How To Make a Quick Gluten-Free
\n*Hamotzi Challah In A Mold
\nOven-Bake or Microwave
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0This Gluten-Free, *Hamotzi Challah recipe, is very versatile.
\nYou can make several types of rolls or buns
\nfrom this same recipe depending on your mold
\nand seasoning or sweetness. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(For\u00a0 *Hamotzi Sabbath Challah to be Gluten-Free<\/strong><\/span>
\nthe flour needs to be one of the 5 biblical <\/span>grains, which
\ncan only be oat flour.) The other 4 grains are NOT\u00a0<\/span>
\nGluten-Free.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Yield 8 BIG challah rolls using a mold<\/strong>
\nGrease the mold.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

QUICK, SIMPLE INGREDIENTS:
\nIn a large bowl <\/span><\/strong><\/span>whisk these dry ingredients together:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a02\u00bc cups oat flour (or any GF or all purpose) or Make Your Own<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup tapioca, (or arrowroot, potato starch, or cornstarch
\n1\u00be tsp guar (or xanthan<\/em>) gum\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp salt<\/span>
\n2\u00bc tsp yeast (or baking powder)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mix these (room-temperature) liquids
\n<\/strong><\/span>4 eggs (beat until foamy)<\/em>
\n Beat in<\/em>
\n6 tbs. unsweetened applesauce
\n4\u00bd tbs. raw sugar maple syrup, honey, or date honey
\n2 tbs. coconut oil (or olive, or avocado)
\nAdd to them dry until the batter can pour
\nslowly off the edge of a wooden mixing
\nspoon.\u00a0<\/strong>
\n1 cup very warm water 1\/4 at a time (or water for Shabbat Challah)<\/span><\/span> Add gradually to the dry ingredients
\n<\/span>Batter should be quite thick, but if it is too thick
\nto pour off a large serving spoon, add warm
\nwater 1 tbs. at a time<\/span><\/p>\n

(if using yeast, cover with sheets of parchment.
\nLet rise in a warm place 30 – 45 minutes).<\/span><\/p>\n

Fold in Optional add-ins:<\/span>
\n1 tsp cinnamon,
\n1 tsp extract vanilla, almond, orange<\/span>
\n2 to 4\u00a0 Tbs. frozen blueberries, dates or any
\ndried fruit chopped, or chocolate chips.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nTo Microwave (bake 4 rolls at a time)
\nFULL POWER, Two-Minutes!
\n<\/strong>When done they pull away from the mold slightly
\nand a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
\nMicrowaves vary, so you may need to add
\n10 or 20 seconds at a time and check again.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Or bake in the oven<\/strong> for <\/em>about 20 minutes ).
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If yeast is used, let it rise in the challah mold, (covered<\/span>
\nwith wrap or parchment), in a warm place for 25 to 35<\/span>
\nminutes, until puffy looking, but not doubled.<\/span><\/p>\n

To create a warm place, pre-heat your oven for only 1 <\/span>minute
\nat 350-F with the light on. Then shut heat and leave light on.<\/span>
\n
\nI baked it in a 350-F (not preheated), for 22 minutes.
\n<\/span>When done the batter<\/span> pulls away from the mold a bit,
\n<\/span>and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*********************************<\/span><\/p>\n

If you aren’t in a hurry, always make these with
\ninstant yeast. <\/span><\/strong>I love the aroma and light texture
\nit creates.
\nIf you’re in a hurry you can bake in the microwave
\nfor about 2 minutes for 4 rolls at a time.
\nYou can also sub yeast with baking powder to
\neliminate rising for 30-40 minutes.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

NOTES:
\n<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Make<\/em> Challah batter as Sandwich or Tea buns, <\/em>in a
\nSilicone Challah Mold \u00a0<\/a> sold at this link. <\/span><\/strong>(<\/span>I do not <\/em><\/span>get any commission
\nif you purchase there). <\/em><\/span>It’s only helpful info. Bake in a Microwave-
\n<\/span>safe bowl (or oven-bake in a tin mold).
\n<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This ONE same gluten-free batter<\/strong> recipe <\/span>also lets you quickly<\/span><\/span>
\nmake great gluten-free dinner rolls, mini-bundt buns, sweet or
\nsavory sandwich buns, <\/span>depending only on your seasoning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use yeast or baking powder for leavening!\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>Amazing!
\nThere is no rising time needed using baking powder for
\nleavening.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nYou won’t believe how light, fluffy, and sweet an<\/span>
\ninstant bun can be… And these taste just Yum!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These cinnamon raisin buns were made in a<\/span>
\nsilicone flower mold in the microwave in 1
\nminute on full power. Brush or <\/span>dip tops while
\nstill warm with melted oil. Press on a mix of<\/span>
\ncinnamon and sugar to your taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To get any shape you’d like, you can bake this
\nbatter in <\/span>any microwave-safe mugs, ramekins,
\nor silicone molds.<\/span><\/p>\n

From this same batter, you can also make:
\nmuffins, instant <\/span>sandwich or burger buns,
\ndepending on your mold, Dinner <\/span>rolls, sweet
\ncinnamon-raisin tea buns, savory herb-seasoned<\/span>
\nbuns to serve with soup or dinner!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s failproof even if you don’t measure or time
\nthem precisely <\/span>perfect. The texture is light and fluffy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a bowl or mug for a mold, these also make great GF<\/span>
\nCrumpets when slit in half and toasted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a microwavable (or oven-proof) bowl
\nas a mold, <\/strong>you’ll also get dome shaped burger
\nor sandwich buns. <\/span>Don’t exceed 3\/4″ <\/span>deep batt<\/span>er,
\nand slit cooled rolls horizontally for the <\/span>burger\/
\nsan<\/span>dwich buns in this picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

This instant batter can make<\/strong> a fancy, yummy, Challah for<\/span>
\nShabbat, using a braided challah mold either made of tin<\/span>
\nor silicone. (Both molds Available on Amazon). I have made
\nthese as hot dog buns using a microwave corn-on-the-cob
\nmaker as a mold!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cool for a few minutes, then enjoy, or
\nplace wrapped cooled challah into freezer
\ncontainer to freeze until needed.
\nBest served warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*If you are using yeast for Shabbat rolls,<\/strong>
\nYou need to put the batter in greased molds
\nfill only 1\/2 (or less) of the mold or ramekin.
\nCover with greased parchment paper.
\nLet rise 25 to 40 minutes in a warm place free
\nof drafts, (the oven with the light on for warmth).
\nBake at 350\u00ba <\/span>until firm in appearance.\u00a0<\/span>
\nRemove from mold and finish on <\/span><\/span>a cookie
\nsheet until browned.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nJust fill the mold 1\/4 inch from\u00a0the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Batter will be quite thick.<\/strong><\/span>
\nPour into greased molds or tins and bake at 350.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Or Give them 1 minute <\/span>in the microwave and check for
\ndoneness. An inserted <\/span>toothpick should come out clean.
\nIf not done add time <\/span>at 30 second intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can divide the batter and satisfy different<\/strong><\/span>
\nadd-in preferences and\/or molds.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No Need to preheat the oven.<\/strong> Pour this batter into a greased<\/span>
\nmold or bowl or ramekin. Give them 1 minute in the microwave<\/span>
\nand check for doneness. An inserted toothpick should come out<\/span>
\nclean. If not done add time at 30 second intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n

OR To Oven Bake
\n<\/strong>Bake at 350\u00ba about 20-30 minutes until browned.<\/span><\/p>\n

If not for Shabbat,<\/strong> these rolls above can also be made from
\nGF <\/span>flour blends, of up to 3\/4 oat or almond flour plus <\/span>1\/4
\ntapioca starch, and baking powder without yeast for leavening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

About the Sabbath Hamotzi Challah:\u00a0<\/strong>
\n(for Shabbat *Hamotzi blessing)
\nchallah is required to be more than 50%
\nof one of the biblical “5 grains.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be Gluten-Free Sabbath Challah<\/strong> oat flour is required<\/strong> .
\n(The 4 other grains are not gluten-free).\u00a0 If you cannot find
\nOat Flour, simply <\/span>Make Your Own<\/span><\/span>
\nIt is exceptionally economical.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Challah for the Sabbath requires yeast instead\u00a0of baking powder.\u00a0I was
\nable to let the batter rise, covered with plastic wrap or parchment, in a
\npre-warmed oven for 30 minutes. Then\u00a0I put the batter in two molds at a
\ntime in the microwave for 2.2 minutes at 100%.<\/span><\/p>\n

I get this yummy <\/span>bread in a minute!<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Even when I let it rise a little too long or not long
\nenough, or under-baked,<\/span> it has never failed.
\nYou can toast to further brown finished rolls in the oven
\non broil, or in a toaster oven.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For breakfast warm with butter, or afternoon tea,
\nwith fruit spread.\u00a0Mix in dried fruit\u00a0or\u00a0chocolate
\nchips, glaze or frost or sugar the tops. For dinner
\nwith your favorite seasonings and a tbsp. less sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because all items in microwaves absorb power, I cut
\noff one silicone mold from a sheet of 6.
\nI placed the greased and filled mold, batter-side-up, on a
\nmicrowave-safe plate.
\n<\/span>Baking took 1 minute on full power in my microwave.
\nAnd here’s how they turned out using baking powder.<\/span><\/p>\n
