Quinoa Buns


Adapted from Bette Hagman recipe found in The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread - Page 70.

Dry Ingreds:
1 1/2 cups Bette Hagman Gourmet 4 Flour Blend
1 1/2 cups Montina Mix
3 tbspn Quinoa Flour (sorry I didn't name recipe )
2 1/4 tspn Xanthan gum
3/4 tspn Salt
1 1/2 tspn Unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 tspn Egg Replacer
1 1/2 tblspn Brown Sugar
2 1/4 tspn Dry yeast granules

Wet Ingreds:
2 whole extra large eggs
4 1/4 tblspn olive oil*
3/4 tspn Distilled Vinegar
1 1/2 cups Warm water (110 - 115 degrees)

Several Foil Tart Pans. You can reuse them if you are careful.

Yield: About 12 buns

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Set it aside

In your mixer bowl, whisk the 2 eggs, the olive oil & the vinegar together.

Turn mixer on low. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time until mixed. Slowly add water until the dough is the right consistancy. You may not need all the water. The consistancy will be like a stiff muffin batter - not like something kneadable like you might think.

Turn mixer on high and mix for 3 1/2 minutes.

Spoon the dough into greased and GF flour dusted pan. In the case of the buns, we used 4" tart pans. The disposable ones. Fill the tart pans about 1/2 full**. You might want to experiment with 1 or 2 first so you know how to fill them.

Cover pans and let rise for about 35-45 minutes for rapid rise yeast. 60 min. or more for regular yeast.

Bake in a 400 oven for 20-30 minutes. Cover bread after 10 minutes of baking with aluminium foil. GF flours brown much quicker than NGF flours - thus the need for protection. Gotta practice safe baking hehehe

Remove from tins and let cool on a rack.

Note: The buns that survive the inital feeding frenzy get put in the freeze. After thawing - I will put them in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds just to restore the softness. Or, I'll thaw them in the wave. These buns do not crumble when warmed.


*You can also use 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 margarine.
** The amount of dough needs to be tweaked a bit. I think maybe a little more could be added. I think it might make them a tad thicker.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, there goes Al with his food Porn again.

He should be arrested for contributing to the deliquency of a celiac. Maybe if we could get him on dateline we could get more respect for CD.

Al, I am looking forward to the recipe, looks great. Is that like sloppy Joe in the bun or taco meat? Looks yummy. And who doesn't love tater tots and salad

My thing is I need to buy the main ingriedients to make all these things. The GF flour mix ect. As I make recipes I will just start making my pantry of GF stuff.

Peg seems very.. supportive. Is she a celiac too or follows the diet with you?

Some tater tots have gluten and some not, same as french frys. It's usually as maltodextrin. So... many things have maltodextrin. I will be reading along and all..... of a sudden, something you would have never guessed would have gluten, does!!!! That just ruins everything

Whoops - I thought we had established that maltodextrin if made in the U.S. is GF (made from corn or tapioca, I think). Now, if it comes from somewhere else, could be a problem.

Al, where did you find that OreIda tater tots were GF? Thanks.

[sarahceliac]

Are you serious??? I have never heard that about the maltodextrin! I avoid so... many things. So if the item is made in the US then the maltodextrin is fine???? yeah!!!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!! I am happy!!!!!

There's a thread going on here somewhere about it. Al has found a lot of information on the subject.

I did the same thing in the beginning, thinking maltodextrin was malt and therefore a no-no.
