Gluten Bread
A boon for those on low-starch diets but overrated for its protein quality, as both wheat flour and the gluten made from it are deficient in lysine.
- 3 Cups water, at 105 degrees Fahrenheit
- 1 Pkg. Active Dry Yeast – Aisle 2 or Freezer Aisle
After 3-5 minutes, when yeast is dissolved, beat in:
- 2 Cups Gluten Flour – Bulk Aisle 5
Let it sponge rise in a warm place until light and foamy. Combine, beat and then stir into the sponge:
- 1 Egg, beaten – Aisle 1
- 2 Tbsp. Melted Shortening – Aisle 2
- 1/2 Tsp. Salt – Aisle 2
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
Stir in:
- About 4 Cups Gluten Flour
Use only enough flour to make dough that will knead well. After kneading, shape into 2 loaves. Let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 1 hour.
