Mini chocolate orange panettone – low fodmap
This is an ideal Christmas recipe for low fodmappers who want to have a festive bread without marzipan and probably one of the only bread recipes that I have managed to produce that has risen well! It is based on an enriched bead dough mix produced using a standard purchased bread flour.
Recipe
250g gluten free bread flour
150g dark chocolate chips
2 teaspoons of orange oil
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 pack of fast acting yeast
1 pinch of salt
1 small pinch of cream of tartar
50g of castor sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of cloves
1 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of mixed spice
400ml of warm water
Method
Add the flour, spices salt and dark chocolate chips to a bowl, mix.
Separate the yolk from the white of the eggs.
To the white add a pinch of cream of tartar and whisk till peaks are formed, adding 25g of sugar half way through, then add the rest when soft peaks are formed.
To the yolks add the oil, vanilla and orange oil
Start adding the water to the dry ingredients and mix with a hand mixer. Then add the yolks.
Fold into the mix half the beaten egg whites quickly to slacken the mix. The gently fold in the rest of the egg white.
Add to bread tins and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes to rise. Cook in a warm oven for 30 minutes until cooked.
Easter chocolate orange cake treat – low fodmap
Ingredients
Cake
150g self raising gluten free flour
150g margarine
150g golden castor sugar
Grated rind of 1 orange
Juice of half an orange
2 eggs
15g cocoa powder (check gluten free if needed)
1 teaspoon of gluten free baking powder
Orange marmalade
Chocolate frosting
50g Dark chocolate
15g Margarine
2 Tablespoons of warm water
175g of sifted icing sugar
3 Drops of oil of orange flavouring.
Method
Cream together margarine and sugar till smooth.
Add orange rind and juice of orange, mix well.
Add one egg at a time and beat well to avoid the mix curdling.
If it does start to separate add a tablespoon of flour and mix in well.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder and baking powder) till fully incorporated.
Cook at gas mark 6 for 1 hour till risen and cooked through.
Whilst the cake is cooling make the icing.
Put the chocolate, water and margarine in a bowl held over a pan of boiling water.
Melt and mix, add the oil of orange and icing sugar and beat till smooth.
Cut the cake in half and spread the orange marmalade over the bottom layer, then a thin layer of frosting.
Add the rest of the frosting to the cake.
The cake is also decorated with half kumquat segments.
Serve – remember a small serving is probably a good idea, a great treat for Easter perhaps!
