Bread Machine Gluten Free Bread

Bread Machine Gluten Free Bread recipe, eat well on universal credit

We just followed the basic GF recipe for our first loaf. But we can both confirm:-

(1) This actually tastes as good as ‘Real’ Bread.
(2) It is outstanding a fried Bread on a full English Breakfast.

Ingredients:-

180g of Water
30g of Olive Oil
5g of Cider Vinegar
15g of Egg Whites
8g of Salt
30g of Sugar
300g of Gluten Free Bread Flour Mix
2g of Baking Powder
7g of Yeast

In our Bread Maker it’s setting ‘9’, clearly this will depend on the machine. Although these machines still clearly use the Chorleywood bread process, this loaf was a near to a Gluten containing loaf from a bakery as we’ve had in the last 5 years. It makes the grey flavourless sliced version from the supermarkets seem a shameful waste of money.

On another note. The machine should have been £99.95 but was reduced to £60. Which we felt was a pretty good price. However there was a pricing error and it actually only cost £40. We’re on our second loaf as I type. Our new toy will have paid it’s way in less than a month at this rate!!!!

Dry Cured Bacon recipe, eat well on universal credit

I chose Pork Loin for this as the belly Pork available at the moment is very fatty and doesn’t look overly appealing. So the end result will be Back Bacon. You need to be pretty precise when using Saltpetre so I reduced to weight to almost exactly 1Kg by taking the rind off and cutting a couple of steaks from one end so that we’ll be able to cut even rasters when it has cured.

Rub ingredients:-

22.5g of Pink Salt
22.5g of Sugar
2G of Saltpetre
1 Tsp of Smoked Paprika
1 Tsp of mixed Herbs
1 Tsp of fresh ground Black Pepper.

Method:-

(1) Trim the Pork Loin to as near to 1Kg as possible.
(2) Mix the rub ingredients in a bowl.
(3) Apply the rub evenly over the entire surface.
(4) Place in a tub in the fridge loosely covered.
(5) Turn daily for 3 weeks.

As the meat cures it will loose about 10% of the water content. This accumulates in the tub and will naturally evaporate in the fridge.

See you all in 3 weeks, hopefully with some outstanding Bacon!
