How to Make Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread

Awesome! It's great to see more about gluten free baking here!

Great post!

Bread Baking: Bella Gluten-Free Multigrain Sandwich Bread Mix

"Nibble-worthy." That's awesome!

Next time you make gluten free bread, slash with a wet knife just before placing in oven.

vegan, non-trans-fat pie crust?

You could use Spectrum Shortening for the fat. It's organic palm fruit oil that's naturally solid at room temperature with no trans fat. You'll get a flakier crust using just palm fruit oil, rather than using Earth Balance Buttery Sticks (combination of fats/oils), but those are great if you're ever looking for a butter substitute for baking. If you're looking, here's a gluten free vegan pie crust recipe.

Ideas to fix Ugly Pie?

Blanket of bread crumbs mixed with cheese would help.

Apple Cider Vinegar - Medical Cure?

I drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every day for the same reason I follow @gastropoda on twitter - it cuts my natural sweetness.

Poll: Can you cook without salt?

I wouldn't avoid using salt unless it were absolutely necessary. I've done some baking without salt for a person with chronic kidney disease (needing low protein, potassium and sodium).

Using liberal amounts of vanilla and other spices & herbs is really important for baked goods that don't have any salt.

Pumpkin Pie Ideas Needed

If you have any gluten free friends, they'd love it if you baked a pie for them. Here's my favorite gluten free, dairy free pumpkin pie recipe - http://freerangecookies.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/gluten-free-pumpkin-pie-recipe/
I don't know why, but pumpkin pie has never appealed to me very much. I'm making pumpkin cookies and flourless pumpkin cake to bake around the pie issue.

Key Lime S'mores Pie

Creamy, tart, and very rich, this key lime pie is made with melted marshmallows and whipped cream. A homemade graham cracker style crust forms a delicious base for this easy gluten free dessert recipe.

Gluten Free Naan Bread

This gluten free naan is made without xanthan gum or eggs, getting it's elasticity from tapioca starch in the form of a gel. Perfect for naan conformists! An overnight stay in the fridge enhances the texture and flavor of this easy gluten free bread.

Instant Carrot Cake

Really great carrot cake made in the microwave. Seriously, you should go make this cake right now. Use a gluten free flour blend or whatever you like. Bake in a 6 oz. mug if you don't have a silicone mini bundt. Vegan, too. Still awesome!

Gluten Free English Muffins

You need to plan ahead for these English muffins. But so worth it! After mixing dough, an overnight stay in the fridge enhances the texture and flavor. Baking powder stirred into dough just before baking maximizes nooks and crannies.

Make a Cookie in 2 Minutes

Since it's zapped in the microwave, the finished cookie won't have the crispy, browned exterior of a cookie that's baked in an oven. Remember, if you judge cookies, you have no time to love them. Great not too sweet cookie that's ready whenever.

Chocolate Twinkies - gluten free

Light and fudgy, these gluten free twinkies are the kind of cake you dream about. They're topped with a magic shell drizzle that works equally well poured over ice cream. If you don't have a twinkie pan, make cupcakes instead. Chocolate, amirite?

Vegan Pumpkin Tart

After posting a recipe for gluten free pumpkin pie, I got requests for a vegan crust recipe. Vegan bakers already know to sub tofu (and extra sugar) in place of condensed milk and to use gluten free flour to thicken pie filling. This is for my vegans
