommendations.
There's a new bread book out called Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, which contains some gluten free recipes. Their blog includes one such recipe for a Crusty Boule which looks quite tasty : http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/?p=1396#more-1396 . I haven't tried it myself, but I'm a big fan of their other book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The title is a bit misleading, but it doesn't involve any kneading, and makes a batch of dough which you can store in the fridge and pull four loaves from - very convenient!
