Gluten-Free Sandwich Buns

"This is another recipe from Judith Fertig's book 200 Fast & Easy Artisan Breads. I have never made it, but am posting it by request. The master recipe is already dairy free, and you can use an egg substitute if you need to. It is the assortment of flours & other ingredients that is supposed to give you a finished product that resembles a wheat bread. The recipe notes that the dough is unique, at first it will resemble a very wet batter. After an hour it will thicken to the consistency of brownie batter. After 2 hours it rises to about 1 inch from the top of the bowl & looks like cornbread batter or golden mashed potatoes. The raw dough doesn't taste like a yeast bread dough. I will create a gluten-free recipe book in my shared cookbooks that will include all of the gluten-free recipes from this book. If you don't have a baking stone, you can still make artisan breads, just make sure your oven has preheated for at least 30 minutes & add the 2 cups of water to a broiler pan. If you don't have a baking stone put your mini pie pans on a cookie sheet for ease of handling. I am sure you could use a jumbo muffin pan instead of mini pie pans. These buns are supposed to freeze well. Check my shared Gluten-Free cookbook for other recipes from this book."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Chef #8832636. My memebership on this site goes back to the days of recipezaar, so I have seen a lot of changes on the site over the years. I still miss the forums, they had a wealth of information in them, and it was great to be able to connect with other chefs through them. I don't think zmail exists anymore either, so I don't think we have any way of contacting other chefs now. I haven't been on the site much in the last few years, mainly because of the changes. I do still pop in to look for specific recipes. I enjoy cooking, and am passionate about baking.
