Gluten-Free Experiment #1
So, I went to Sprouts today (think something like Whole Foods or EarthFare, lots of organic and healthy products) to get flour based on two recipes I found at BreadWorld, the Fleischmann's Yeast website. I spent about $40, and got potato flour, brown rice flour, white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, and xanthan gum. Also got cider vinegar, desert honey, some bulk quinoa, quinoa pasta, bulk rosemary, and a bottle of the MetroMint mint water I'd wanted to try.

Okay, unless you like the flavor of BeechNut chewing gum, stay away from the peppermint MetroMint. That's pretty much what it tastes like, old peppermint chewing gum. And by old I mean stale. You can get the same taste effect from drinking water while chewing gum. It was sort of nostalgic, as my dad used to like BeechNut chewing gum, but it was more not-good.

I made this recipe; http://www.breadworld.com/recipes/recipedetail.asp?id=710 ; at least the dough portion. We topped it with ranch dressing, chicken, bacon, broccoli, and cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. It wasn't bad.

I currently have a batch of their gluten-free white bread in the machine. I'm not staying awake until it finishes, so Matt will have to get it out in the morning.
