Gluten Free Bread for Bread Maker Recipe: Soft Loaf

Use a bread maker’s gluten-free cycle with gluten-free all-purpose flour, warm milk or water, eggs, oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Add ingredients in the order your manual specifies, scrape the pan during the first mix, and expect a thick batter rather than elastic dough. Cool the baked loaf completely before slicing so the crumb can set.

Can You Freeze Mashed Potatoes: Best Uses

Yes. Mashed potatoes freeze well enough for leftovers and make-ahead portions, although thawing can change their texture.

Stir in a little butter, cream, or milk only if the potatoes turn dry or stiff.
