Vegetarian or Vegan - Similarities and Differences

The two diets, vegetarian and vegan, are quite similar in nature but also have some notable differences.  Vegetarian recipes typically consist of plant-based ingredients like grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts.  On the other hand, vegan recipes eliminate all animal products – including dairy and eggs.

Finax Mjolmix Gluten-Free (Gluten Free Bread Loaf)

This was my first attempt of using a gluten free mixture for bread, and I have to admit that I was impressed with the results.
I mixed all ingredients in a mixer. The texture of the uncooked dough was very elastic.  It looked like a boiled potato mashed in a food processor.

 The package instructions were very clear and easy to follow, but I made a few changes to the recipe according to what I believe worked better.

Finax Mjolmix Gluten-Free (Gluten Free Bread Loaf)
Makes 1 huge loaf

Ingredients
900gr Finax Gluten-Free Flour Mix
16gr dried yeast (or 50gr fresh yeast)
2 tsps salt
800ml warm water (-37ºC/-99ºF)
60gr melted margarine (or melted butter, or 50ml olive oil)

Preparation Method
1. Preheat the oven at 200ºC (400ºF, Gas Mark 6).
2. Mix the flour, dried yeast and salt in a bowl. (NOTE: if using fresh yeast proceed as per package instructions)
3. Add the water and the oil to the flour mix.
4. In a mixer (using dough hooks), mix the ingredients for 5 to 7 minutes. The mixture will be very elastic.
5. Pour the mixture in a greased loaf tin (approx. 3 litres).
6. Cover the tin with cling film and/or a damp cloth and leave in a warm place to rise for approximately 35 minutes.
7. Brush the top of the bread carefully with water (this will give the bread a nice golden color, during baking)
8. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.  Take the loaf off the tin and continue baking for another 15 minutes.
