Thank you Max I'm from Egypt and I try danish pastry...my family love it

Dear Max,

Thank you for sharing! Some vegan bakers suggest adding psyllium husk powder or Xanthan gum powder in a gluten-free dough to develop elasticity. Do you find your gluten-free bread's textual far from normal bread?

Thank you

Sourdough:

I didn't have any sourdough starter, so I mixed some water wheat flour, rye flour, buttermilk and live non-fat yogurt and let it all sit for a couple of days.  It didn't seem very active, so I added a pinch of regular old baking yeast.  It was definitely sour, and bubbled up nicely.

Sauce Darkener, Molasses and Salt:

I live in the US.  I have no idea what Sauce Darkener actually is.  The Nordic house link (https://www.nordichouse.com/detail.aspx?ID=50) is still alive, but I can't tell from that page what the bottle actually contains.  Is it sweet?  Savory?  Pungent?  Without access to S.D., I used Brer Rabbit Brand "Full Flavor" molasses.  It is sweet but a little bitter and a little salty - both of which came through in the finished bread.  It is still tasty, but with cream cheese or unsalted butter rather than salted butter or lox.  If I can't figure out what sauce darkener is, I will cut back the salt by 25% next time.

Cooking Technique:

Kernels:

Grains are hard to find at supermarkets in these covid days.  My local home beer brewing supply store was well-supplied, however.  For my kernels, I used equal parts dark red rye, light rye, spelt and white wheat.  I had them crush the kernels as they would for beer mash.  The prices for the grains varied, but were around $2/lb USD ($4.4/kg)  Seems like a good deal to me!  There is a tiny bit of chaff in the mix, but it softened completely during the fermentation steps, and you can't tell it is there in the finished bread.

Again:

Thanks for this recipe.  Unusual for something so simple and forgiving to be so tasty!  I will make this many, many times.

Thank you Max! The best ever gluten-free bread, even the best bread in general!

Skipped part to the dinner to enjoy more bread.

Can I freeze it?

Max;

I made my first batch of these crackers and love them!! I have a question of you, maybe you can answer, do you know how many grams of fiber are in each ounce of cracker?

Thanx,

Romeo

I am new to this site and living in the UK I am struggling with measurement conversion to grams or pounds or millilitres for liquid. Anyone help?

Thanks.

All baking yeasts are the same. Literally the same yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The only difference is how they are treated after they have been cultured. I donøt know the US brands sorry.

Hi Max

Thank you for posting this recipe - we are excited to try it as our middle daughter has just been diagnosed with coeliac. Would you mind describing the yeast (or suggest a brand) please? Am just checking that it is not the instant type?

Thanks again!

That should be ok. It behaves very much like a normal bread.

Dear Max,

Thanks for the recipe. I will try it out very soon.

One question: Can I add raisins, nuts etc. to make a raisins bread???

Kinds regards,

Lucrecia

It is baking powder. My bad. I have changed it.

I have added US measurements to the liquids I forgot.

I leave mine in there all the time. It makes the oven heat up a bit slower, but the temperature is more stable when the temperature is reached.

My favorite is to use it in a convection oven. That usually prevents burning.

Max, can I just leave these stones in my oven all the time? I was wondering if it would make other items cook too rapidly and burn on the bottom?
I love your favorite rye bread recipe!

Yes. has been in a bit of a hiatus. But I am still publishing.

Being vegan I use one tablespoon of flax seeds to three tablespoons of water to replace one egg and it works just fine since flax seeds are akin to linseeds, and lineseeds are hard to find in my area of the California Sierra in bulk.

Not really any that I can think of. The paeleo equivalent is probably fermented vegetables.
