When I finally learn to can, I think the first thing I will make will be the apple pie jam (and the blueberry Jessy sent me). It sounds so good. Those mats are great. I noticed it in the KA catalog too. What a good idea for baking with kids. I always move the cookies when the kids aren't looking too! And that book is perfect for a busy mom - with such an adorable baby.

Teri, it was the bread mix, the package says it makes batgels, pizza and pie crust too. Also has directions for cheese bread, whole "wheat", three seed bread, cinnamon bread and herb bread. The ingredient list says: Sorghum Flour, Tapioca Flour, White Rice Flour, sweet rice flour, brown rice flour, organic evaporated cane sugar, chicory root, millet flour, molasses, rice bran, sea salt, xanthan gum and yeast packets. So, it appears to be a gluten free flour mixture, although it does contain salt and molasses in addition to the flours. It has enough ingredients to make 6 loaves, I think, in the package. I didn't use the yeast packet because I didn't realize they was in there until I'd already measured in my own. LOL. LC46, I don't see any reason why your basic GF bread dough wouldn't make bagels, the directions for "egg free" bread are basically the same as the directions for bagels, except they get boiled for 25 seconds, then drained with a slotted spoon and baked on a greased baking sheet. Be sure to let us know how they turn out, because when I run out of this stuff, I'll probably buy something else, Elery got this on-line, I think from Amazon. Thank you David, I'll tell Ashley you said she's cute. (grin) Ann T, Cooper is smart and friendly and handsome, but what in the world did you do about all that hair? It's everywhere and I brush him every day. Annie

Thanks for the suggestion Ann. Will certainly be making more than one the next time around. Nice to know these pies freeze well. We do meals for people at church and sometimes it difficult to think of a meal for one. I did freeze a few single slices to see how this would work. The taste of the meat pie reminded of the flavors that are in a Dutch Saucijsjes (aka Dutch Pig in the Blanket). Pig in the blankets are what we had for Christmas Eve in our Dutch family. The Dutch Saucijsjes (aka Dutch Pig in the Blanket) also freeze well. Here is a link that might be useful: Dutch Saucijsjes (aka Dutch Pig in the Blanket)

Sleevendog, no it is a different recipe. I use chickpeas, not chickpea flour. A google search using Thibeault's Table will bring up all the recipes I've posted to the blog. Was the naan baked on your wood stove? I love Naan bread, but I'm always a little disappointed in homemade Naan. Never quite tastes the same as naan baked in a tandoori oven. Chickpea Flatbread Source: Souvlaki for the Soul 1 cup of all-purpose flour 1 cup of wholewheat flour 1/2 of a 540mL/18oz can of chickpeas (garbanzos) along with some of the liquid from the can 1/2 to 3/4 a cup of warm water 1/4 cup of olive oil 1 teaspoon of cumin 1 teaspoon of turmeric 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (Omitted) 1/2 a teaspoon of salt Edited: Note: This recipe can be cut in half, by leaving out the Wholewheat flour and using just one cup of all-purpose flour, and reducing other ingredients by half. Place the flour and spices in the bowl of a food processor. Add the chickpeas and some of their juice from the can, the olive oil along with some of the warm water. Process until the dough comes together and a ball forms. The dough should be soft. Add more water if necessary. Process for approximately 60 seconds. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and set a side to rest for at least 30 minutes. Divide dough into balls about the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball into a circle approximately 6 to 8 inches. Cook the on a cast iron griddle or skillet. When the bread starts to get little brown spots and puff up ( 15 to 20 seconds), turn over and cook on the other side. Wrap in a towel or a tortilla warmer to keep warm while remaining flatbreads are baked. Here is a link that might be useful: Link
