Dehydrator Buckwheat Flakes

Diane on FB shared this with me. http://mitochondrialdepletionsyndrome.blogspot.com/2013/02/cold-cereal-flakes-buckwheatcoconut-and.html?m=1

 

Of course I had to alter the recipe for myself. 

3/4 cup buckwheat flour

3/4 cup King Arthur unbleached white wheat flour

1/4 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup apple sauce

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup Lakewood organic apple juice

Diane said the thinner you spread the better 

the flake so I thinned the batter a bit more 

with the apple juice. Spread in 5 fruit leather 

trays.  Cooking on highest heat.  I'll post the 

results later.  

Bread

I'm making bread with King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour. (Can be corntaminated). Oster bread maker.
Recipe:
1 1/2 water
2 heaping Daisy Sour Cream
2 Tb sugar
1 tsp salt
4 cups flour
1/2 cup ground flax seed
Make a well add 1 pkg envelope red star yeast

Set bread maker on dough. (Today I also set it to be finish after I got home). After the dough cycle give it another 30 minutes or so to re-rise. Gently pressb stop once to stop the dough cycle. Choose the bake cycle and press start. Beautiful baked bread!

If u accidentally restart the dough cycle. I've done this several times! Let the machine mix back into a round for a few minutes or model manually. Stop the dough cycle. Let the bread rise and then choose the bake cycle.

Corn Free Baking Powder

There is corn starch in traditional baking powder, and beside I think they charge to much.  Here's my recipe.

I use Arm & Hammer baking soda. When I was first starting with this I used vinegar as my acid. I am now using Mc Cormick or Frontier cream of tartar. 1 tsp baking powder is basically 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. If you are using vinegar instead add about 1 teaspoon and just stir in at the end of the recipe. I found I needed to add a bit of sugar to counter the vinegar.

Drying Celery

I grew celery for the first time. I dehydrated it. Chop off white bottoms. Cut into 6 inch pieces. Blanch 1 minute. Chop into 1/4 inch pieces. Dry between 115 - 135. I dried the leaves not blanched. I read a suggestion to just freeze the leaves, but they were really big, so I dried them.

My first tree squirrel first shot to the head! I guarantee it's corn free!
