Whew! I've had quite the time finding GF recipes that my picky 3 year will eat! Thanks for all of your suggestions and recipes; I am slowly trying them all out! I've kind of given up on bread and come to the realization that a tortilla must be the way to go for easy lunches for my Karlie. I tried many recipes online but couldn't find a good one that uses freshly ground soaked whole grain, which is what I prefer for better digestion and absorption of nutrients. So I adapted my original recipe and finally made one that she likes! Next time I am going to try to use less tapioca flour and more brown rice or buckwheat, but this is what worked well so I thought I should post it before I forget it!
Combine:
1 cup freshly ground brown rice flour
1 cup freshly ground buckwheat flour
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp. xanthan gum
1 cup water
1/4 cup oil (olive, coconut, or butter)
1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
Cover and soak at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Then:
- After soaking, add 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. sucanat, and 1 tsp. salt to soaked flour mixture, kneading in the flour until the dough is workable but not too stiff.
- Shape into 8 – 10 balls and let stand 10 more minutes.
- Roll to form a circle or use a tortilla press. I found that this dough is a little more sticky than my old recipe so I rolled the tortillas between two sheets of wax paper.
- Bake on a lightly greased griddle till done (not browned). Toast for about 20-30 sec. per side.
