Mix the following ingredients in Kitchen Aid (w/dough hook) or Bosch and let stand until bubbly (to prove yeast virility)
1/4 t. Fruit Fresh (Ascorbic Acid)

Kneed at least 10 minutes using mixer.
Remove from mixer and cover. Set in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled.
Punch down dough ball, divide into loaves and place into greased bread tins. Cover and let rise in a warm oven 45 minutes.
Remove cover and heat oven to 350. Bake for 30 minutes.
Yield 3 medium to large loaves
3 large free-range eggs
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup sweet potato/yam puree

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup GF flour mix*
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

*There are many variations here, but this is a good basic flour mix:
2 cups rice flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca starch/flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of an 8 inch cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs till frothy and add the oil; whisk to combine. Add the sweet potato puree and whisk well. Add the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and spices and whisk.
In a separate bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour mix, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring by hand just enough to make a smooth batter. Pour into the prepared cake pan.

2 packages Active Dry Yeast
2 cups Warm Water
1/4 cup Oil/Shortening
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Egg
2 t. Salt
6 - 6 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
6 T. Butter or Margarine
3/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
1 T Cinnamon
3/4 cups Walnuts
1.5 cups Maple Syrup
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add shortening, sugar, egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes, adding more flour if needed. Divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 16"x10" rectange. On each rectangle, spread 2 T butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 t Cinnimon and 1/4 cup walnuts. Pour syrup into the bottom of 3 greased 9" round baking pans. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Tightly roll up each rectangle, starting with the short side. Slice each roll into 10 pieces; place over syrup. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, invert onto a wire rack. Yield 2.5 dozen.
