Wheat-Gluten Free - Sweet Rice Bread Recipe extracted from the group's folder - Help Please +++

May 22, 2006

Folks,

I attempted to make this bread yesterday with my daughter, Jo-Ling. We sub

3/4 cup as 8 Oz, 1/3 Cup as 3 Oz & 1/2 cup as 4 Oz. We did find that the

mixture was rather dry, so we added an extra banana, since our banana used

was medium size. When it was ready, we had what looks like a " crumble " :-(

The Crumble was so hard.

We smashed it up, made a pretty paper bag and eat it as " sweets " , lol :-)

Now, we are curious, where did we go wrong? :-(((

Best Wishes,

Wee

Hi Wee

Sorry to hear about your sweet rice bread disaster. I think that

part of your problem is that a cup is a measure of volume rather

than of weight. So a cup of flour will weigh different from a cup

of, say, butter. I haven't tried that particular recipe myself. You

need to use a conversion link to convert each of the different items

into weight measurements - I think you will find a link to one in

the links folder. I saw that Lakeland and John Lewis now sell cup

measures which might be an easier option to conversion, although I

find I've now got accustomed to the precision of grams and mils. I

have a rather good chart which I must have found online somewhere

which gives metric and imperial weight measurement equivalents for a

large number of items. I could email that to you if it would help.

Here's a good place for conversions:

Dear Christie,

I just got in from a whole day's work at the hospital.

Mind, I had to drop in on an old lady to see to her TV/VCR combo on the way

home.

She was hallucinating that she saw horizontal lines on the telly.

On arrival, I saw nothing and told her daughter, Marian to ring me on

Saturday at 11am.

I will then dash over to install my loaner and bring hers back here to

service.

It's so kind of you to offer me the conversion chart.

Yes please, I could use one right now :-)

Please email it to me, Thanks :-)_

Do you think I could leave out the dry fruits on this recipe?

Is it a good idea?

I don't particularly like eating dry fruits :-(

I prefer bread that feels like bread and not this one-inch high bread.

If I add Bicarbonate Soda, will I get the bread to rise more.

What about adding more yeast and letting it rise in a warm place first ??

I like to have your opinion.

Best Wishes,

Wee
