After suffering for a year with store-bought frozen GF rolls which crumbled into sand, my husband also discovered he had celiac and I knew he wouldn’t suffer these! I found a recipe online which I have changed and adapted and changed and adapted and have now found perfection!

How Would You
Rate this recipe?
Can this be made in a bread machine?
Yes, but note not to overmix!
Is the oat in here for texture/consistency or taste? My Rabbi said it is hamotzi if it’s in there for taste, but not hamotzi if it’s in there for texture consistency – so trying to figure that out. Thank you!
Consistency- the flavor of oats is pretty light
Can I try adding some baking powder? I find that it adds fluffiness to GF challah.
Sure, if you’ve done it before and it worked you can try that.
how many challahs does this recipe provide?
