This is vegan, gluten free, nightshade (and allium) free, also gum free and as low histamine, as I can get. It turned out really well, nice crust and texture. It tastes good, nice toasted, and no weird aftertaste.

Sorghum Bread

A vegan, gluten free and gum free recipe.

Prep time: 15 mins + 60 mins rise
Cook time: 60 mins
Cooling 2hrs
Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

Dry:

1.5 cups (180g) Sorghum Flour
1 cup (120g) Tapioca Starch (or Arrowroot)
half cup (60g) Brown Rice Flour
2 tsp Instant Yeast (ensure certified gluten-
free)
1-2 tbsp Maple Syrup (sugar feeds yeast)
1tsp Salt

Wet:

1 and a quarter to 1.5 cups Warm Water
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine
warm water, maple syrup, and yeast. Let it sit
for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk
together sorghum flour, tapioca starch, brown
rice flour, and salt.

3. Combine: Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to combine for 2-3 minutes. The dough should be thick and sticky, not pourable like cake batter.

4. Proof: Transfer the dough into a parchment-
lined 2lb loaf tin. Smooth the top with wet
fingers or a spatula. Cover with a damp towel
and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes
or until doubled in size.

5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake
for 50-60 minutes. The loaf is done when it is
golden brown, sounds hollow when tapped,
and has pulled away slightly from the sides.

6. Cool: Allow the bread to cool completely in
the tin before slicing, otherwise, the center
will be gummy.

Notes: As this recipe contains no gums or
psyllium, the tapioca starch acting as the binder requires a full cool-down to set the
Structure.

I cooked in my air fryer oven 185 • c on bake, and completely cool down in tin for 2 hours before removing and slicing.

I’m moving soon, and packed my loaf tins, as didn’t expect to have the spoons to try a new recipe before the move. I used a smallish Pyrex this time, but will use the loaf time next time.

I’m still learning about low histamine diets, realised after I bought a vegan gluten free brownie mix, that I’m not supposed to have chocolate/cocoa 🙄 But I didn’t fancy crying at a new suitable for me recipe at the last minute, when it failed, so I ate them. I will avoid fron now, and luckily the reaction wasn’t too bad.

The brownies were very good, I did end up using 2 packs for on gin just over 8”. Great texture and taste and would use again.

Officially full of Trini style roti. I don't know why but when January rolls in, I desperately crave really hearty, spicy food. This is a great recipe that I come back to over and over again.

If you break marinating the chicken to a day before it's fairly low labour. I omit the canned chick peas because they do me fierce damage and for a long time when i had trouble with nightshades this was my favourite. I'd just sub sweet potato for the regular potato.

I love this with tamarind sauce for doubles, but it's tasty with any tamarind or mango chutney.

For a gf roti, i dip each side in of a gf flour tortilla in the sauce and then heat it for 30 seconds in the microwave. It not quite the same, but it's pretty darn tasty. A little messy to roll though.

Last festive #meal of the season: #NightshadeFree parsnip #gnocchi (my partner has food #allergies). That meant swapping white potatoes for less starchy sweet pots, so it was a challenge to get the dough thick enough. Ended up blitzing our #GlutenFree flour supply: buckwheat, teff, cornflour, & a LOT of tapioca flour before it finally held its shape. But they came out wonderfully in the end.
