I hope to have some weight loss happening too as a result so I took my measurements. I have no intentions of putting them here!
To start today, I modified a socca bread recipe to make it sweet for brunch.
The normal recipe called for chickpea flour and various herbs. Since I am now doing my elimination diet, peas and beans are eliminated for the first week. I used brown rice flour instead. I added cinnamon and nutmeg for the sweetness.
The basic recipe calls for:
1 cup flour (chickpea or whatever flour you choose)
1 cup water
2 teaspoon olive oil
Seasonings of your choice (alternately you could saute some and put in batter.)
Sift the dry ingredients and whisk in the remaining.
Use a iron skillet or a deep dish pizza pan. Put it in the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. When oven reaches 450 degrees, take out the pan and swirl a little extra virgin olive oil in it. Pour the batter in and cook for 15-20 minutes. Flip the bread and cook on the other side for 5 minutes or so more. Note that the times are going to be totally dependent on the size of your pan. Keep an eye on it and determine what your cooking times will be. You don't have to flip the bread, but you may want to broil it for a few minutes at the end to brown the top some.
My bread was cut with a pizza cutter into 6 slices.
I topped mine with organic cashew butter and all natural blueberry jam. Yum!
I like it a lot! Hubby thought it was pretty good and daughter thought it was okay. I think mine would have been better to cook it a little longer, but I was afraid of it burning.
To drink, instead of my usual coffee and flavored creamer, I had Rooibos tea sweetened with Agave Nectar.
Dinner is in the crockpot, beef with organic tomato sauce, organic bay leaves, sea salt, garlic pepper and water. I am not sure how I will serve it, but it sure smells good!
I served the dinner over rice and it was good!
