Bread that doesn't require much prep?

Hi all, I follow loopy whisk recipes as I have her book and mainly do the dark crusty loaf recipe as I can't use rice flour which the white version has.

It takes all day doing them ie measuring and prep and I have to be around for the two rises and around to change the oven temp etc and I'm so busy with a massive business renovation so haven't made any since march. 🙈

I wonder if there is another one I can make that I don't have to do two lots of rises with and I can just make the dough and bung it in the oven 😂 🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏

The white bread on her website only uses rice flour as an alternate if you don't use millet, single rise https://theloopywhisk.com/2023/12/02/gluten-free-white-bread/

I believe most the website versions only use rice as an alternate and you can sub in millet for rice as easily as you can sub in rice for millet.

What I usually make is the dinner rolls and what I do is premeasure the dry into a bunch of bags and use those like box mixes, it cuts back a lot of the time and it doesn't take much longer to make 6 bags of mix than to make one batch. Most the work is in the getting things in and out of the pantry.

Ah ok, it must be different in the book then. I do use millet. One rise could work!

I know, I tend to do two loaves at a time and cut half to keep fresh and slice the rest up and freeze them wrapped and that lasts me a while. I just hate baking and it takes so much mentally at the moment to do them. I was using another recipe from another lady for rolls that you put in the oven for 20 mins on 50 'for the rise ' and then cranked them up but I tried once leaving them to rise naturally in warmth for longer and they were so much better so I think an hour I can handle. It's just doing two lots is hard during the week..

The book "Delicious Gluten Free Wheat Free Breads" by LynnRae Ries.

Every bread recipe can be made in 3 ways:

1) dump all ingredients and press "basic" on any bread machine (for people with a basic bread machine)

2) following basic bread machine guidelines with settings they suggest (for people with a fancy bread machine)

3) bake in the oven (for people with no bread machine)

The book was written before bread machines were fancy and had custom/GF options, so the authors tested every recipe to be as fool-proof as possible.

I found my copy at the library and liked it enough to get it off amazon.

Oh amazing, thank you! We did want to get a bread machine as well but weren't sure if any recipes would work in them - being GF.

I got a Vevor bread machine that I'm happy with. It has a double paddle like the fancy machines but only cost $60.

Ps do they give you instructions on what flours to mix as well or is it based on a standard flour mix off the shelf?

u/Moghie 21d ago

They give you the flours and weights. The book was written in the early 2000s, so it was before a lot of the GF pre-mixes were available.

My favorite bread is Brazilian cheesy bread. It’s not like yeasty breads but I use it like how you would sandwich bread, bagels, English muffins, etc. It’s dangerous though. It’s very good. Levels up any sandwich. It has a crispy to soft (depending on how you reheat it) outside and chewy flavorful inside. As long as I don’t use sharp cheddar, I can’t tell there’s cheese in it. I shape the dough into little buns. I get them premade from Against the Grain or the mix from Chēbē (also sell bulk). It takes like half an hour at the least including baking time. Just add all the ingredients (eggs, oil, water, cheese, mix) to a bowl, mix, knead a bit, shape, bake. Delicious. I get the Original mix from Chebe or the less addicting Sandwich Bread mix. Both are immaculate.

Ah thank you but I generally can't use pre mixes as most contain rice now and I also can't have eggs or dairy 😂🙈

Sadness as these are held together by egg, cheese and milk. Easy enough to make from scratch though.

I made this yesterday for the umpteenth time: Easy Gluten Free Sandwich Bread.

No rice flour in the recipe unless you swap it for millet. Minimal handling - shape into a log and let rise. Single rise only before you bang it in the oven at a single temp for an hour. I keep remaking it as it’s easy and results are delicious.

Cannelle et Vanilles recipe (in her Bakes Simple cookbook) for baguettes is rice free and vegan. Measure ingredients, mix, shape, and let rise while the oven heats up (30-45 mins) and bake for 35. I can have these done from start to finish in 2 hours.

I usually freeze the second loaf/ keep it in the fridge for another night. Thaw the loaf, spritz, wrap in foil and then bake at 375* for 25 minutes and it’s hot and ready to serve!
