Recipe Introduction
Note from Jo: This recipe was developed by Bette Hagman for Twin Valley Mills, LLC. The original recipe called for Sorghum flour in place of Millet, but I found them to be interchangeable. For other GF recipes, check out Bette’s book THE GLUTEN-FREE GOURMET BAKES BREAD.
1 cup millet flour
2/3 cup tapioca flour
2/3 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/3 cup dry milk powder or nondairy substitute*
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast granules
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon dough enhancer or vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup lukewarm water (more or less)
Recipe
Grease an 8 1/2" by 4 1/2" loaf pan and dust with rice flour.
Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
In the mixing bowl of a heavy duty mixer, whisk the eggs, dough enhancer and oil. Add most of the water holding back about 3 tablespoons to add as needed.
Turn mixer to low and add the flour mix a little at a time.
The mix should be the consistency of cake batter. Add the remaining water a little at a time to achieve this texture.
Turn mixer to high and beat for 3 1/2 minutes.
Spoon into the prepared pan, cover and let rise in a warm place about 35 minutes for rapid rising yeast; 60 or so minutes for regular yeast or until dough reaches the top of the pan.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes in a 400° oven, covering after 10 minutes with aluminum foil.
Turn out immediately to cool. For a softer crust rub immediately with butter or margarine. Cool before slicing.
