Bread #001

Modified from this recipe

Dry

  • 1 Cup of sorghum flour
  • 1/2 Cup of Teff flour
  • 1 1/2 Cups of Tapioca Starch/four (not Casava flour)
  • 2TBsp of ground flaxseed meal
  • 2TBsp of sugar
  • 1tsp of sea salt
  • 1tsp of baking powder

Wet

  • 1tsp of chia seeds & 2 teaspons of water to replace 1tsp of xantham gum
  • 2TBsp of flaxseed meal & 6TBsp of water to replace 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup of light oil (canola)
  • 1tsp of apple cider vinegar
  • 2tsp of yeast (reduce at altitude!!)
  • 1 1/2 Cups of water

Rose till it overflowed and then baked for an hour.

Lessons learned:

  • At altitude less yeast is needed and some recommend reducing the starches and replacing that volume with heavier flours or just reducing volume entirely.

Plan for Bread #002

  • reduce yeast to 1 1/2 tsp
  • reduce tapioca starch to 1 Cup
  • potentially incread Teff to 1 cup to offset reduction of Tapioca or add 1/4 cup to both Teff & Sorghum.
  • potentially reduce water cuz after saving dough it did sink in a little. Probably save this change for Bread #003.
