Quick & Easy Gluten Free Bread Rolls

~ cozebakes ~ 2 Comments

Found this recipe for very quick and simple Gluten Free Bread Rolls using only 3 ingredients and had to think long and hard about making them. I was so sure I would be wasting produce and they would be awful that it took me a number of weeks and a worldwide pandemic before deciding to try them!

Wish I had made the decision earlier. I honestly can’t believe how amazing these rolls are. I’ve made them and I’m still in total disbelief. They are just so good; they turn out light and delicious and will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 4 days. They also toast beautifully too!

You need just 3 ingredients to make these bread rolls. Yes you read right …. three ingredients. That’s all. One bowl, a whisk and a muffin tin. In under 20 minutes, you will have the most light and totally great bread rolls. These rolls are like a little baking miracle 🙂 🙂

You can get 6 large rolls out of this recipe or about 8 medium sized ones. If you go for hand held, bite sized rolls, then you should get 10 from the recipe.

Cheesy Sundried Tomato, Walnut & Thyme Muffins

~ cozebakes ~ 1 Comment

You can make about 24 mini muffins or 12 average sized delicious servings from this recipe. They are totally yummy and it’s really nice to offer a savoury bake at the start of a Coffee Morning, Afternoon Tea or just as part of a buffet.

For a healthier version, I replaced the flour with Spelt Flour which is far less processed and easier for you to digest and it worked well.

The type of cheese you use is up to you but you do need a good strong tasting cheese to get that hit. I used fresh grated Parmesan and it worked so well with the sundried tomato and thyme. I’ve previously used Mature Cheddar also but I would suggest you increase the quantity.

Gluten Free White Bread Recipe

~ cozebakes ~ Leave a comment

After the success of the Gluten Free Brown Bread Recipe, link here: https://www.cozebakes.com/2019/08/24/gluten-free-brown-bread/  I decided to try a white bread one. I’m not a fan of white bread and rarely eat it. The highly processed and additive full versions add nothing to a healthy diet so why include it?

Then I found this recipe, also from the folks at Doves Farm for their white bread recipe and thought it was worth a try. I’m converted! Plain and simple, totally converted! It is so delicious and cuts so beautifully, plus I know exactly what the ingredients are. I had no bloating or feeling of being unwell after eating it which was a very pleasant surprise.

Honestly I spent that much time just looking at the results of this recipe, it’s crazy but I couldn’t believe that gluten free white bread could turn out so beautifully, cut so well, taste so good and keep longer than a lot of other gluten free breads I’ve made in the past.

Gluten Free Brown Bread

~ cozebakes ~ 4 Comments

I recently found brown bread flour from Doves Farm. I use their flours in most of my gluten free baking. The quality is always excellent.

To make gluten free brown bread, it requires a mix of a few different flour types with lots of trials so to find one that’s been created, tested and is successful is such a joy! It’s great they have taken all the hard work out of trial and error with different flour blends and found the perfect combination!

You can find the complete Freee range from Dove’s Farm here: https://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/ 

The first time I made this recipe, I followed it to the letter and it resulted in a totally delicious and authentic brown bread. Such happiness ensued I can’t tell you! After that, I started to add my own twists and each loaf has been perfect.

Good Morning Scones

~ cozebakes ~ Leave a comment

I wanted to make a tasty scone that didn’t leave me feeling bloated when I enjoyed one mid morning and my aim was to have it sugar free and healthy so I combined a couple of fresh and dried ingredients you would normally have in the kitchen,  added some spices and used my Best Scone Recipe as the base. Here’s that recipe if you want to try it: https://www.cozebakes.com/2017/03/10/best-scone-recipe/  

So the Good Morning Scones were born! They are full of lovely naturally sweet ingredients like dried cranberries and sultanas plus using a mix of wholemeal flour with the plain flour adds a healthy, full of fibre boost. I used a mix of sunflower and pumpkin seeds to add even more healthy bites.

Cheese Straws – Gluten Free option

~ cozebakes ~ 2 Comments

Cheese Straws are such a great recipe to go with any type of drinks you’re having. Whether it’s prosecco or a beer, they just work so well and can be serve on their own or as part of a platter with dips and other nibbles. Just two ingredients and you have it sorted!

You can make them as big or small as you like and as you can now buy Gluten Free Puff Pastry from Jus Rol, everyone can enjoy them. I prefer to make them with puff pastry as it gives a nice few layers to them but if you don’t or can’t get it, then use shortcrust pastry.

Cheese Scones

These scones are so full of comfort, there should be a prescription for them. They are so tasty and I’ve given you some ideas for adapting them to suit your own personal taste.

This recipe will make 6 good sized scones and they freeze really well too so you can happily double up the recipe. I’ve also added an idea if you’re feeding little people to make them more appealing.

They are quick to put together and make the most delicious snack or serve with some warm soup..

 I don’t claim this recipe to be in any way mine. It’s been doing the rounds for absolutely years and everyone has their version and their method. I found this one works for me. It does bake differently sometimes depending on what I add.

A friend gave me this recipe from I think a Weight Watchers book. It looks and tastes very like brown bread but uses no sugar, no flour, no oil or buttermilk … so it’s a healthier way to enjoy what seems like brown bread.

This recipe sort of scared me at first but I figured, I won’t know unless I try and it was much easier than I thought, turned out really well and I topped it with a Full Irish Breakfast topping for something a little different.

If you want pizza, then just use the Passata or Tomato Puree and use your favourite pizza toppings for a great family meal.
