In the Making: Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread Round 3

Ladies and gentlemen, I am giving up. This recipe is not working and I do not know what to do with it. So I think that I will have to do what I said I wouldn't do in the beginning: I am going to use a recipe. I was looking through Pinterest and I found a recipe for gluten free Irish soda bread, so I am going to try out this recipe and see if it works. If it does work, then I will post pictures and the recipe here on my blog with links to the original site.

My Attempts


Before baking (my loaves usually look alright)
Well, I first wanted to start making this after helping Mama Ramey make Irish soda bread at a St. Paddy's day party. Her recipe was simple, just flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk; so I assumed that I could take that recipe, use a 1-1 gluten free blend and make it work. However, all of my attempts have turned out really dense and under-baked. I have tried all of the fixes that I could think of but nothing is seeming to work.

Conclusions


While I have not given up on trying to perfect a loaf of gluten free Irish soda bread, I have given up
After baking usually looks alright too
on trying to use this recipe. I just don't think that it will work with gluten free bread. For those who are curious as to what recipe I am using I will provide it at the end (just know that it hasn't worked for me but if you want to try it you are more than welcome to it. And if you make it work please let me know what your methods are). Anyways, I will try the recipe that I found on Pinterest and I will keep you posted on how it turns out. I will also probably have my friend Lacey come over and help me with it since she is a baker and I can use all the help I can get. But in the mean time I am going to take a break from bread and try a dessert.
The troubles start when you cut into it and the inside is raw

New Recipe

I probably won't be doing a baking post this next week since I am supposed to be doing a post chosen by one of you faithful readers. However, the week after next, Jared will be visiting and he he can be my guinea pig and try out what I make. The plan is to make some brownies. Now these are not your ordinary run-of-the-mill brownies, no sir. I am going to make some of my world famous box mix brownies. Now, my recipe for these changes quite a bit depending on the mood I am in and what I am craving (also what might go well in a brownie). This time I think I will make Chocolate and Espresso Lovers Brownies, I am going to make the brownies as usual but I am going to add some instant coffee mix into the water that you add into the brownies. So we shall see what happens with those. Maybe, if I am feeling adventurous I will buy another box and make even more brownies.

Irish Soda Bread Recipe (failure)


3 cps gluten free flour
2 cps buttermilk
pinch of salt
tsp of sugar
3/4 tsp xantham gum
3/4 tbs baking soda

It is a work in progress but I am determined! So stay tuned!! Never give up, never surrender!

Ramey Road Trip Day 6: First Family Visit

Image
Today was another day of just driving goodness. There were no side stops planned since we were trying to get to where we were staying for the night so the Rameys could spend some time with their relatives. So mostly we drove….. Jared and I watched a lot of Game of Thrones (we are currently in the middle of season five) and made pit stops every once in a while. The main highlight of the trip was that we crossed the Missouri River. That was pretty neat, there was a rest stop on the other side of the river that had a small Lewis and Clarke museum and an overlook where you could go and see the bridges across the river. Then guess what happened next?? More driving…… We drove for a couple of hours more until we got to the next cool thing. This time we were crossing the Mississippi River! We went to another rest area for lunch and hiked down a trail to the lookout spot where you could see part of the river. After lunch it was back to driving. We drove and drove and drove unti...

Ramey Road Trip Day 24-25: The Long Trip Home

Image
Good morning everyone! Here is another two-for-one special! Remember the flat tire incident from the other day? Well yesterday we had to go get it taken care of. Mama Ramey woke Jared and I up so that we could move and they could drive to the local Les Schwab to get it fixed up. While the mechanics were working on the car all of the kids slept and the parents went to Denny's to get some breakfast. With breakfast consumed and tires fixed, we set back out on the road. The whole day was pretty much spent driving with very few pit stops. Though we did stop at a bridge where Evil Kenevil did one of his stunts and watched some people base jump. Then we just drove until we got to our campground which was in Oregon this time. Once we got there Jared, CC, and I went swimming for a bit before we all got out to go and eat dinner. Then Jared and I went to the arcade to play some games (there were some really old games) until it closed and we went back to sit around the fire. We both hung o...

Ramey Road Trip Day 21: Desert Days

Image
Today started very early for some reason. Mama Ramey wanted to get up and go right away so she got us up out of our bed and had us move to the big bed so that they could start driving. We didn't officially wake up until like 9:30.  So we pretty much drove a lot today. We had two scheduled stops but that was it. The first was to Four Corners. For those who don't know, Four Corners is basically a place where you can stand in four states at once: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. So we stopped for a bit and took our pictures, there were also a bunch of vendors set up around the patio area selling different wares so we looked around for a bit. Then we headed back to the RV so we could eat lunch, everybody except Austin and I had Indian tacos which are tacos on top of fry bread. I had a chicken salad sandwich and I am pretty sure Austin just had chips.  Then we set off so we could get to our next stop. This time we were going to a place called Mesa Verde National Park...
