DESCRIPTION
We have taken one of our favourite gluten free bread recipes and made it even better. With 12g of Collagen Hydrolysate, it tastes great and is fantastic for sandwiches or as toast!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (about 40ºC) of choice (nut milk, fresh coconut milk or raw goat or cow’s milk)
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 2 tbsp Collagen Hydrolysate
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup butter or ghee melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar and yeast. Stir and dissolve the yeast and allow the yeast mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixer bowl that attaches to a stand up mixer, combine the gluten free all purpose flour, collagen hydrolysate and salt and turn the mixer on low and for a few seconds to blend.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour and blend on low for 30 seconds.
- Add in butter and eggs and blend on low scraping the sides as needed. Blend until dough is well blended, about 30 seconds.
- Turn the mixer on high and beat for 3 minutes or until the batter becomes smooth.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for an hour. I heated my oven up to 40ºC and then turned the oven off and placed it in the oven for an hour.
- Grease a 24cm x 10cm bread pan with coconut oil or butter. Stir the dough after it has risen for an hour and gently place it into the prepared bread pan.
- Cover with a piece of greased plastic wrap and loosely lay it on top and allow the bread to rise in a warm place for another 20-30 minutes or until the loaf rises just to the top of the loaf pan.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and bake the bread for 40-50 minutes. The bread will be golden brown on top and have a hard shell.

What is Healthy Goalsetting?
The New Year period is a fantastic opportunity that we can all take to reflect upon the healthy living choices we make in our daily lives and how we can make informed, positive health choices in the future to improve overall quality of life. However, I feel we can all probably think of a time that health 'resolutions' and the well-intentioned goals that we set have been unsustainable for a range of reasons. Too often we find we are unintentionally setting ourselves up for failure…
The Essential Guide to Collagen
Collagen is made up of 18 amino acids and is the most abundant protein in our body, making up around 30% of total human protein content. It is essential as it helps build strong fibres and connective tissue in our bodies. For this reason, collagen is commonly referred to as the ‘glue’ holding the body together as it ensures the integrity, elasticity and regeneration of our connective tissues.
