Oh dear Lord. This is my attempt at gluten free bread after Julie had a very acceptable go recently. It is a Tesco affair involving both sugar, salt, lemon juice and some dark arts potion known as xanthan gum. The resulting amorphous mass resembled a rare fungal form of quivering beige. An hour later beige had become a golden brown brick. Oddly the top of the loaf had separated from the bottom leaving a sizable void under the crust. I think more practice is needed as I'm discovering gluten-free is not a simple alternative to gluten based baking. I wonder if it may be simpler to not just remove all bread from my diet anyway.
