In view of it being gluten free AND cooked in the slow cooker............................ it looks alright

Do you think you do it again in the van?

@chockswahay

I think I may well do so..... or at least take the mix with me so that I am not in a panic if the area we are in is not coeliac aware. We had to make tracks out of the Shropshire / Hay-on-Wye area as there was so little food available for me - both in restaurants and in food shops. Lots of wholemeal and healthy food outlets but that's not the same as i had to explain over and over

I am also going to experiment with other flour mixes.

It tastes okay. A bit like crumpets! Gluten free bread rarely browns well so I was pleased with the crusty type bit on the sides.

That doesn't look "yuck" at all

I've put the dough that was in the fridge into the slow cooker, after leaving at room temperature for a couple of hours. It doesn't look like it has risen much, if at all though

Mind I have made the Christmas cake and some cupcakes which I will decorate tomorrow and take to the village pre-Christmas party.

I just found out that the little girl next door (who has learning difficulties) calls me Mrs Cupcake Witch because at Halloween I make cupcakes for the guisers and wear a witch hat when I answer the door!

Well here is the photo of the second "loaf". A much lighter texture.

Now I know it works and is edible I will be trying different flour mixes.

I got a kindle book with low-carb gf bread recipes but it is American and the ingredients aren't cheaply available here

One of the recipes calls for coconut flour - I looked at the Holland and Barrett website where it says cocnut flour is gluten-free and then says that their offering may be contaminated with gluten. That's a no then.

I checked to see if I could just grind up desiccated coconut and substitute that for the flour but apparently not as coconut flour is the ground up remains of the coconut after the milk and fat has been extracted. Desiccated coconut still contains too much fat to enable grinding.

Almond flour I can use ground almonds although they are a bit coarse (I suppose they must tell rude jokes ).

Well @Puddleduck I originally posted this thread as a bit of a 'giggle' ............. however it looks as if between us we may have stumbled across an effective way to make GF bread rise

Well done
