Helpful Links for Food and Life

I'd like to share some blogs and resources I've found that have really helped me out in some way. Not all of these are specifically gluten-free resources, but they are all relevant to living the good life.

Green Baby Guide: This blog is not just relevant to parents of small children. It has been a great resource for me to learn things like how to make a raised-bed garden, how to keep your milk and cream from going bad, or how to use less soap and water when washing dishes. The two authors of the website are very dedicated environmentalists, money-savers, and moms. I know, because one of the authors is my sister!

I have been really inspired by the GF Road Warrior. He travels every week for work and eats in restaurants for a good percentage of his meals. He has celiac disease, but that doesn't stop him from dining out. Read this great blog for travel dining ideas and business etiquette tips for going it gluten-free.

[No Recipes]: Marc is a die-hard gourmand. Strike that, Marc is a fantastic gourmet cook. He is not on a gluten-free diet, but his recipes are often naturally gluten-free. He frequently concentrates on fish, meat, and umami flavors - my favorites. If you want to know a technique for cooking steak perfectly every time or if you want to learn how to make your own horchata, this is the blog for you.

Thanks for the link, Gina! Or "linky love" as they say here in the blogosphere.

That horchata looks very tasty.

Thank you for the link to the GF Road Warrior. Sometimes we spend a great deal of time as a family traveling with my husband. I love to read other GF folks tips on how to travel or eat well.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.

Gluten-free Sourdough Discard Bread

Image
You’ve made your gluten free sourdough starter . What now?   The discard, or unused portion of the starter can be repurposed in a number of ways.  It’s the part of the starter that you don’t need to refresh or to use to leaven bread. You can throw it out, or you can use it to replace some of the flour and water in other recipes.  It adds a great texture and flavor to recipes, and it’s particularly useful for gluten free recipes. There’s something about gf grains that benefits immensely from the fermentation process. They become more flexible, more workable, and much tastier. In this bread recipe the sourdough starter lends the bread strength, flexibility, and flavor. Want a sandwich loaf recipe? Check out my  Yeasted Sourdough Sandwich Bread . Why is it not a regular sourdough bread?  This bread is considered a discard bread, or sometimes called a hybrid loaf, because it contains sourdough but it's leavened with commercial yeast. What does it taste like?   ...

Quick Yeasted Sourdough Sandwich Loaf Recipe

Image
Readers have been asking if they can bake the Gluten-free Sourdough Discard Bread in a bread tin.  The answer seems to be yes, it usually works.  However, I've created this new recipe that is more of a sandwich style loaf.  This recipe is a single rise recipe, so it's quick and easy. Need to create a sourdough starter? This is the method I use most:  https://glutenfreegourmand.blogspot.com/2021/10/sourdough-starter-ready-to-use-in-3-7.html Why yeasted sourdough?  Sometimes it's tricky to get a great rise out of sourdough when you're first starting out.  Also, creating a new sourdough starter creates a bit of discard that can be used up in other recipes to improve the flavor and texture of the product. This recipe adds a little baker's yeast to help the rise and get the loaf in the oven more quickly.  This is a sourdough discard recipe but you can use active starter if that's what you have.  Yeasted Sourdough Sandwich Loaf Recipe Dairy-free, c ont...

Mild Country White Sourdough Bread

I gave up on producing a showy loaf a long time ago.  I always rolled my eyes a little when I saw photos online of perfect bloom or wide-open crumb.  "The mustard is going to just fall right through," I would think to my self disapprovingly, shaking my head a little. It turns out, I was just jealous. After a decade of gluten-free bread baking and recipe development, and through a collaboration with some other bakers, I've come up with a gf sourdough bread recipe that produces an open crumb, a large bloom, and sometimes, if I'm lucky, an ear.   The bread has a very mild, pleasant sourdough flavor and is very light in color. The crumb is very open but not too delicate.  It has a chewiness to the texture that I associate with a good sourdough bread.  The crust gets a nice browning and it toasts up nicely. And I don't mind the mustard falling through as much as I thought I would. Many thanks to Michael Hollesen who came up with the original version of this reci...
