Gluten Free Artisan Break FLOP!! $65 Loaf of Bread!!


I love to bake, so I thought that making this gluten free artisan bread would be a piece of cake.   I found this recipe on www.artisanbreadinfive.com.   It says to make this flour mixture, so I went 
bought all these different types of flours and yeast at Sprout's and Walmart.  It cost me about $65!!  I finally made the mixture about a few weeks ago.   Ok...I guess I really wasn't ecstatic about making this bread.  I decided tonight was the night.   I told Sarah that I was making it and she helped me find the bread attachment to my Kitchenaide.  She really wasn't interested in helping me though....my dream because she always wants to help and it turns into a messier kitchen!!   I started reading the directions again and realized it was going to take me a lot longer to finish this bread than I anticipated.   I made the dough and let it sit for 2 hours, then broke some off and made my loaf.   It had to sit for 30 more minutes while the oven was heating up.   Did I mention my oven stinks (like doesn't always work properly)?   Well, my oven stinks.   I realized after I finally put it in the oven and went to clean the kitchen up that the attachment I found for making bread did not get used.  I used the regular one!!   YIKES!   Ok I just thought maybe it would't matter.   I checked the bread in 20 minutes and it didn't seem like it was baking.  I checked again in 20 more minutes and nothing!   The bread was not getting pretty and dark brown like the pictures.   I took it out and I'm so thankful I didn't drop it on my toe because I would be at the hospital with a broken toe.   The bread was hard as a rock and tiny!!   I just cracked-up!!   I could try to make some more, but now I have to go buy all this flour again.   The Trader Joe's white bread loaf for $4.00 seems like the best deal and Sarah likes it!!!
