Discussion Fiber

How do yall get your daily fiber since we don’t eat wheat anymore? what are your fav go to everyday or weekly staples? I feel like we are very protein heavy as a culture but not fiber heavy.

Psyllium is the binder in my favorite homemade GF bread

Can you share that recipe? I need a good one I can make at home.

My favorite bread is "Sandwich Loaf," from the cookbook by Aran Goyoaga titled, "Cannelle et Vanille BAKES SIMPLE."

It uses ground millet flour (which I buy whole & grind in my coffee grinder), or you can use sorghum flour. It also uses superfine brown rice flour and tapioca starch (or can substitute corn starch).

It also uses ground psyllium husk fiber (which you can buy an organic version at Amazon), as well as ground flax seed (which I also grind in my coffee grinder.)

The leavener is active yeast.

You can also add any seeds or craisins type adds that you happen to like.

Because it has all these specialized ingredients, I make my own batches of mixes ready to bake anytime.

I measure and mix the 2 flours, the starch and salt and place into ziplock bags, and then also in a tiny bag mix the ground psyllium husk & ground flaxseeds keep in these kits freezer.

I do this because it ensures I have most of the ingredients, and it makes the final steps a breeze.

This recipe is so delicious and versatile, it is worth the effort to master it.

The only thing I found difficult as a novice was to learn that the psyllium must be added to your liquids as you are vigorously whisking, so it doesn't clump like crazy. I now use the whisk attachment on my mixer.
