The last few batches have gone straight to the bin. She made some yesterday that was almost palatable and I'll try again next week. If I get it right eventually I'll post the recipe for you. I'm considering a brewers yeast and start it off separately before adding it. That might work🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) My wife is gluten free and also finds the supermarket pizzas to be unpalatable. I make her a socca base (chickpea or gram flour, olive oil, egg, salt and lots of ground black pepper, beaten to a thick batter with water and fried in a large frying pan to make a 1/4" thick crispy base) topped with the usual pizza toppings and finished off in a very hot oven. OK, it doesn't taste like a wheat pizza, but it is much, much tastier than the supermarket gf offerings.

My old bread maker still resides in the garage. Recently I've found that she can tolerate a small amount of my bread made with some readily available flours. You sound worse than my daughter but it might be worth looking into. She can only have 1 slice or 1 small bread cake. Today I'm going to try a cheese bread for her using a lacto free cheese. I hope it works for you. The picture below the middle one is for the brand only as that's for me. Sure you get the idea. The thing they all have in common is they're all organic Canadian wheat. Allinsons is cheapest, but she's less tolerant of that. The others are via the internet. Hope you go on ok.

lord_seagrave Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Lady S and I had an unintentional vegetarian dinner the other night - homemade dhal (just red lentils simmered for 30 mins in water with turmeric and salt, with a load of fried onions, chillies and spices chucked in at the end), salads (including a really simple thing of grated fresh beetroot, cucumber, lime and coriander), and breads. We did enough for four (on paper...) but ended up scoffing the lot! Delicious, and it wasn’t until later we realised that if we hadn’t buttered the bread, it would have been completely vegan. Setting out to “replace meat” isn’t, in my view, the way to do it. Cultivating/celebrating a love of vegetables is a much more positive path. Hugh Fearnley-Whittington’s book on Veg Every Day is a great book to have on hand (if you can ignore the stoopid doodles on the pictures - who on earth thought that was a good idea?!).
