Free artisan bread recipes10/2/2023 ![]() However, moving to Japan offered so many more challenges. In 2011 in the USA it was difficult to find gluten free ingredients. Who knew thirty years later I would have to try even harder to recreate or just create a new way of gluten cooking and sometimes baking.

I was not interested in cooking or baking, especially precision baking. I was a bored child watching public TV on rainy weekend afternoons. These shows focused on the practical, tried and true recipes that when followed strictly would lead to a perfectly prepared dish. Julia Child showed us the precision of French cuisine and how to properly open a lobster. Yan Can Cook, by chef Martin Yan, showed us the ways of mastering Chinese dishes. The chefs worked at a much slower pace and there were not competitions. Long before there were amazing adventurous cooking shows we watched less exciting food programs. Watching public television cooking shows as a child inspired me to try my hand at cooking and eating almost anything. I consider myself to be a stove top cook. You probably won’t see most of these ingredients in the bakers section of your your local grocery store in Japan or anywhere in the world.

The ingredients in the bread recipe might seem unusual to those accustomed to making wheat bread. Tomiz is for home bakers and confectionary makers. Tomiz Shoten has some of these ingredients on the list like tapioca starch and coconut flour. Also, you might not live in Tokyo so finding these ingredients will be even more difficult.

But this artisan bread features items you can have shipped to Japan in about a week from iHerb. It is inspired by other grain free bread recipes I found in books and on the internet. This one recipe is all you will need to make a hearty filling artisan bread.
