Pattern found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pebble-lace-crocheted-tam although I made alterations to the original pattern.
sour dough bread – gluten free


Dry ingredients mixed together first:
1. 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
2. 1/2 cup millet meal
3. 1 cup urad bean flour
4. 1 cup maize flour
5. 1/2 cup tapioca starch
6. 1 1/2 tsp salt
Mix well.
Then the not so dry ingredients:
7. 1/2 cup almond meal
8. 1 Tablespoon linseeds
9. 1 Tablespoon sunflower seeds
10. 1 Tablespoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
11. 1 tsp (rounded) caraway seeds or some other herbs or spices
Mix.
Wet ingredients:
12. 1/2 cup fruit juice
13. 2 cups water
14. 1 dribble kefir
Mix well.
Place in a covered loaf pan to rise at 30 degrees Celsius optimally.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Bake for 40 minutes with a sheet of aluminium foil to cover and a hole or two to let the steam escape.
There was moisture on top, so I removed the foil and put the bread back in the oven on the lowest setting for five minutes.
Slice once it is cold.
Nicest toasted.
Verdict: Yum! Goes especially well with Anathoth jam (with no additives) which I found in one of our larger Woolworths Supermarkets (not my local one unfortunately).
