Hello wonderful employees of Virtasalmen Viljatuote! I have often made all kinds of pastries with your products, and the results have always been excellent. Now I made a gluten-free Christmas bread for myself for Christmas. I measured the ingredients carefully as I always do. The dough was surprisingly loose! I added more flour to the dough so that I could roll the dough into loaves on a floured workbench. What did I do wrong? A very Merry Christmas from Helena from Hämeenlinna
Hi Helena!
What a strange and annoying problem! Surely you remembered to add the teff flour and the all-purpose flour mix? That's 6 dl of flour and 2 tsp of psyllium.
I've found that when I make the dough on the machine and knead it for a long time, it makes a better dough and the flour tends to swell.
The cereal recipe is the only decent bread I've ever made.
Thanks for the tip and your nice feedback Soile!
was psyllium missing from the instructions? How much to put 🙂
Hi Hannele,
Psyllium is written a bit long "Virtasalmen Viljatuote Gluten Free Psyllium". It comes in 2 teaspoons for a Christmas cookie 🙂 🙂
I made Christmas bread for the second time today, kneading the dough on the machine.
It went very well! Thanks for the recipe!
The first time I used 2 teaspoons of ground orange peel, I thought the bread tasted bitter. Now the second time I used only 1 teaspoon, I thought it was the right amount.
