Irish Soda Bread-Gluten Free, Dairy Free

I mostly followed this recipe from Gluten Free Goddess (who has a beautiful website and delicious recipes!): Gluten Free Goddess-Spotted Dog Recipe


My bread-we'd already made a huge dent before I remembered to take a picture!  It was delicious, not too sweet and it had a very similar texture to non-GF soda breads I've had in the past.

I made a few changes as follows:

2 1/4 cup King Arthur Gluten Free All Purpose Flour

2 tablespoons King Arthur Cake Enhancer

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

3 eggs

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

3/4 cup vanilla flavored coconut beverage

1 teaspoon champagne vinegar (was out of lemon!)

3/4 cup currants

Whisk all dry ingredients together.  Whisk together liquid ingredients.  Add wet to dry and mix well.  Add currants last.

I used cooking spray and a pie dish.  I was out of parchment paper, but would recommend it.  I did get the bread out without breaking but the paper would have made it easier.  I did smooth the dough with wet hands to "dome" it.  

Bake at 375 degrees for 28-30 minutes (I find the King Arthur flour bakes quicker than most other gluten free flours).  

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sunday Morning Donuts-GF,DF.

I used this recipe:

Fluffy Cake Doughnuts

This is my alteration.

2 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Flour
2 tablespoons King Arthur Caken Enhancer
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs
3/4 cup So Delicious Coconut milk
1 tablespoon Spectrum Shortening (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Grease donut pan and preheat oven to 325 degrees.

I used the 6-Donut Nordic Ware Pan.

Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix together wet ingredients and then add to dry.

Spoon into donut pan.

Bake about 16 minutes, until firm but spring back to touch.

While still hot toss in cinnamon sugar.

They ended up springy and not dry, not crumbly.  They are a bit denser than I like, but the family ate them up quickly.

Next time I might try more liquids and see if it gets lighter.
