Jonah has been on a gluten-free diet for many months now and I have found several recipes that he enjoys very much. Two are grains and two are main dishes.
GFCF Bread – this is yeast free and I slice it for sandwiches.
2 c. gluten-free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
1 T xanthan gum
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
2 T oil (really yummy with coconut oil)
2 beaten eggs
1 1/3 c. water
1 T honey (or I sometimes use stevia instead)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan and coat it with a little bit of GF flour. Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl. Mix the wet ingredients together in another bowl. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together. Pour this mixure into the loaf pan and bake for an hour.
