Loaf Bread - No Yeast

Loaf bread made without yeast is not as light and airy as bread that rises with yeast.  Unfortunately, I am sensitive to bread that is made with yeast.  The following recipe is a fair substitute - nothing like the real thing!  It doesn't start as a dough like traditional bread.  The batter is more like making a cake.  The large amount of egg whites and baking powder help to make the bread rise.  Since there are no preservatives, it should be refrigerated. Eat the bread fast or slice it and freeze.

RECIPE

1-1/4 cup spelt flour

1 cup oat flour

1 TBS sugar

2 TBS baking powder

1 TBS cornstarch

1/4 tsp. salt

1-1/2 cup egg whites (use carton version)

3/4 cup warm water

3 TBS oil
dash cream of tartar (optional)

Preheat oven 375 degrees. Cook for 30 minutes? (to update time-I forgot to write down)

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl (flours, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt).  Slowly pour in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl (egg whites*, warm water, oil). (*Another option is to beat the egg whites separately with a dash of cream of tartar until they peak. Then fold them in gently into the batter so as much air remain as possible. - I plan to try this next time!) 

Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Cook until brown and the bread bounces back when touched (dry fork or toothpick test in the center works too).
