KJ's Healthy Whole Grain Bread

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients: 

2  cups brown rice flour, preferably super-fine 

1  cup gluten-free oat flour 


(If you cant eat oatmeal flour replace oatmeal with teff flour or sweet rice flour)

1 cup teff flour

1/2 cup amaranth flour

2 cup potato starch


1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 


1 tablespoon salt 

1 Tablespoon (Vegan Natural flavor protein powder, like natureaid), optional but makes the bread lighter and softer
2 Vitamin C pills (crushed up into powder) Not Joking!

Yeast Mixture:
3 cups original almond milk, warmed to 110 to 120 degrees
(microwave for about 2 ½ minutes in my microwave)
1/2 cup honey 

1 tablespoon molasses 

6  teaspoons active dry yeast

Wet Ingredients:

5  eggs, room temperature


½  cup Earth Balance 
butter, room temperature

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup applesauce

Step 1: Prepare two 9-inch glass bread pans by greasing well with spray oil. Set aside.

Step 2:In separate bowl mix brown rice flour, oat flour, sweet rice flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt whisk together just until mixed. Set aside.

Step 3: Heat milk to 110 to 120 degrees.  Add honey, molasses and dry yeast to hot milk an stir just until combined.  Set aside to let yeast activate.

Step 4: In mixer, add eggs and whip real well.  Add butter, whip well.  Add lemon, vinegar and applesauce and whip well again. 

Step 5: Add the yeast mixture to wet egg mixture already in mixer.  Add half the flour and mix just until combined.  Add the rest of flour and mix all ingredients together until combined. Then mix for about 2 minutes on medium-high speed. Batter will resemble a very thick cake batter.

Step 6: Spoon batter into prepared pans. Brush each loaf with egg white to smooth out the top of bread loaf. This recipe makes two 9-inch loaves.  Let dough rise in a warm place for approximately 40 minutes or until nearly doubled in size. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake Bread for 40 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.

Step 7: Cool bread in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on a rack. Wrap tight in large plastic bags to keep moist.
