$20 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway Winner

Congratulations to the winner of the $20 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway.  And the winner is #126 Wolf Girl. You have won a $20 Amazon Gift Card from Bestcovery. I used random.org to determine the winner.

Bestcovery covers thousands of products and services, ranging from the Best Hotels to the Best Salsa. It is the fastest and easiest way to find the best of everything. They have made researching the best simple by de-cluttering the information you need and organizing it into concise, easy to understand recommendations. With this site you will no longer need to visit multiple sites that force you to sort through numerous pages of conflicting reviews, or be left to interpret and compare specifications on your own. They have done the research to recommend the best products and services for a variety of needs, uses and budgets to help you save time and money. One of the things that I like is that they will show you at what store to get the best price.
 
Thank-you to everyone who entered my giveaway, it was allot of fun.  

Gluten-Free Bread

Posted: 09 Dec 2010 08:01 AM PST

Dry Ingredients
2 Cups Brown Rice Flour
½ Cup Potato Starch Flour
½ Cup Tapioca Flour
1 ½ tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Xanthan Gum
4 ½ tsp. Quick Rise Yeast
Whisk together and set aside.

Liquid Ingredients
1 Cup Warm Water (110-150 Degrees)
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 ½ Tbsp. Honey
1 tsp. Cider Vinegar
1/3 Cup Rice Milk
3 Eggs (whipped)

Pour Liquid Ingredients into the bread machine. Then pour the dry ingredients on top of the liquid ingredients.

Set your bread machine for 1.5 loaf medium crust setting. If you don't have a gluten-free setting, you can use the rapid rise setting.

Tips

•Have ingredients at room temperature.
•Make sure your water is at 110-115 Degrees.
•Use Fresh Yeast.
•After the bread has been mixing a few minutes scrape down the sides of the pan.
•When the bread machine is done baking, I the set the machine on the baking setting for an additional 15-20 minutes of baking.
•When the bread machine is done cool the bread on a wire rack.

If you don't have a bread machine:

Follow the instructions for the dry ingredients and liquid ingredients.
Mix everything together and pour it into a greased bread pan. Let it rise for 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until crust is light golden brown.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

You can get your ingredients at your local store, nature store or on
