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

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 Socca Bean flour pancakes or waffles, for a high protein breakfast

Wonderful fluffy lower carb, gluten free pancakes made with bean flour
Gluten Free Socca Garbanzo Bean Flour Pancakes are delicious!
In many countries they make a very popular flatbread called Socca or Farinata.  That was my inspiration for these pancakes. I hear people in Europe stand in line waiting for the fresh Socca that is baked each day. I can see why!
These pancakes bake up with a fluffy texture and delicate flavor. The bean flour is high in protein and lower in carbs for a healthy breakfast. I also like them cold with jam for a treat! We were so impressed with these gluten free and low carb pancakes and will be making them often.

I also used this great flour in my new Low Carb Chicken and Dumplings!
Enjoy!
