Brown Sandwich Bread with Teff Flour Gluten Free

Sometime before Christmas I decided I was going to take a page from my daughter book and change the way I eat, I decided that I would only eat when I got hungry (as it turns out thats quite often) but what I didnt know was the result in my weight. I started by just eating fruit all morning, when I got hungry along with seed crackers I made that are gluten free since they are just made with seeds, no grains. Then in the afternoon I make sure to eat protein, then more fruit and for dinner I would have a salad, a vegetable and protein. I lost 32 pounds over the next 3 months. Basically a gluten free diet, no dairy, no sugar! Brown Bread made with Teff FLour

In my quest to eat gluten free I decided that I didnt want to miss out on bread so I tired a brand of gluten free bread from the store and found it had a strange texture, no flavour, and it was dry, not to mention expensive, $6. a loaf, so I started making my own bread and found this recipe. The first was white and heavy, so this was my second recipe the I’m excited to say it meets my criteria, it has a good crumb like a regular whole wheat bread, it slices nicely and is moist. And makes great toast!

Im a recipe reader and study ingredients before choosing to try any recipe and this one had all the ingredients I had on hand except “teff flour”. There’s nothing more irritating than to have a recipe but dont have the ingredients. It has taken me a while to change baking ingredients to gluten free flours, like Brown Rice flour, Almond flour, Arrowroot, coconut flour, an all purpose gluten free flour, Xanthan gum, and for sweetening, I chose xylitol, honey, agave and maple syrup, I just did not want refined sugar.

This bread recipe works for me, moist, makes great toast and good sandwiches.

Low Carb Cranberry Almond Cookies

I decided in 2018 that I wanted to try #GlutenFree recipes and at the time I did not know it would be such a transition from using traditional white or wheat flour, nor did I realize the benefits in going gluten-free on my health or weight. So I jumped in trying a few different recipes along the lines of cookies I like. One of my favorites is a shortbread cookie that is why I chose a recipe which I thought would make my taste buds happy. And it proved to be close.
Cookies With Cranberries
I have tried some recipes using almond flour, coconut flour and some of the others and at the time in 2016, I was not ready to make the change from traditional white flour because I found that the texture is much different than with traditional flour., a bit grainy in texture. It may be because it is does not have the gluten to hold the cookie together, (which is what I found out researching) but recently I have found some great recipes I wanted to try and took a different attitude toward the (texture) of these other alternative flours. I’m still experimenting and I just read on a blog that using 1 Tbsp of gelatin makes a huge difference in texture.

I found this cookie recipe, actually on Instagram and I am liking the ladies’ other recipes and I have tried several. But here is the recipe for her Low Carb Cranberry Almond Cookies and ingredients.

Note:  If you have never baked with the alternative flours and as a nutritional note, Coconut flour: 120 calories, 4 grams fat, 4 grams protein, 16 grams carbs, and 10 grams fiber, it absorbs a lot of liquid and has been suggested to use more eggs.  Almond flour: 160 calories, 14 grams fat, 6 grams protein, 6 grams carbohydrates, and 3 grams of fiber. Source  Both are gluten-free!! The main reason I have decided to make treats with these 2 flours. And because we are enjoying these types of treats we are getting more fiber, lower calories and we still can have sweet treats without feeling guilty.

Another feature is that almost all of the recipes I am finding are small batches, a good thing so I don’t feel guilty if I don’t like them, but I haven’t found that to be the case, theses cookies are not around long enough.[amd-zlrecipe-recipe:12]

Since I first started trying gluten-free recipes, one of the benefits is that I started losing weight and I don’t have that stomach bloat after eating wheat flour recipes. More to come on the weight loss

Another thing I like about theses recipes I am trying it that they are smaller batches, great for testing instead of having a huge batch to deal with. But I can tell you, the recipes I have tired aren’t around long.
