20 min. Yeast-Free, Gluten-Free Italian Bread & Easy Mezzetta Olive Tapenade

Posted by
My favorite holiday memories are of having lots of family and friends over for big meals. I love doing the cooking, preparing holiday recipes, the noise and laughter in the house, and of course, eating the food. I've happily adapted most of my old recipes to gluten-free but I had one more challenge. I was missing crusty chewy   Italian bread that I could make into Crostini! I've always loved warm toasted chewy bites of Italian bread at holiday parties. Topped with Tapenade or made into Bruschetta, they are my favorite appetizers, but I hadn't quite found the right gluten-free flour blend to achieve that wonderful chewiness, until now! I'm so excited to share my NEW 20-minute Gluten-free, Yeast-free, Egg-Free, and Xanthan Gum-Free Italian Bread Rolls with you and did I say, they only take 20 minutes? No yeast, no rising and so easy to make. This amazing dough is also perfect patted out thin for flatbread or pizza crust. Scroll down to see my new Pizza crust u

Gluten Free Sunday Meatloaf Dinner

Posted by

Sunday evening and it's storming outside, so I made a cozy dinner for Hubby and put on a movie.  Meatloaf is perfect for a lazy Sunday, just mix it up and pop it in the oven.  Then watch your movie while the house fills with delicious aromas...

I pretty much toss in the ingredients after so many years of making this, but I'll try to estimate my amounts for you.
 I have a HUGE metal bowl to mix it all in.  Then I pop on my surgical gloves and mix it all together
Form your loaf in the bowl and place in a medium loaf pan.   I pour off the grease several times during cooking but be very careful.

Gluten Free Sunday Meatloaf Dinner

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2-2 cups gluten free bread or crackers, processed into crumbs 
  • 2 eggs, beaten with a fork in a small separate bowl
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 onion, minced

  • 5-6 potatoes, washed, peeled and chopped in quarters
  • Vegetables or salad
Instructions:

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  1. In your food processor make your crumbs
  2. I use the ends of my homemade bread, cut in cubes and processed in my mini food processor for a minute or two until it just turns to crumbs.
  3. In the large bowl add all of the ingredients
  4. Knead until incorporated and form into a loaf. Don't overmix
  5. Place in large oven proof loaf pan and make a well on top, add a little more ketchup
  6. Bake until thermometer reads about 170-180 degrees.  apx 1- 1 1/2 hours. 
  7. About 1/2 an hour before it's done make your potatoes and veggies
  8. Remove from oven and let it rest before slicing.   
  9. Serve with ketchup or gravy, mashed potatoes, and fresh veggies.  
  10. It's wonderful for sandwiches the next several days too.  Enjoy!
