Cinnamon raisin bread made with gluten-free sourdough starter discard instead of commercial yeast. I made this recipe during the Covid-19 lockdown when yeast had disappeared from the supermarkets. This light and fluffy loaf is very easy to make because there is no kneading; it is more of a batter than a dough. This bread is delicious toasted.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 2 cups gluten-free bread flour mix
- 0.5 cups buckwheat flour
- 0.25 cups coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1 pinch baking soda
- 0.75 cups whole milk , at room temperature
- 0.5 cups gluten-free sourdough starter
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 3 eggs , lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

'Chiacchiere' is a dessert that is fried and sprinkled with confectioners' sugar and served with sanguinaccio. It is a traditional Italian dessert in the region of Campagnia, served during 'carnevale' or as we say Mardi Gras. It is served with 'sanguinaccio' a chocolate sauce used for dipping the 'chiacchiere'. Years ago the sanguinaccio was made with chocolate and pig's blood, but now the use of the blood has been banned due to health concerns, but in small villages across Italy it is still used.
