Glutino Cookies- Shortcake Dreams

If your dreams involve eating chalk, then these are the cookies for you. Dude, the baby won't even eat them, and he is not fussy about his cookies. I would have taken my own picture of them had I not thrown them into the garbage outside the grocery store before I left.

Shame on you, Glutino, I expect so much more from you! Stick with the Chocolate covered wafer cookies, even the Strawberry Wafer cookies. I've never tried the Lemon, I have a bad feeling about those.

Bunzzzzz

Yeah, so, here are my buns- after rising. I was going to take some pics after baking but the camera was doing some funky business & I don't reeeeeeeally know how to use it yet. Perhaps one day.

These buns in question were from Annalise Roberts' book Gluten Free Baking Classics. I like this book. They were made using Flour Mix B.

The texture is great. They rose beautifully. They are a little dry. I prefer to use only half a bun for cheeseburger purposes for this reason. But then again, I never really liked a lot of bread with my cheeseburgers anyhow. I like this recipe, but I'm going to explore more options, just to see. I think I can do slightly better.

By the way, I used these English Muffin rings to make the buns. They work well, and you can reuse them, unlike making your own tin foil rings each time. I'm too bizzay for that noise.

Everyday bread

Yeah, bad at blogging. School & a crazy baby will do that for you. Not that anyone is actually reading this, but it's really helpful to remember what I've tried, because honestly, I forget.

A few weeks ago we were making meatballs for dinner. Wouldn't it be lovely to have some garlic bread to go with that? Yeah, it would. After making, browning, & baking the meatballs I really didn't have the energy (or time) to bake a loaf of bread. I dug through the cabinets & came upon this box of "Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix" from Gluten Free Pantry that I had bought. I thought I'd give it a go.



Well shucks, it really doesn't suck! And it couldn't be easier. Add some warm water (I temp to about 112 degrees), melted butter & eggs. Throw it all in the mixer with the enclosed yeast packet, mix for 3 minutes and you're good to go! Today I timed it: 8 minutes to prepare for rising. I place it in a warm oven to rise for 40 minutes & bake for 30.

It's convenient because it's sold at almost all of my local grocery stores for approximately $4.39. We've mostly used it for garlic bread and grilled sandwiches, but it's always worked well for french toast- even the overnight baked french toast recipes.

I've been meaning to try more sandwich-type bread recipes, but for now, this mix works well for us.
