Gluten-Free Hamotzi Challah

Recipe…

This Recipe Is A Quick and Easy Batter
(instead of  traditional dough).

From this recipe you can bake “Hamotzi Challah”
or sweet or savory dinner rolls, sandwich buns,
even honey glazed tea cakes.
Bake in a silicone mold or ramekins in a microwave,
or any tins in an oven.

(Hamotzi is the Hebrew blessing said over bread,
usually a braided dough bread. Hamotzi recipes
require Yeast instead of baking powder, and require
one of the 5 ‘biblical’ grains, of which OAT is the
only grain that is gluten-free.)

Makes 8 BIG Rolls from a batter (instead of dough).
Bake in a Microwave or standard Oven.

INGREDIENTS:

Whisk these dry ingredients together.
1 cup tapioca or arrowroot
2 cups gf flour (If for Hamotzi, use only oat flour) or make your own

2-1/4 tsp yeast or baking powder 
        (yeast required *for Hamotzi blessing).
1¾ tsp xanthan or guar gum
3/4 tsp salt

Mix & Add Room-temperature Wet ingredients:

4 eggs beaten (or vegan egg subs.)
2 tbs. oil (olive or avocado)

1/4 cup+ 2 tsp.(6 tbs.) honey or maple syrup (or
        date honey, or coconut sugar)
1/4 cup+ 2 tsp.(6 tbs.) applesauce unsweetened

1 cup very warm non dairy milk (or water for Challah)
 

*or ground flaxseed or chia seed
(omit if you are using a milk that contains gum).

Batter will be quite thick, like buttermilk pancakes.
If it is too thick to pour off a large serving spoon,
add more warm water 1 tbs. at a time until it can.

Fold in Optional add-ins:
1 tsp. cinnamon,
(or up to 1/4 tsp. each of your favorite herbs or spices).
1 tsp extract vanilla, almond, orange.
4 to 8  tbs. frozen blueberries, dates or any
chopped dried fruit, or chocolate chips.

I added the liquids, and mixed until it became a thick batter
that can drop off a spoon to fill the molds.  I covered the molds,
loosely with parchment paper let this rise in pre-warmed oven
with the light on for 25 minutes, until it was puffy-looking, but
not doubled.

To Microwave: microwave full power about 2 minutes,
(2 rolls at a time), until toothpick comes out clean.
Add 10 or 20 seconds if needed.

Give it Two-Minutes and check it. When done they pull
away from the mold slightly, and a toothpick inserted
in the center comes out clean.

Microwaves vary, so you may need to add
10 or 20 seconds at a time and check again, until done.

To Oven Bake: Preheat to 350-F. Bake about 25 minutes
or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Use a silicone or tin challah mold, or muffin tins,
or oven-safe bowls. You can make this gluten-free
Hamotzi Challah batter recipe yeast-free *(except, yeast
is required for the Hamotzi bread blessing). It’s dairy-free,
even refined sugar free, using honey instead.

To brown them 

Pop under a broil cycle or toaster oven until browned.

The results are light, and delightful, sweet or savory as you prefer.
Can be made in greased tin molds or ramekins.
