Baking with flavour flours--oat flour, sorghum flour, teff, coconut
flour, and nut flours, like almond and hazelnut--adds a new
dimension to dessert recipes. Rather than simply adding starch and
structure to a dessert (as is the case with wheat flour), these
flours elevate the taste of the dessert as well. The recipes
incorporate the most popular alternative flours available on the
market today and use them in interesting ways, both alone and in
combination. Gluten-free bakers will find a whole new range of
baking options at their fingertips. Chapters are organized by
flour, each one highlighting the best recipes that flour can be
used for--be it muffins, tarts, and scones made with sorghum flour;
cakes, cookies, and crumbles made with oat flour; or chocolatey
desserts made with teff. The chapter opener text highlights useful
information for each flour: the taste, its flavor affinities, and
how it's best used, stored, and more. With 125 accessible and
delicious recipes, including Double Oat Cookies, Buckwheat
Gingerbread, Chocolate Chestnut Souffle Cake, Blueberry Corn Flour
Cobbler, and Coconut Key Lime Tart, living gluten-free has never
been tastier.
When life gets challenging, simple pleasures and timeless traditions can help us manage. Bread Therapy is a love letter to the art of making real bread.
Making our own bread provides us with an unhurried, creative activity that is joyful, calming and productive – providing a much-needed antidote to life’s stresses and strains. From kneading dough, to taking a delicious-smelling freshly baked loaf out of a hot oven, bread-making can be a mindful experience and a therapeutic craft that can nurture and nourish us. As yeast transforms flour and water, so making bread can transform us and our lives.
As we seek ‘slow skills’ to free us from the digital world we are inhabiting more and more, and mindful activity to help us manage our mental wellbeing, so bread-making is experiencing a renaissance. This book will guide you through the art of bread making, with insight into the benefits of this ancient craft which will nourish mind and body. It celebrates bread making as a way of understanding ourselves better, learning important life lessons and making positive changes to our mental and physical wellbeing. It features eight simple bread recipes to get you started on your bread-making journey.
Pauline Beaumont is a passionate bread baker, mother of six and counsellor who believes fervently in the power of bread-making to aid our emotional and psychological wellbeing.
