Disclaimer: This is not my sandwich. The new camera should be arriving this week. I'm very excited about that.
Just rest assured the bread looks this good.
This week for Whip It Up (week 3!), we attempted the delicious. And this is the first week that delicious did not involve oranges, like my previous Orange Bars and Orange Creme Cupcakes. Mmmm... guilty pleasures.
Let's be straight - we don't really bother with bread around here. I'll make corn muffins, and we almost always have a "treat bread" around, like zucchini muffins or peanut butter bars. But, the boy had been asking for grilled cheese sandwiches for several weeks. That requires bread.
I have stumbled over Natalie's recipe for Gluten Free Millet Oatmeal bread over and over again. Natalie goes after whole grains in her bread, and that's what I wanted. No more white rice flour (it's just not worth it to me...) I think I had avoided making the delicious because I was out of flax seed for a while.
Short answer, this bread was delicious. We made two smaller loaves, and this was only a few days ago. We're now cleaning up the last slices of the second loaf. The other night we made some delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, which we ate with pizza soup.
The boy raved about it. Some friends of his stopped by (the same one who loved the Orange Creme Cupcake from last week), and he sliced them some too. So, two other men also tried these slices, firm enough to hold in the hand, and thought it was very tasty. I particularly like the buttery taste that nicely blankets the whole-grainy taste. It also toasted beautifully, wasn't gummy or crumbly, and had a nice texture.
Whip It Up:
The recipe was easy to follow. Bread making is complicated, but Natalie spelled everything out well.
Tasty: quite. Now I think I'm obligated to bake it more often.
Make it again: See above.

That does look really good. Unfortuantely, I can't eat millet, oats, or flax. Pooh. So it's rice flour for me. Although I am wanting to get some sorghum - that sounds yummy.
Yes, sorghum is very delicious - it's definitely worth it.
