ok--my turn, i need help with bread

[Deb]

I need a recipe that doesnt use yeast, corn or soy flour, and no gluten--anyone have a suggestion? No corn or soy can be a prob and I feel I need to stay away from yeast too. Deb

I have a quick bread recipe that I've adapted out of my Mom's old cookbook.
I left out the sugar, and used raw honey instead.
I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour.
Here it is:

Plain Muffins

2 cups Flour (Bob's Red Mill Guten Free Flour)
3 tsps Baking Powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 tblsp Raw Honey (of if you are sensitive, leave it out)
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
Milk or Water (I use water it works fine) enough to add later for muffin batter consistency
2 - 4 tblsp organic coconut oil (I use 4 tblsp)

Measure out the flour with the baking powder and salt into a bowl. Mix well with a wire whisk (the flour is difficult for me to sift in a sifter).
Then in a separate bowl beat the eggs, coconut oil, and honey together, until well mixed.
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, and while stirring add just enough milk or water to make a batter-like consistency, not too thick, not too thin.
Spoon into either 12 regular or 6 large muffin tin.
Bake in 400 degree oven 20-25 minutes or until done. Test for doneness if using larger muffin tins.
If after the next day they start getting a little dry, I put the muffin into the microwave with a little glass of water and heat for 30 seconds or 45 seconds(?) ; the moisture will re-hydrate the muffin, and it is always good warm with butter and jam or honey on it.
Hope this helps you.
