Me again!
Here’s a link for a fairly recent recipe that worked out really well. http://onlysometimesclever.wordpress.com/2007/05/25/gfcf-molasses-spice-bread-with-optional-vanilla-cream-cheese-spread/
I use both brown sugar and molasses in it. I don’t know if you use either of those sweeteners, though!
On other thickeners/binders: I like both xanthan gum and guar gum. Guar gum is a lot less expensive than xanthan.

Thanks, Karen! I do use molasses, but not brown sugar. I could do a sub for that, easily! Thanks! I appreciate the tip on the binders. I’ll be at a store tomorrow and hoping they have one or the other.

Wardeh – Wow. Does such a recipe exist??? We’re gluten-free, and newly dairy-free… but egg-free? That’s tough. I make GFDF quick breads all the time, but they tend to be on the sweet side (like banana, or molasses-spice), and they do contain eggs. I’ve never tried a savory quick bread. Hmmm… I’ll keep it in mind, though!

Please do keep it in mind! Cooking without eggs is really not hard. 1 tablespoon flax seed meal plus 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, for each egg, is a great sub. But, without the gluten structure, I think I need more so I am going to try adding guar gum or xanthan gum to baked goods to see if that will help. I don’t have any yet though. If you run across a savory quick bread, would you consider passing the recipe along? I wouldn’t mind trying out your fave sweet quick breads, either. I can do the egg sub. Thanks.

Hi there!!

I’m another gluten-free Sonlight-homeschooling Christian blogger!! I found your blog via Southerngirl/Kiva.

I noticed that some of your recipes have kamut, which is not gluten-free. Are you g.f. for “simply” health reasons, or do one/some in your have celiac disease? (I have CD, as does my son #3; we’ve been GF for 4.5 years. I’m fairly certain that my almost 15mo daughter has CD, too. My hubby doesn’t, but he has noticed that he feels much healthier being GF.)

Blessings to you & your family,

-Karen

Hi, Karen! We are only recently gluten-free, so you’re noticing my old recipes. It is only my one daughter who needs to be gluten-free (although she doesn’t have celiac disease, she is just intolerant), but since my son and husband need to be wheat-free, I’m only cooking GF to simplify things. Do you have any GF and yeast-free bread recipes, for instance for a quick bread, that would work for sandwiches? It would also have to be egg-free and dairy-free.
