People often say that the great ingredient of baking bread<\/strong> is time. In these days of social isolation, time seems to be the one thing people have on their hands.<\/h2>\n

Since the beginning of quarantine, the one ingredient that seems to be disappearing from the supermarket shelves is the baker’s yeast. I think that even those who have never used yeast in their lives are making their own bread.<\/p>\n

Every day, we see as many photos of freshly baked homemade loaves of bread<\/strong>, as news about COVID-19. I wonder if we can call it the phenomenon “breademic”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Making bread became a challenge for me almost a decade ago when I knew I could no longer eat wheat flour. At the time I realized I had to make a clean cut from such foods. They were no longer a part of my diet and, to my great sorrow, bread had to be banned from my menu.<\/p>\n

But how could I stop eating something so delicious? Something that is not only tasty and nutritious but that for years has been the comfort food which I ate whenever I needed to take a break.<\/p>\n

Well, I started to try all the flours I could find. I bought the famous bread machine and soon realized that it was easier to make bricks with it than soft bread without using wheat flour!<\/p>\n

Believe me, 10 years ago, \u00a0searching for bread recipes without wheat flour that would taste as good was quite difficult and finding alternative flours, too.<\/p>\n
