LaBread :)

I have tried many bread recipes in my days.  For several years I used the "Pizza Dough" recipe that I just posted.  I used that for bread, rolls, breadsticks, pizza, etc.  I still use it, just not as much.  We tried a new recipe about a year ago and my kids absolutely love it!  The problem with the new recipe is that it is higher in Phe.  So, I decided to mix the new recipe with the "Pizza Dough" recipe.  Voila!  It was perfect, lower in phe and delicious.
For the delicious bread recipe, and MANY other delicious recipes, go to www.cookforlove.org.  There are some amazing recipes on this website!  Many of them I will make and show you on this blog.  Yum!

LaBread
(haha, we are the LaComb's, so I named it LaBread. Yeah, my 17 year old just rolled her eyes.)
This is a recipe for one loaf.  I usually double it and make 2 loaves at a time.  It is great to slice it up, put it in a large Ziplock freezer bag, and freeze.

Starter:  put these ingredients together first and let them sit on the counter for about 20 minutes, until it bubbles up a little bit.
-15 gm flour (regular flour)
-8 gm yeast
-60 gm warm water

Dry ingredients:  I love to use the Bosch mixer
-405 gm wheat starch
-50 gm Metamucil-plain
-80 gm tapioca starch
-7 gm xanthum gum
-10 gm potato flakes
-12 gm salt
-1 TB sugar
-1/2 TB baking powder
I like to use a whisk and just whisk these together to break up any lumps

Liquid ingredients:  Mix in a separate dish so you can microwave them to warm them up a little bit
-295 gm Rice Milk (I have also used Mocha Mix, or other non-dairy creamers)
-125 gm water
-3 TB butter
-54 gm honey
Warm these up to a temperature like that of a baby's bath.

Mix the dry ingredients, liquid ingredients, and starter together in the mixer just till they are mixed.   Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let the dough sit for about 10 minutes.  Then, turn the mixer on and give it a good mix and knead.  I often add more wheat starch as I mix so that it can be handled without being too sticky.  Shape it into whatever you want to make, bread, rolls, breadsticks, etc.  Let it rise and then bake in the oven at 350 degrees.  For bread, it takes between 30 and 40 minutes.  I like to put butter on the bread when I take it out of the oven.  It makes it nice and shiny and pretty.

I love my Bosch mixer!!!  It is as old as me!  This is the same one I would sit next to on the counter while my mom made bread.  I love this mixer, but I have a wish list with a new Bosch mixer on it!  Someday.




Yummy rolls....take Sam's word for it!
