Corn free, gluten free bread

     This is a recipe for corn free and gluten free bread. Bread is the one thing that you may miss the most on this diet. There are some gluten free breads in the health food stores, but they don't compare to this one. Even my daughters like this one, and they don't need to eat corn or gluten free. This bread tastes almost like corn bread and is slightly sweet with a course texture.

*3 whole eggs plus 1 egg white
*1 tbs apple cider vinegar (white vinegar is a corn derivative)
*3/4 cup milk or milk substitute
*2 tbs oil (canola)
*2 tbs sugar
*3/4 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp baking powder (featherweight; other baking powders contain cornstarch)
*1 tbs ground flax
*1 and 1/2 cup rice flour
*1/4 cup oat flour
*1/4 cup almond flour
*1 and 1/2 tbs baker yeast
*2 tbs gluten free oats

     DIRECTIONS:

      *in large bowl mix wet ingredients
      *in separate bowl mix dry ingredients and yeast
      *slowly incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients
      *grease 1 bread pan with canola oil
      *pour batter into pan (Note: it will not be doughy)
      *sprinkle top with gluten free oats

This makes one loaf.

No need to have it rise. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.

     This won't be a super high bread, but it is really really good and really full of fiber. I ate mine with peanut butter. It was quite satisfying. You can also try other flours in this and see how it comes out. I sometimes use soy flour, but limit it to no more than a 1/4th cup.
