Pumpkin/brown rice bread (for breadmachine)



OK so I made this bread in a bread machine and I have no clue if it would come out good with conventional method but if someone tries out please let me know!...
I came up with the recipe because I was out of applesauce but had pumpkin puree in my pantry so I transformed the recipe starting from there and made this new one. :-)

Ingredients:

* 4 eggs
* 3/4 cup rice milk
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 tsp cider vinegar
* 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
* 2 Tbsp GF molasses
* 1/2 cup cooked (and cooled down) brown rice
* 2 Tbsp canola Oil
* 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour
* 1/2 cup GF oat flour (if you are sensitive to oat replace with brown rice flour)
* 1/2 cup potato starch
* 1/2 cup tapioca starch
* 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
* 1 tsp salt
* 2 tsp xanthan gum
* 2 1/2 tsp yeast
* 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spices

Directions:

Add ingredients in the breadmachine, following manufacturer directions, (usually starting with liquids and finishing with the yeast on top).
Bake on a classic cycle.

(when I came in the kitchen this morning my 3 1/2 years old had dug a little crater into the bread, I'll take that as a seal of approval... ;-))

Cocoa Bread

Ingredients:

- 3/4 cup eggs (about 4 large eggs)
- 3/4 cup milk alternative (soy, rice, potato...)
- 1 tsp vinegar (I use lemon juice instead)
- 1/4 cup CF margarine or oil (palm oil or light olive oil)
- 1 1/2 cups white rice flour
- 1/2 brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/2 cup corn starch (or arrowroot)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sugar, honey, or sugar alternative
- 3 Tsp cocoa powder
- 1Tsp Xanthan gum
- 2 1/2 tsp GF baker's yeast

You can add nuts of any kind (almonds are nice in this recipe) and/or replace the sugar with cherry preserve.
(I also sometimes replace some of the white rice flour with rice bran for added protein and fiber.)

Directions:

Mix the liquid ingredients first and add the dry ones, finishing with the yeast. 
Leave in a baking pan under a clean towel in a warm spot away from drafts till it has almost doubled in size. 
Bake for 60-70 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F.
I personally use this recipe in a bread machine. Just add the ingredients in the order listed by the manufacturer and bake on a regular cycle (preferably a GF cycle)
Or you can use the quick method  : Just add to the ingredients 1 tsp of baking soda and 1 Tsp of baking powder, just mix everything together and put directly in the preheated oven.
