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

Skinny Gluten Free Papaya Sorbet, sugar free

Posted by
There's a little magic that happens when you take ripe fruit and blend it into soft creamy Sorbet.  It's gloriously fresh and just tastes just like the fruit from the tree! So much better than what you can buy in the stores.  I read that adding a little vodka or liqueur will help keep your Sorbet soft in the freezer, I was out of Vodka so I can't tell you if that works or not, but even if it doesn't work, you will love this Papaya Sorbet. We did!

Skinny Gluten Free Papaya Sorbet, sugar free

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of Truvia Stevia Baking blend, or the equivalent amount of alternative sugars to taste
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 very large papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 cup of Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum  (Another tip for keeping the soft smoothness)
  • 1/4 cup gluten free vodka-opt but it helps keep it soft
  • dash of salt
Note-you can also use honey, organic sugar, agave nectar or Stevia drops if you prefer. 

Instructions:

1. Chop up the papayas.  ( you can freeze your chunks ahead of time if you are wanting to serve this after processing)

2. Put fruit chunks it into a large blender/food processor with the Stevia, salt, xanthan gum and blend for 2 minutes at high-speed. 

3. Add the Coconut milk and lime Juice.  Blend well.  Add a little of the vodka (if using) or more coconut milk as needed until smooth, but not runny.  Taste, Add more sweetener and liquid if needed

5. Pour your entire mixture into a freezer friendly container and freeze for at least 6 hours, or if you froze your fruit ahead of time you can serve immediately

6. Make sure you take the Sorbet out of the freezer for 15 minutes before you serve it.


Enjoy! :)
