Too hungry and sick to write anything witty...but here's what we did.

1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup sweet white rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch

1 tsp xanathan gum

3 tbsp white sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt (coarse grained)

1 egg

Milk, add to desired consistency (used just under 1 cup)

Made 6-8 medium pancakes

164 carbs for the entire recipe. You can substitude 1/4 c sorghum flour for either 1/4 c brown rice or sweet white rice flour, this drops the carbs to 150 per recipe.

Matt and Vin's Drunken Kitchen Adventures

Matt wanted to taste the gluten free flour, so he did. He was immediately grossed out. Vin tried some and said it tasted fine, just with a beany flavor. They compared it to regular flour and corn meal. Matt changed his mind, but liked cornmeal the best.

After telling them not to try the xanathan gum, they did. They are idiots. They will forever have a gummy gel stuck between their teeth

Thoughts:

The loaf came out really well. The crust was a bit dark for a medium setting but not overdone. The bread was pretty moist, held together fairly well in a sandwich, and tasted good. Didn't really get toasted in toaster oven.

How it all got started

Had a problem set to do. Got drunk with roommates to make it more fun. Opened bread machine. Matt suggested I start a blog. Vin heckled.
