tips:

i over heated the oven a bit because I was making mini-cupcakes and was in a hurry. I knew i’ dbe opening it a lot as each set were poured or ready.

don’t over work the batter. beat by hand just enough to get each addition mixed. the order i choose starts very thick and hard to mix, but avoid lumps.

I had an odd dream about kneeding bread one handed while holding down a conversation. i suspect my arm had fallen asleep IRL, but I woke up thinking about how much energy i spend running to specialty shops for glutenfree breads. i know now they are especially worth it and appreciate the good work they do all that much more. still i will try to make more at home. it is fun.

first tweet of the day was in hopes to find a breadmchine i could play with. within the hour i had one.

i started with a recipe at glutenfreegoddess. it seemed they had the most page ranks and relavent experience with bread machines. i deviated a lot.

i used (very approximatedly):

1tsp salt

1 packet of yeast

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 tbl xanthan gum

 2 eggs (or 1 tbl egg replacer and 4 tbl water)

 1 1/4 cup 115degree water

 2 tbl extra virgin olive oil

 1/2 tbl apple cider vinegar

 1 tbl sugar
