I have been craving a bit of carbs lately and so have been digging up a few of my favourite recipes. This bread is so easy and delicious I thought I would share it again. Rather than inventing the wheel though I’m taking the easy way out and re-blogging my original post 🙂 The Gluten free flours can be changed up as you like too … I now use quinoa instead of chickpea flour in this recipe and it still tastes just as good. From August 2017, when we were still living on the bus rather than just holidaying in it ……
So, I know … it has been a while since I posted, longer than I planned anyway. It seems that one down side to bus life in Winter is the reduced solar power we have. My old laptop is the one thing on the bus that needs to be plugged into a regular (i.e. not solar) plug and sucks up the power fast which means that I either have to duck into the library to use it for any length of time or wait until a sunny day! Well here it is a sunny Sunday afternoon and I thought I would get onto a blog post at last.
We are just back from a quick overnighter down the coast. It was only 30 mins away and yet with SH1 closed it was such an awesome break. Parked up right on the beach without the hum of traffic made us all feel very spoilt and themselves spent hours on the rocky shore exploring and playing. It is wonderful having our home with us where ever we travel and being able to have those home comforts too. One home comfort I have been enjoying lately is some homemade Gluten Free bread (and toast). The shop stuff is good but it usually comes a quite a price and invariably gives me a bad case of wind …. enough said!!
Anyway … this recipe is one that I shared last year but if you are like me and completely forgot about it while basking in the Summer sun then here it is again. Actually I have a lovely mum from one of Infant Massage Courses to thank for the reminder and I’m so glad she did. This loaf recipe is super easy!! It is my favourite kind of recipe in fact … the chuck it all in and bake kind ;). I have changed it only a little since last time so as to accommodate my vegan child however you can’t really tell anything is different and it makes a fantastic loaf. This GF loaf will last quite a few days in an airtight container, slices really well and can be frozen for toasting later. I have to say, with many other recipes tried and tested, that this really is my favourite Gluten Free bread recipe. Hope you enjoy it too.
