I have a friend who wanted to go off sugar! Well, my GF White bread has a 1/4 cup of sugar in it! So I experimented today and made bread with Agave instead of sugar! Agave and Stevia are both natural sugars (not to be confused with sugar free sweeteners that are harmful!! - you know who you are!!) that are safe and don't raise your glycemic index. And you can get Agave at Costco now!! Yeah!!
So to make this bread, use the GF white bread recipe with these changes
To dry ingredients add an extra 1/2 cup of gf flour mix
To wet ingredients add 2 Tbs Agave
Everything else is just the same!!

Something that also makes a big difference is ground ginger. I use a 1/2 tsp of ground ginger in addition to, or instead of any sugar. It feeds the yeast better than sugar does, doesn't create the glycemic spike that bread is so famous for, and is so good for you. Note: if you eliminate the sugar completely, reduce the salt so it doesn't taste salty. :-)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that if you eliminate the sugar, your bread will bake up "blonde;" it doesn't really brown. You can brush the top of the bread with a small amount of olive oil before baking to help it bake a bit more golden though.
