A crisp is usually made with flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. A crisp has a crumbly topping. Cobbler got its name because the biscuit dough is usually dropped in pieces, creating a cobblestone affect. Meanwhile, enjoy this gluten free peach crisp.

This gluten free anadama bread recipe is a variation of the Anadama bread made years ago in Massachusetts. It was a corn meal and wheat-based bread lightly sweetened with molasses. Though it existed prior to the 1840s, a baker used to deliver the bread to households in in the late 1800s in Massachusetts. It was later baked by a restaurant owner until 1956, and then by a bakery on Cape Ann in Massachusetts until 1970. Other bakeries offered anadama bread for several years later, however, it eventually lost its popularity. This gluten free anadama bread is similar, but uses rice flour instead of wheat. If you are intolerant to rice flour, you may substitute it with sorghum flour. This bread makes a wonderful breakfast bread as it tastes a bit like an English muffin.

If you like a little crunch and a nutty flavor in your gluten free whole grain bread, this recipe for toasted hemp seeds will be a perfect fit for you.

Other seeds such as sesame seeds don’t need to be toasted. You can use toasted hemp seeds not only on the tops of your bread, but inside, as well. Now, get to baking some gluten free bread!
The different types of seeds to use in your gluten free bread include hemp, flax, poppy, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin. Continue reading “Toasted Hemp Seeds Recipe for Bread and Salads”
