Gluten-free bread: Healthy, with raw rice

I learned this recipe from social networks, but with personal touches.

Healthy bread, gluten-free, that is to say without flour, without semolina... ideal for people with celiac disease, or for those following a “healthy” diet.

For some – and who are becoming more and more numerous – large or small, gluten can cause inflammatory effects in the colon, leading to digestive disorders, bloating or abdominal discomfort. 

For this bread, we don't even have to have rice flour or grind it; let's see together:

Recipe:

Ingredients: for a 20 cm square mold:

·        200 g of raw rice (the cheapest);

·        170 ml of water;

·        60 ml of oil (olive or sunflower oil);

·        1 teaspoon (not too full) of baker's yeast;

·        1 teaspoon of sugar (or honey);

·        1 teaspoon of salt.

Preparation:

·     Put the rice in a bowl, cover with water and leave to soak for two (2) hours;

·     Drain, then put in a blender;

·     Add the water, oil, yeast, sugar then salt: mix everything until you obtain a smooth paste;

·     Pour into a mold lined with (sulfurized) baking paper;

·     Leave to rise for one (1) hour;

·     Bake in an oven preheated to 180° for forty (40) minutes: monitor cooking until you obtain a golden color;

·     Leave to cool on a rack before slicing.

Gluten is found in all cereals, as well as in rice, but, knowing that: gluten is divided into two groups: “prolamins” and “ glutenins  ”, and it is the first ( the prolamins ) which cause the “fury”; therefore the more prolamin there is in the cereal, the greater the risk of a reaction:

For example:

·        In wheat, there are 69%

However:

·        In rice, only 5%

There are several forms of prolamins, some of which are more “allowable” than others, and this is the case for rice and corn – too – and that is why most people with gluten intolerance can eat rice or corn

So, the pleasure of enjoying nutritious bread, with salty or even for toast (jam, peanut butter, chocolate, etc.), nevertheless, in moderation...

And enjoy  your  meal.
