Ingredients:
200g cornmeal
100g sultanas
2 dsps sugar
2 tsps gluten-free baking powder
150ml (plus) water
Good splash of olive oil
Plus a handful of seedless grapes, halved.
Method:
1. Put the oven on at 200C and line a baking tray with
baking parchment.
2. Place dry ingredients in mixing bowl and stir a couple of
times, using a spatula or table knife.
3. Working quickly (the baking powder starts to react when
it meets the water.), add sufficient water to bring it together as a dough - I
found I'd used 162.5g (my scales are divided into 25g segments - the pointer
was just halfway between two markers!)
4. Place on baking parchment and roll or push the dough out
into a circle about 2cm thick. Cover with the grapes and place in the oven for
about 20 minutes
5. It's ready when a skewer comes out clean.
The term ‘Two harvest bread', comes from the fact that the
sultanas are from last year and the grapes from this. (If you soak the sultanas overnight in wine it becomes ‘Three harvest bread' and the wine now becomes a dessert wine!)
The bread has an unusual texture - it seems a little grainy
when you first pop it into your mouth, and there is a slight 'metaliccy' taste.
But I had some last night and found myself going back
several times for another nibble, which is a good sign!
I had a chunk for breakfast, split and spread with apple
puree. It was very acceptable.
(I'm certain you could make this into a pizza dough by
leaving out the sugar and fruit. I'd be tempted to brush the surface with oil
before putting on a tomato topping.)
