Vector-like GF cereal?

jennjenn414 — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:17:50 +0000

Does anyone know of a meal-replacement-type cereal similar to Vector? I am a long-distance runner and triathlete, and I haven’t been able to find a suitable substitute to Vector. The cereals I have been able to find are basically just glorified Corn Flakes, so that’s not enough to sustain me for long runs/training sessions. Thanks! :)

Japanese Milk Bread

How long do you let the Japanese milk bread rise and at what temperature? When you say 150%, do you mean doubled in bulk plus another 50%? I let it rise about an hour and twenty minutes @ between 87 and 90 degrees. It is moist, but not wet and doesn’t appear to be as light as your pictures make it look. It is very good and not at all unpleasant texturally I just wondered if I’d let it rise enough or if my pan was just too big. The pieces of dough were very loose before I set it to proof. I used a 9 x 5 inch pan. It is not as high as yours. This is the first GF bread I have tried, other than quick breads and while I am an experienced baker of wheat products this is a whole new game.

Sugar Cookies – Can you freeze a log?

Lisa F — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:14:33 +0000

Hi!-
I am loving having a frozen log of chocolate chip cookies in my freezer, ready to slice/bake for fresh cookies in 10 minutes… Can I also do this with sugar cookies? I wasn\’t sure if they needed to be rolled out or if I can roll them into a big log like the chocolate chip cookies and slice and bake the same way right from the freezer.
Thanks!
Lisa

Substitute sour cream?

Many of your muffin and cake recipies use sour cream. Has anyone found a good dairy- and soy- free substitution for the sour cream? I use coconut oil or DF SF margarine for the butter, and almond milk for the milk

I just made the chocolate chip cookies from your cookbook and they are FABULOUS! I also turned your pecan shortbread recipie into the basis for lemon bars… wow, they were incredibly rich and irresistable. Thank you!

My favorite GF flour mixture for cake/cookies/muffins: 2 parts oat flour, 1 part almond flour, 1 part rice flour, with some flax meal thrown in too. It browns and crisps up nicely! I know many gluten-sensitive people cannot tolerate oats, but luckily my son can.

Trying not to starve or get sick on drill weekends

Horseangel54 — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 23:42:27 +0000

I am in the Army National Guard and need to bring food I can eat to drill weekends. I do not have any access to a refrigerator and I will be gone three days. I live too far away from my unit to drive home. Any suggestions on anything I could make/buy to bring? Breakfast is a protein shake, but lunch and staying full from 7am to at least 6pm is an issue. Thanks:-)

Cinnamon Raisin Bread recipe on BB

suzannea — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:33:14 +0000

Nicole, Let me know if I’m asking too much. :) I have a few questions about a BB Cinnamon Bread recipe. Would you give me your best estimate? 1. how much sugar to add with the yeast and water? the 1/4 cup powdered sugar goes in with the flour. 2. what temperature for the yeast-sugar-water? 3. is butter, margarine or shortening best to use in bread? 4. in streusal, which is best-butter or coconut oil? 5. when rolling the dough into a spiral, is this diagonally? THANK YOU!!!
