Bread Challenge

So I did a bread challenge tonight. Stephanie on my gfcf board posted her bread and it looked really weird so I just had to try it right? I saw her recipe and thought I could help the recipe. So I thought I would do both recipes, kinda flying by my pants as I went on my recipe. So the first bread is Stephanie's recipe, and this is what her recipe looked like when I took it out of the oven, I will tell ya it looks nothin like her photo.


2 cups White Rice Flour
1 cup Brown Rice Flour
1/4 cup dry milk powder (I had to use Tapioca Flour)
3 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp yeast

Wet
3 eggs
3 tbs oil
1 3/4 c water (warm)

Mix dry together and than add wet to it slowly. Blend Slowly on low for 1-2 mins. Bake at 375 degrees for 60 minutes. Oops let rise for 30 minutes, before baking.


And so this one is my bread, using the recipe above and changing around a few things. I have to say I think mine looks and smells so much better, but that could just be me?


Here is my recipe:
3 1/4 cups better batter mock flour mix
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp gelatin
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp yeast
Wet
3 eggs
3 tbs oil (olive)
1 3/4 cups water (warm)
Mix dry together and than add wet to it slowly. Blend slowly on low for 1-2 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 60 minutes. Oops let rise for 30 minutes.

So here are the breads side by side. Mine is on the left and Steph's is on the right, I noticed the coloring right away, mine was more brown. When I did the dough Steph's was like cake batter which is what gf bread should be like, but mine I felt if I added a bit more flour you can mold and use your hands. So I think I will take my recipe and try some rolls and such. Keep you all posted as we play with our recipe in motion. The recipe is still in the works.
I just had my boys try it, they really can't tell the difference with the bread. Of course I have three under 5 when hubby comes home I will have him try and update the blog.
Enjoy.
**Hubby update. Mine won and hubby said if I added garlic it would make a Great Garlic Bread. I see more time in the kitchen. I'll keep tweaking. Thanks Stephanie....

Hi Marcie,
The Milk powder in the recipe gives the bread texture, a good crumb and most importantly crust colour.
.
If you're avoiding dairy then use Better than Milk (soy or rice powder)
.
The bread to the right was to my mind better shaped (sorry).
.
I bake all my own recipes from scratch.
