Focaccia Bread - This is incredible. Works well for savory flat-bread sandwiches.

4 tsp sugar
2 c warm water
2 packets rapid rise yeast
3 cups rice flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
3 tsp xanthan gum
2 tbsp minced onions (I use dried)
1 tsp salt
2 eggs or 1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbs Italian herbs
Optional onion salt

Spray 9x13" pan with spray. (Size of pan is variable depending on how thick you want the bread.)

Put sugar in water and add yeast. Set aside.

Whisk together dry ingredients.

Blend egg, 1 tbsp olive oil and yeast water. Add to flour mixture. Whisk till blended.

Pour into pan and and smooth. Brush remaining oil on top and sprinkle with onion salt.

Set aside to rise for 10 to 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400. Bake bread for 20-30 minutes, until lightly golden.

Optional toppings:

grated Parmesan cheese
Sun-dried tomatoes
Hummus

Really good dipped in olive oil with cracked pepper

?????

The Bob's Red Mill I use is their white rice flour, not the sweet white rice flour. Should have put that I guess.

[Mama Ten Bears]

1/2 cup butter (I use ghee to avoid casein)
1/3 cup honey, heaping
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand, which is dairy free)
4 cups rolled oats


Combine butter, honey, brown sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Mix well. Add the oats and mix well. Add the cinnamon, coconut and chocolate chips. Mix well.

Preheat oven to 450.

Grease a 10x15 " pan. (or vary size for your needs) Spread mix into pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, till golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool to warm. Cut into bars while still slightly warm and not completely cooled.

no dear, i meant that bob's red mill is cross contaminated with soy and nuts, so if one has a problem with those, they may not be able to use it

Ah. Yes, it is manufactured in a facility that has other products. We aren't that sensitive here, thank God! Of all the flours I've tried, theirs has the best texture. Not grainy at all. So, glad we can use it without issue. I'm sure some Celiacs can't, but they will know what rice flour to use. All my recipes state rice flour or another flour.

[Mama Ten Bears]

1 3/4 cup sorghum flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp sugar
4 tbsp butter (I use ghee)
2/3 c rice milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 c currants

Preheat oven to 400. Blend all dry ingredients. Add butter and mix to a lightly crumbled mix.

Combine egg and milk and blend together. Pour into flour mixture. Blend to a course meal.

Fold in currants.

Form into scones and place on a grease cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes. Spray top before baking to lightly brown.

Variation:

Cinnamon Sugar Scones: omit currants, add 2 tbs cinnamon and 8 tbsp sugar.

Blueberrry: exchange dried blueberries for currants
