Bob’s Red Mill GF Cinnamon Raisin Bread Mix
Isn’t that a pretty loaf? Man, did this smell fantastic while it was baking! We followed the
“baking instructions by hand” exactly on the package, not altering a thing. It was nice that
all that was needed to make the loaf was oil, 2 eggs, and water. There are also bread
machine baking instructions (1 1/2 lb. loaf) for you technologically advanced bakers.
The texture was a bit drier than my handmade recipes, but my bread recipes are much more
complicated with many more ingredients. I did think it was lighter and moister than any gluten and dairy free loaf that you can buy frozen. I also think that you do get more bread for your money compared to frozen and other gluten free bread mixes. It was not too sweet at all, relying on the Whole Grain Sorghum Flour, raisins and molasses powder for sweetness. (Isn’t it nice to see “whole grain” on a gluten free product?) The raisins were nice and plump, with a nice amount included to balance the bread. If you are a novice baker, the instructions are very clear and the results are definitely worth the small amount of effort. All that, and your house smells good, too!
I think that you could take this mix and put it into oiled muffin cups, make a brown sugar/cinnamon topping, sprinkle that on the dough and you would have a fun little breakfast bun. If you swirled that topping into the dough, you could drizzle a bit of icing on it and call it a cinnamon bun. I might have to pick up another mix and try that out. Or maybe use it as a hot cross bun stand in? Hmm…I have some experiments to do!
