Gluten-Free Gastronomy

This page is an on-going project and I plan to add to it on a weekly basis.

Basic GF White Sauce

2 TBS butter
1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose GF flour
2 cups milk
Seasonings of choice and/or bouillion

Melt butter in sauce pan.  Add gf flour and seasonings, stirring until mixed.  Immediately add milk, stirring constantly over medium heat until thick and bubbly.


Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Bourbon and Molasses

6 small yams
4 Tbs unsalted butter (I just use regular salted)
3 TBS sugar (I use brown sugar)
3 TBS unsulfured molasses
3 TBS bourbon
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt & pepper to taste

Bake or boil yams until tender.  Place in large sauce pan (without skins) and add the rest of the ingredients.  Mash until smooth with potato masher or electric beater.  Can be made ahead and gently warmed over low heat.


Ham-Apple-Macaroni Bake

1-2/3 cup quinoa elbow pasta           
4 TBS butter                                      
1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour            
2 TBS brown sugar                           
2 TBS prepared mustard                  
1/4 tsp salt
Dash pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups cubed cooked ham
2 medium apples, pared & thinly sliced
1 cup soft gluten-free bread crumbs    2 TBS butter, melted

Cook elbow pasta per package directions.  Drain.
Melt 4 TBS butter in saucepan; blend in flour, brown sugar, mustard,
salt, and pepper.  Add milk.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Place cooked macaroni, ham and apples in baking dish.  Pour sauce
over and stir. 
Combine bread crumbs and melted butter; sprinkle over top.  Or you
can sprinkle with grated cheese, mozzarella or Mexican blend work well.
Bake in 350 oven for 30 to 35 minutes.


GF Bread

We use the recipe for gf bread that can be found on Bob's Red Mill website (bobsredmill.com).  The only change we make is to substitute 1-1/2 cups of the flour called for with "Carol's Flour Blend", which can be found in Carol Fenster's cookbook, listed on my page "Favorite Products & Cookbooks."  It always turns out perfectly and tastes good.  The texture of any GF bread is not the same a that made with wheat and is more moist.  It toasts well but may have to be toasted longer.  Also, lasts longer if kept in the refrigerator.  In experimenting,JBhas added 2 TBS of Costco's Kirkland Organic Salt-free Seasoning (similar to Mrs. Dash) which is really yummy. 

GF Pizza Crust

We use the recipe that can be found on Bob's Red Mill website (bobsredmill.com).  The only change we make is to substitute 3/4 cup of the flour called for with "Carol's Flour Blend" which can be found in Carol Fenster's cookbook, listed on my page "Favorite Products & Cookbooks."  After many failed attempts at making pizza crust, this recipe turns out great all the time.

GF Dilly Bread

1 pkg yeast
1/4 c warm water
1 c cottage cheese, heated to lukewarm
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS instant minced onion
1 TBS butter
2 TBS dill seed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp soda
1 unbeaten egg
1-1/4 c Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour
1-1/4 c Carol's Flour Blend (from Carol Fenster's cookbook)

Preheat oven to 350.
Soften yeast in warm water.  Add warmed cottage cheese and all other ingredients, beating well after each addition.
Cover.  Let rise until double.
Stir down.  Turn into well greased loaf pan.
Let rise until light - 30-40 minutes.
