Sweet Smoky Mapley (GF/Vegan) Bacony Bread...


OK,
This is now my favourite bread. Ever.

I am so proud because I MADE IT.

It tastes like sweet bacon, I think...it has layered flavours of maple and smoke and salt and aaaaaahhhhhhh. I could BATHE in this bread, it is so tasty.

Not only that, but it's really EASY! So easy my 2 year old helped me make it. He did half the work, really, and had a ton of fun.

OK so, preheat your oven to 200c. Right?

Now. In a biig ole bowl, like, biggest one you've got, stir together:

2 Cups All-purpose GF flour with xanthan (I mix my own out of teff, arrowroot, ect)
+ 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot
+ 1 HEAPING teaspoon of potato or tapioca starch - real gummy stuff - this is to act as an egg replacer.
A pinch of extra xanthan...just a pinch
1 teaspoon of SMOKED salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
& 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar (you can sub with another tsp of baking soda if you want, it might just rise a little differently.)
Aaaannd 1/8 teaspoon or so of cumin. Or a bit more if you want a stronger "bacon" taste.
Optional: 1/8 tsp Pure Vitamin C for leavening.

Now add:
3/4 Cups of either yoghurt or thick nondairy milk.
and, 1/4 Cup maple syrup.

Work it in with your hands. Knead the dough until thoroughly incorporated and form an oval loaf. Place on a lined bread pan and cut several deep indents in the bread to allow for even baking (about 3/4 deep).
Pop this guy in the oven and bake for 27-30 minutes.

Taa-daaaah!
