Pumpkin seed yeast Bread
January 13, 2009
I saw this Gluten-free, vegan yeast bread here: http://glutenfreevegan.wordpress.com/2007/05/29/yeast-bread-v10/
She also has a yeast free version!
It looked so delicious I decided to try it.
Here are some pictures:
And now for the rundown:
I used the two and a half cups of water in the beginning which was a big mistake because I had to keep adding more flour later to make it thick enough. I didn’t follow the instructions so well..woops. It did rise beautifully though!
Once baked and pulled out of the oven, the texture was wonderful. Light and slightly chewy but soft with bubbles inside! It has quite a hard crust which I wasn’t fond of but some might like this. The taste was rather bland so I would recommend adding some seasonings or just more nutritional yeast before baking. The one good thing about it being somewhat bland though, is that it’s neutral enough for it to have so many topping possibilities. And OH! the possibilities. This bread is good enough for a sandwhich, and you don’t hear that very often (or ever) with gluten free bread. How about some “cream cheese” with jam? Or peanut butter and jam? Or chickpea salad! Avocados and olives and spinach with dressing…..mmmmm.
One thing to note also is that I put it in my fridge overnight and in the morning it felt like dry crumbs, but as soon as I micro-waved it for a few seconds (about 30), it felt like it was fresh out of the oven again. Wonderful!
