Soaked Bread Recipe for the gluten sensitive:)

Hey Everyone! 
It has been a very, very long time since I have posted!  I am so sorry for that!  Life has been
challenging for quite a while!!
This time last year we became very aware of the fact that our "special guy" has a sensitivity to gluten.
I must admit that this was extremely devastating to me!!  I mean, my word, I am the grain co=op leader for our area!!  How can "I" have a child that is sensitive to gluten?! We immediately took him off of our high-gluten-wonderful-for-him-homemade bread!!  This b.r.o.k.e. my heart:(
Our next step was to find an alternative for him...he loves bread.  We found Udi's rice bread at our local grocery store for a whooping $4.99 for about a 6 inch long mini loaf of bread:(  He was eating one loaf every two days:(  At this rate we would go into debt just buying him rice bread!  The next step was to find a decent rice bread recipe that we could make on our own.  We found one that worked out "okay"...but it would fall apart once you tried to make a sandwich with it.
In the fall of last year we had him tested with electrodermal testing.  I was somewhat skeptical at first, but after the testing I was amazed how the foods that he tested sensitive to truly were causing him issues!  I was now a believer!  One of the things that I did when he went for the testing was I was able to bring food that I thought was an issue to him.  I made a loaf of our "normal" bread and I made a loaf of soaked bread.  He was "off the charts" with our normal bread-showing a problem.  When they tested him with the soaked bread, it tested him fine.  I was shocked.  I must admit that it has taken me over a year to jump onto the "soaked bread train"!!  But I am so glad that I did.  About 3 weeks ago, I went to buy one of those $4.99 loaves of bread and it was now up to $5.75!!  That was more than I could take! I promptly went home, found the recipe for the soaked bread and started our next step of the journey.  To my extreme delight, my gluten sensitive young man is able to eat my soaked bread!!  I AM SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!  If any of you have a sensitivity to the Prairie Gold bread, please give this soaked bread a try.  What a blessing it is to make my son bread that is so very, very good for him, in spite of his gluten sensitivity!!

Soaked Bread Recipe
10 cups of freshly ground flour
2 3/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs)
1 stick melted butter
1/2 cup honey

Gently mix honey, butter, ACV and water until honey is dissolved.
Add in 4 cups of flour.  Slowly add the rest of the flour until it forms a stiff dough (almost to the dry point). Knead a minute or two.  Put into a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 16-20 hours...allow to sit on kitchen counter.

Day 2
1/4 cup of warm water
1 tsp of honey
2 Tbps yeast 
1 tsp of salt.
Mix together and allow to stand until frothy. (about 5 minutes)

Add about mixture to dough in your mixer--knead for 10-12 minutes.  Let rise until double in size (1 1/2 hours) Roll into 3 loaves--put into pans and let rise.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

This recipe makes a beautiful dough.  After that first rise you can make into rolls or hamburger buns or flatbread...let your imagination take you away!

If you try this recipe and have "issues" with gluten and it works for you, please share your testimony with us:)

Blessings!

SO...who remembers Ryan's steak house?  The one thing that is forever etched in my memory is the smell of their rolls as you walked in the door:)

I found this recipe right before Thanksgiving and thought that I would try it.  I know that it is made with "white flour"...but my oh my...they are so yummy:)
