I know, I know- you’ve been asking for this recipe for a few weeks! I’m sorry it took me so long to share this one- truthfully, I wasn’t 100% happy with how the batches were turning out.
After some tweaking, I am happy to report that this loaf is now as delicious as it looks!
Moving to Nicaragua has taught me a lot. There are SO many things that are different here than home that I had to get used too, and the fact that gluten-free bread wasn’t a thing was one of them.
I’m a huge fan of carbohydrates and bread is secretly one of my guilty pleasures. Before we left home I had a list of my favourite breads, buns, wraps, etc- and these were regular staples in my meals.
Coming here and not having that was super hard at first. I constantly felt hungry and struggled to find things to make. Eventually, when I stumbled across some awesome gluten-free flours, I accepted the fact that being here was like stepping back in time where convenience just didn’t exist yet.
Therefore, it was time to roll up my sleeves and start making my own bread again from scratch.
My grandma was thrilled when she learned that this was what it was like here, and she sent me a whole list of tips for everything from washing my laundry by hand to yes, making my own bread.
Although my style of cooking definitely varies from my grandmas, her suggestions were incredibly sweet and in a way, it did make me more grateful for the opportunity to bake my own bread from scratch.
Now I’ve been playing around with the recipe and worked through quite a few hiccups, and this recipe is finally one that I am happy with.
