Following on from my successful bread loaf last week, I modified the recipe a little and made bread rolls. The mixture was quite wet as I know it is better wet than dry and so I baked it in small moulds to firm up and then I baked it without the moulds to crisp up. I enjoyed a roll yesterday fresh and loved the yeast smell. Today, I placed one in the microwave for 35 seconds and it came out fresh inside but still crisp on the outside. It is so good to be able to eat bread again and to know exactly what is in it. On Friday at work, I made another of those stupid dietary mistakes. We had run out of baking at home so I went next door to a new bakery and asked what they had that was gluten-free (remember I am not gluten-free but I am fructan intolerant and it more or less equates to the same grain foods like wheat, rye and barley). Anyway, they showed me a couple of things and I chose an orange cupcake. It was totally delicious but I reacted to it within five minutes and felt awful for … [Read more...] about Gluten-Free Bread Rolls

Gluten and Dairy Free Dinner Rolls
I have been looking for a while for a good gluten-free bread which would suit my low FODMAP diet and I found this one on Megan's blog, Allergy Free Alaska. Her rolls look amazing in the photos and quite light while mine turned out dark and more dense. I did follow her recipe almost exactly except I switched out the honey (high fructose) for sugar but I think my flours must have been different to have such a different colour. Adriano liked them and so did I with a little butter. Megan added rosemary and garlic in one version and onion in another. Instead, to make them low FODMAP, I added red chillis, fresh ginger and coriander, all chopped up small. I can't imagine any of that changed the colour. Anyway, I will make them again so I can perfect them and get them as good as Megan did. You can find the recipe here. I'd also love you to jump over to Nancy's blog, Spicie Foodie, where she has interviewed me and put up a lovely display of photos of my food. I have mentioned Nancy before … [Read more...] about Gluten and Dairy Free Dinner Rolls
Salmon & Avocado on Tapioca Bread Rolls – gluten and grain-free
Adriano had to eat early and go out so he cooked for himself and I allowed myself to indulge a little in my favourite things - smoked salmon, avocado and capers. Avocado is on the list of high FODMAP foods, being a polyol (the P in FODMAPs) so this was a test. And I passed with flying colours. No reaction at all. I have been too scared to test any other foods since the garlic debacle but today I took my courage in both hands and fortunately it went well. To finish off the dish I made some tapioca bread rolls I have made before as the base. This is not a low Fodmap recipe.
