by Well and Good | May 19, 2016 | Gluten Free

Winter is descending on Australia and in some places the temperatures are starting to drop. Being cooped up inside can be a bit of a downer. The good news is, rain or shine, you can always get busy in the kitchen. To help you out, we’ve compiled 5 of our team’s favourite winter gluten free recipes for you to enjoy.

5 winter gluten free recipes

1. The classic Aussie pie

The classic Aussie pie, it’s as much at home at a Footy game as it is in a fine dining restaurant. At home, you can dress your pie up or down depending on how much time you have and what the occasion is. Here’s our shortcrust pastry recipe. Now all you need to do is get creative and stuff with your favourite filling.

2. Chocolate Mud Cake

Chocolate mud cake – the chocolate lover’s indulgence. A rich chocolately, fudgey cake that everyone loves. This treat is best served topped with luxurious chocolate ganache and a big dollop of cream. Create one large mud cake or mini cakes in a muffin tray that you can munch on like pretzels. Either way you’re onto a winner.

3. Pizza

Our challenge to you is this: bring us one person that doesn’t like pizza! Savoury or sweet, seafood or steak, Funghi or Hawaiian, there’s a topping to suit everyone’s taste. Although gluten free pizza bases have got a bad rap over recent years for their texture, we can assure you this recipe provides a wonderful soft base.

4. Torillas

Tortillas are a household item in many Aussie homes. Just because you can’t have gluten in your diet doesn’t mean you have to miss out. Make your gluten free tortillas then stuff them full of delicious, fresh ingredients. Add some hot and spicy salsa sauce, close you eyes and picture yourself in Cancun to warm your winter away.

5. Bownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Brownies: on their own or used to make ice cream sandwiches, it doesn’t matter. Anything that involves brownies is a good thing. You can whip these up in no time and they really do taste as good as those that are made from wheat flour. Now all you need is your favourite box-set of DVDs and you’re set for that next cold and wet day.

Gluten Free Banana Bread

by Well and Good | Feb 23, 2016 | Baking Tips, Gluten Free, Vegan

Banana bread, it’s an Australian classic which is hugely popular for it’s taste and texture. You also have the ability to use up all those old bananas in the fruit basket. Did you know that February 23rd is Banana Bread day? That’s right, this humble bread gets its very own day to celebrate and it’s the motivation behind this post.

Skip the info and go straight to the recipe.

A quick history of banana bread

This yummy bread has a clouded history and it is hard to pinpoint when it was invented. It is likely to have first been made in America in the 19th century when baking powder became readily available. Banana bread increased in popularity during the Great Depression in the 1930’s when it was used as an efficient way to use bananas that were going off. Since those days, there have been many new recipes that use lots of different ingredients and extras. Some of these include choc chips, dried fruit and nuts.

In search of a gluten free banana bread

We wanted to develop a recipe for gluten free banana bread. It needed to be a more nutritious version of its predecessor but still taste moist and flavoursome. Nice texture was also a must! By using teff flour and quinoa flour we believe we have set the foundations for a great tasting banana bread. However, you’ll also get much more protein and fibre than recipes that use other ingredients such as wheat flour.

Cooking with raw ingredients doesn’t need to be difficult as you’ll see from our recipe. It’s simply a case of throwing everything in a bowl and mixing. Simple!

So don’t delay another second, get our banana bread recipe now.

Gluten Free Bee Sting Cake Recipe

by Well and Good | Dec 11, 2015 | Gluten Free

When we were sent this amazing bee sting cake recipe we were in awe of such an amazing creation. This cake not only looks and tastes amazing, it is also gluten free and actually quite easy to make.

Gluten free bee sting cake

Bee sting (or Bienenstich) cake is a cake that was first made in Germany and comprises of a brioche type pastry filled with custard and topped with yummy, sticky honey almonds. To create this masterpiece, you can use the Well and Good Crusty Bread Mix to make the dough. There is also the option to create the dough using buckwheat and rice flour if you prefer cooking from scratch.

Here’s some useful trivia for you: It is believed that the name, bee sting, derives from it’s honey topping. A long time ago a baker made a delicious bee sting cake and left it to cool. However, bees were attracted to the honey and the end result was the baker getting stung! From that point on, it became known as a bee sting cake.
