Brown Rice & Buckwheat Gluten Free Sandwich Bread

[Faith]

Now I am going to mix up the following ingredients. If there is anything explosive in it, don't hesitate to tell me.

500 gr buckwheat flour
2 tea spoons of carob bean gum (thickener)
1 tea spoon of sodium hydrogen carbonate (raising agent)
200 gr grated carrots (this time -- next time walnuts)
3 table spoons of olive or coconut oil
2 or 3 tea spoons of salt
One and a half small coffee cup of water (105 degrees or a little less than hot)
sunflower seeds for the bread crust

And I found a source that can provide me not only with coconut oil but also with coconut fat.

If this turns out well, the next project will be buckwheat crepes. :D

Thank you Eisenheim for the recipe :)

My changed version of it turned out to be unlike your bread. Mine tastes a little blend. The texture is rather cake-like, the slice unstable. I wonder if its the wrong weighing of ingredients, the natron-calobbeengum-ratio. The taste can be improved by adding certain spices and ingredients. I will try another one. Trial and error :P



EDIT: 'My changed version of it'

:( I am finished with that 'bread'! My version doesn't work. After I ate three slices it started to put me off. It's like eating clay, bah! I must find another recipe, one without baking powder and without corn starch or rice flour. I don't know if it's possible to get a real bread texture by the use of baking soda and carob been gum. I expected that soda to make it sponge-like. Too much carob bean gum? Maybe I should use yeast or sourdough instead. Grated carrots? Oh boy, what a waste. But it was worth a try. Now I know a bit more than before. Thank you everyone. :P

There is one thing I don't understand: What about people suffering from gluten-intolerance? Are they not affected by gluten in rice and corn?

Yeah it's weird because those things are said to be gluten free but they still have a prolamine in them. I think some tolerate it and some don't. But it's all bad for you whether you feel it or not.

I can't eat wheat or corn, but seem to tolerate rice well. Why? Not a clue. It seems to be one of the few things I can eat (along with sweet potato) during a bad IBS attack that helps ease the pain.

A food allergy test may be the only scientific means to be sure of a rice allergy. I'm planning on getting one when we can afford it to be sure its safe to eat.

Hey Eisenheim :)

I just tasted coconut fat! Hmmm... :P That alone makes the difference. Delisous. This is also a wonderful alternative to ghee or butter. I wonder what that bread might taste if combined with coconut oil.

Hey Gimpy and 3D-student :) I need to test it myself, as soon as I am able to make the full detoxing diet. Till then I try to find a way to avoid rice and corn.

Are coconut oil and coconut fat the same thing

For me, I'd say yes.

I would too - because coconut oil solidifies at room temperature it is also known as fat

For something cake-like, using just pure buckwheat and no gum or starch or such added will make it more dense and solid - but the mixture heated should be quite thick (almost like dough, or even like dough - depends on how you make it), as too much water will make it mushy.

For less bland taste, using sea salt as your salt can make some difference.

I used to make pies of this stuff - depending on the kind of pie, for example meat or fish or almost any leftover food items can be put into it, or if a fruity kind of pie then making a less salty, really thick dough, forming it and putting stuff in.


For a more airy, elastic texture with anything buckwheat, potato starch seems to work well - some baking powder use potato starch, and it's ok. I use organic potato flour for these things from time to time.

Depending on your food sensitivity, you can use Tapioca flour, arrowroot, or potato starch - they are all forms of starch - as well as almond and chestnut flours.

Do tapioca, potato and arrowroot flours have the same properties? I've found that tapioca makes things too gummy. I've only used arrowroot for shortbread in small amounts. And I've heard potato starch acts differently than potato flour. The starch is a thickener like corn starch.

What I've used is potato starch flour (though, it seems incorrectly, it is called simply potato flour on the package making me think they were the same thing, listing the ingredient as potato starch) - it is indeed a thickener (so, from what I've read, is potato flour with more than the starch, though also different - it tastes potato, etc., and is basically ground up and dried boiled potato, while potato starch flour is starch from unboiled potato) - it also binds things really well, so I use it when I make blinis and pancakes with quinoa (which needs some help).

Don't know how the different good starches compare - though apparently others on the forum have made quinoa blinis adding arrowroot, so it seems to work similarly enough in this regard.

Makes sense--thank you!
