Comments for Crazy Orange Turtle's Gluten Free Kitchen http://glutenfreeturtle.com -- a recipe and food blog by Shauna McCabe -- Mon, 16 Mar 2009 23:45:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 Comment on About by Allison http://glutenfreeturtle.com/about/#comment-654 Allison Sun, 28 Dec 2008 17:32:39 +0000 #comment-654 I found your blog through a link on SparkPeople.com, where there is a Celiac 'team'. Someone on the team cited your posting for a recipe for sunflower and flax bread. Will you continue your blog? Have you made any more progress toward a GF bakery? I hope your cats are keeping you entertained! I have a flame point Siamese who is an only-cat since losing my springer spaniel last year. Quickly becoming a cat-person! Wishing you a happy 2009.

]]> Comment on Awesome gluten-free oatmeal and honey bread (only for celiacs who can tolerate uncontaminated oats!!) by Shauna McCabe (Crazy Orange Turtle) http://glutenfreeturtle.com/2008/01/30/awesome-gluten-free-oatmeal-and-honey-bread-only-for-celiacs-who-can-tolerate-uncontaminated-oats/#comment-653 Shauna McCabe (Crazy Orange Turtle) Fri, 26 Dec 2008 00:47:37 +0000 http://crazyorangeturtle.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/awesome-gluten-free-oatmeal-and-honey-bread-only-for-celiacs-who-can-tolerate-uncontaminated-oats/#comment-653 I am sorry that you were upset with the recipe, but I assure you there is nothing wrong with the dough -- I made a loaf this morning to serve with Christmas dinner, and I"m making another loaf tomorrow for Boxing day. Have you made many gluten-free bread's before? Because you cannot regular all purpose wheat flour which contains gluten, the texture of the he dough is very wet. You cannot kneed gluten-free dough, which is why you must use a stand mixer or a bread maker with a gluten-free setting to stir the mixture. I know that the wet dough can be a shock to some when they first start making gluten-free recipes, but had you cooked the dough you would have found that the bread turned out fantastic. In case you don't have a good all purpose gluten-free flour recipe, I've placed one below. I urge you to try the recipe once more using this all purpose gluten-free flour mix, and to ignore the wet texture of the bread dough. You'll love the taste of the bread. I personally think its better than that horrible wheat containing bread -- people who can eat gluten don't know what their missing! All Purpose GF Flour Mix Ingredients * 1 c. brown rice flour * 1 1/4 c. white rice flour * 1/4 c. potato starch * 2/3 c. tapioca starch * 3/4 c. sweet rice flour * 1/3 c. cornstarch * 2 t. xanthan or guar gum Directions 1. Sift all ingredients together so as to mix completely. 2. May be stored in an airtight container for future use. I am sorry that you were upset with the recipe, but I assure you there is nothing wrong with the dough — I made a loaf this morning to serve with Christmas dinner, and I”m making another loaf tomorrow for Boxing day.
