Little inspirations!!

I was at a craft store the other day and a lady who was in her late 80's was telling her friend that she finally completed her craft room.... 62 years after starting.... she went on to say that her husband better learn to cook and clean because she's dedicating the last years of her life to sewing!! It made me think of the things I always put off for a later day when we have the money, space or time and how wrong that is! What is life if you're not doing things that excite and bring joy to your life?  So I started small and have started drawing again and when the rain finally stops i'll start horse riding lessons.

Of course everything can be compared to cooking, so with that story in mind I've been having a difficult time trying to make praise worthy gluten free bread. I don't want to be overheard in William and Sonoma when i'm 88 yrs old telling my friend I've finally mastered gluten free bread! So I got busy and after many many attempts produced my first delicious gluten free bread..

This bread has a light texture, it tastes like "homemade white bread". It's not the most attractive, but it tastes heavenly!

Gluten Free white bread recipe

4 tbsp butter (or ghee) softened
1/4 cup raw cane sugar (or palm sugar)
1 tsp maple syrup
5 egg whites
1 cup plain yogurt (or coconut yogurt)
1 1/4 cups potato starch
3/4 cup millet flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

*Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a medium sized loaf pan.

*Cream the butter, sugar and maple syrup together in a medium sized bowl or in a stand up mixer with whisk attachment until light and fluffy. Add egg whites and beat until frothy. In a separate bowl, sift the dry ingredients together and add to the wet ingredients along with apple cider vinegar. Gently place the dough in the prepared pan and smooth the top.

*Bake for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
