Gluten Free Review - Anna's Yeast Free Bread

Sorry it's been so long since I posted.  Major bathroom remodel going on at the house, 99 year old Dad to care for and work just sort of intervened.  

Today for my two readers :-)  A review of a gluten/yeast free bread mix Anna's.

I've tried other products from Anna and  really liked them (The banana bread is really good)  Some words of advice in making this.  Use a really big bowl.  The bread "mix" is extremely powdery and if you try and mix it in a small bowl a lot of it ends up in the air.   It's also extremely thick and sticky when mixed and placing it in the pan requires some effort and it won't really smooth down (the resultant bread looked very much like the product on the box.

Taste:  I should have added the suggested sweetener (which is optional according to their directions).  It tasted much like a general whole wheat beer bread but without a hint of sweetness, almost slightly bitter when eaten cold.  I had some made as toast for breakfast with some preserves and it was really nice, but eating it plain - I should have added the sweetener.

Texture - Actually very nice.  Sliced easily with a serrated knife, even when warm.

Ingrediants:  tapioca starch,  arrowroot, millet flour, chia flour, chickpea flour, pinto bean flour, navy bean flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt, xanthan gum (certified soy and corn free).

Cost - $8 - $9.  Not cheap but it does make a nice two pound loaf.

Would I make again - I think I'd  definately try it again with a couple of Tablespoons of sugar added.
