This is the first class of a two-part series on baking “free”—without gluten, dairy, eggs, or soy. The challenge of gluten-free baking becomes even greater when you factor in allergies or sensitivities to dairy, eggs and/or soy, but with the help of Whole Life Nutrition’s chef Ali Segersten and nutritionist Tom Malterre, you can rise to it. This class will cover making whole grain yeast breads and rolls, including cinnamon rolls, and quick breads and muffins. Examples of recipes include Everyday Sandwich Bread, Multi-grain Dinner Rolls, Cinnamon Rolls, Teff Breakfast Muffins, and Banana Bread (recipe adaptations for using eggs will be given for some recipes).
