View attachment 24764 Fresh from the oven, it’s sourdough with some spent beer grain flour for character. This appears lighter than previous bakes, likely the result of keeping the lid on my cast iron Dutch Oven through the entire bake.
I’m happy with the result

Perfect!

That reminds me...
I need to get my starter out of the fridge.
I'm breadless

Fresh from the oven, it’s sourdough. Busy day here in my kitchen, and my next task is to dry spent grains from today’s brew session.

Back at it this morning

This is actually tasting pretty good.
You just don't get much oven spring with GF flour.

Gf bread by the loaf is $7.50.
This bread cost me a little over $2.20 in flour hence the need to try and perfect a batch.

Sourdough with sbg flour, right out of the oven. Now I’m back outside to continue working in the yard.

Oh I slapped a little rock out yesterday well that's what the MRS said it looked like lol

It tasted bloody great with my lamb shank stew and bacon and eggs this morning though!

So we have one of those automatic bread makers - just dump everything in and press a button. GF bread comes out great in it, the loaf is big enough to make sandwiches with the slices. Most commercial GF bread loaves (Udi's, Schar) are too small. The machine's bread has plenty of air and spring. Just no decent crust...

How about posting your GF recipe!
I do have a bread maker as well. Would be nice to make one for the boss.

Looking better tonight.

This is for our Hamilton Beach bread machine, which has a specific gluten-free cycle. From what I gather, it has a longer proofing time than the standard cycle. YMMV. For what it is worth, Bob's Red Mill has recipes on their website (and on their bags of GF flour) that have come out well for us. But the bread machine is so easy, we don't bother any other way these days.

Thank you for the recipies. After your post I tried making one. I used the one for one type flour but added an extra tsp of the xantham gum. The machine wouldn't mix it just made a hole in the bottom and went round and round. (Like the wheels on the bus). I had to add another egg for moisture and get inthere with a rubber scrapper to keep it mixing
Didnt raise long enough , came out like a brick. But eatable with enough butter.

I'd have suggested more milk or water. Brick-texture is no bueno. We don't get wonder bread, but it is definitely fluffy enough.

Double duty today. Brewed beer and baked bread.
Now back to spinning fresh picked salad from the garden.
