Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Alyssa.. I think one of the reasons deprivation comes up for people on diets are these claims like " tastes like white bread " or like what they do to vegetarians " mock hamburger " etc.. Expectations occur and ultimately I get disappointed. Totally will let you know how it turns out. I am going to try it with Bob's Redmill Coconut flour as DW's isn't silky- it's like finer shreds. Not the texture I want. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Expectations occur and ultimately I get disappointed I second that, Jodi, But this time the bread is really " breadish " (what a non-word, hum).I made it 2 hours ago and now my husband will have dinner whit it. I took a small bite (really small it's not for me yet) and might say that if I can tolerate all the stuff in it soon this is more like regular bread for me than nut bake goods. However, I think that the oil ( I used coconut) is too much, next time I'll try with less. I used less salt and honey, 1/2 Tbs.Oh, and I used 1/4 tsp baking soda.So, the results are very good and I can encourage anyone who can tolerate coconut flour to try it. It's definitely promising ingredient. Yana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Ooh, looks very interesting. Not sure if my son is quite up to coconut flour, although nothing has seemed to bother him at all yet. I think I'll try making this when he's gone and see how it is. I'm still looking for a tried and true dairy free recipe for sandwich bread. Liz > Thought to share this recipe here..

It's definitely promising ingredient. I used ghee and a smidge of coconut oil. I omitted the honey (candida trigger for me) and added vanilla extract and vanilla beans. Next time I plan to use some finely grated lemon rind! Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Jodi, I don't know about Digestive Wellness coconut flour and sulfites but I ordered Tropical Traditions b/c it DIDN'T have any, since I have eliminated them for my son. Keep the coconut flour recipes coming, folks...I am thrilled. I am about to try coconut flour instead of nut with my 7 year old. He didn't have obvious digestion problems with nuts, instead he had significant behavior issues, culminating in some angry episodes at school, quite out of character for him. I pulled the nut flours/butters and voila, happy boy again! I am hoping he is just intolerant of nuts and could tolerate coconut flour because life without muffins and bread for him is a bummer. I wouldn't have thought to try it until a few of you mentioned that you reacted to nut flours but not to the coconut. Here's to hoping...

Are you sure it was that? It was a very dry day today with a wind - and the weather is changing which always brings on some skin changes/reaction - and I got a sinus headache in the late afternoonI believe from wind and allergens in the air. It stayed through the tylenol but went away after I spritzed it with my saline mint nostril spray (which I love because mint! in your nose! and it's really effective).

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Chrissy, I just ordered 'Cooking with Coconut Flour" by Bruce Fife based on all discussions here and I will be ordering flour from Tropical Traditions as well. If I find any good muffin recipes, I'll post. I have never loved the nut flour baked goods and limit what I make.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009  Mara, What are you using for coconut milk, please? Terry Re: Re: coconut bread Speaking of coconut - this time coconut milk custard: I made this last night - dairy free and scrumptious - I felt like I could have snarfed the whole thing - and the others (non SCDers) liked it too. And took seconds. And since it is very egg heavy-it could be a protein breakfast, Chrissy -- because it is custard - not egg. http://flog.cookingforceliacscolitiscrohnsandibs.com/category/coconut-milk/ Peach Custard Serves 4 500 ml (2 cups) Coconut Milk5 eggs – whisked100 g (¹â„³ cup) honey1 tsp vanilla essence200 g (1 cup) peaches – peeled and sliced Pre-heat oven to 150ºC/302 F – baking time 45 minute Combine the coconut milk, eggs, honey and vanilla essence in a medium size pot and heat, whisking constantly. Do not boil. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat and pour into 4 ramekins. Evenly distribute the sliced peaches amongst the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a heatproof dish filled with water, reaching half way up the remekins. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until the tops start to feel firm. Remove from the oven and place the custards into the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving. Serve decorated with strawberries or some extra peach slices.
