I used rice milk instead of milk, and sucanat instead of sugar, and they aren't super sweet (I'd prefer sweeter) but my children gobbled them up, and that's all that matters!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918622203483736860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596607723729148765.post-72073727278090599372008-08-22T18:56:00.000-04:002008-08-22T18:56:00.000-04:00PS Angie,Don't buy Goya rice four in the supermark...PS Angie,<BR/><BR/>Don't buy Goya rice four in the supermarket-it is grainy. The rice flour int he Oriental market is so fine. SOme have told me they can't trust Oriental flours because they may get contaminated by other flours in the manufacturing, but I have had no problem. I prefer organic but I have not found a good organic white rice flour, or even organic corn starch or tapioca starch.<BR/>Sicne this recipe does not have tapioca, I am kind of concluding after trying about 15 different bread recipes that all contained varying degress of tapioca, that this may be what makes the bread hard and heavy.<BR/><BR/>Also you can get Bette Hagmans cookbooks in the library- I have had one out and keep renewing it-also "Gkuten free for dummies" is helpful. I have been at this almost a year.<BR/><BR/>There is an AMAZING pasta that even my husband and son don't know is gluten free-it is a little pricey at 4.00 but it is the most similar to regular pasta-you have to boil it exactly 6 min's after the water returns to a boil--called "Bionaturae" made with potatoe rice and soy.<BR/>Sorry to hijack this blog!!!<BR/>It has been a real journey being gluten free--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596607723729148765.post-73873220905860506022008-08-22T18:48:00.000-04:002008-08-22T18:48:00.000-04:00Angie,I have these flours that I use for various r...Angie,<BR/>I have these flours that I use for various recipes:<BR/>Tapioca starch/flour-whole foods or Oriental market<BR/>Corn starch-local market<BR/>Sorghum flour-Whole foods<BR/>Rice flour- Oriental Market<BR/>Glutenous rice flour-Oriental market<BR/>Brown rice flour-Whole foods<BR/>Potatoe starch-Oriental market<BR/>Xantham gun-Whole foods (expensive at 10.00 a bag but lasts since you only use a few tsp's in breads, etc<BR/>Chick pea flour (also called Gram)-only can get it at Pakistan or middle eastern stores.<BR/>Some of the flours you have to refrigerate(brown rice) and others you can keep at room temp.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Whole foods is a big health food market in Florida.<BR/>You can go to Amazon.coma nd buy some of the flours in bulk. It gets annoying with so many flours when you run out of one!<BR/><BR/>But you can substitute then once you get to know them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596607723729148765.post-27878303577904399942008-08-22T15:27:00.000-04:002008-08-22T15:27:00.000-04:00Hi ...

I have tried so many and they are all heavy (except Toms but my daughter doesn't like chick pea flour..I bought a bread machine and it doesn't have a one rise cycle (can't return it cause my hubby threw out the box) and most of them only are good the day they are made.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596607723729148765.post-26811840255729263832007-04-17T23:48:00.000-04:002007-04-17T23:48:00.000-04:00This looks great- I can't wait to try it!This looks great- I can't wait to try it!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113943622018188533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596607723729148765.post-42930309739669497182007-04-16T14:35:00.000-04:002007-04-16T14:35:00.000-04:00Congratulations!
