Basic Bread and Rolls
Recipe Image:
Introduction:
Breadmaking with the Juvela Gluten-Free Mixes is really quick and easy. As you make a batter rather than a dough, it requires no kneading and only has to prove once.
Notes:
A sachet of easy blend dried yeast is provided with each packet so all you need to add is water and oil.
Makes 2 Loaves or 10-12 Rolls.
Preparation:
Before you start, pre-heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7 and prepare your tins. If making loaves, lightly grease 2x900g (2lb) loaf tins. If making rolls, lightly grease 10-12 Yorkshire pudding or muffin tins.
Ingredients:
1pk Juvela Gluten Free Mix
1 sachet of easy blend dried yeast (supplied with the mix)
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar
2tbsp vegetable oil
450ml (16fl oz) warm water (approx)
N.B. - If using Fibre Mix increase water to 500ml (18fl oz)
Method:
- Empty the whole packet of Mix into a large bowl. Stir in the sachet of yeast and the salt ensuring it is evenly distributed. This ensures a nice even crumb; if clusters of yeast are left, this will result in air holes.
- Stir in the oil (use a light oil like sunflower or vegetable; olive oil is too heavy and will produce a holey uneven crumb) and then add the water (approx. 40°C - pleasantly warm to touch). Beat the mixture well until a smooth batter is formed.
- The mixture should fall quickly back into place when a knife is drawn through it like a paddle. Do not be afraid to add more water if the batter is too thick.
- Divide the mixture between the prepared tins. The mixture should half fill the 2 loaf tins or half fill 10-12 Yorkshire pudding/muffin tins. Ensure the surface is smooth by dipping the back of a spoon in oil and running it over the top of the mixture. Cover with a greased polythene bag or damp tea towel and transfer to a warm place for 30minutes to prove.
- Remove polythene bag/tea towel and bake in a pre-heated oven for: Loaves - 20-25 minutes; Rolls - 15-20 minutes.
- Turn occasionally to ensure an even crust. The bread should be well risen and golden brown. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes before removing from the tins. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
- The bread will stay fresh for 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container.
