[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is also allergic and it's hard as hell to avoid soy. It's a good thing I have the time to read every label and then make even common foods  from scratch. Want a sandwich? No problem- give me about 4hours to make the bread and I'll be right with you.

I'm the pp above you (also have soy-allergic child). I don't know if your DD has any other allergies, but here are some good options we've been able to find. I do make my own sometimes, but it's a quick-bread recipe (1 45-60 min rise, no kneading). I can post the recipe later if you're interested. 
Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Tuscan-style panne (sp?) - the non-whole wheat has a soy/dairy warning, the whole wheat version does not
Trader Joe's brand British-style English Muffins
Archer Farms (Target brand) Take-and-bake rolls and Ciabatta bread (found in the produce area)

You are awesome- thanks! I'd love your quick bread recipe. I've also found (yesterday) that the LaBrea bread brand at Harris Teeter has some take-and-bake French rolls that are good. It's regular old sandwich loaf bread that's difficult. DD is allergic to dairy and soy, so I'm getting pretty good substituting other fats for butter and 'milks' for cow milk. Found out today that soy lecithin from a few chocolate chips caused a reaction, so we're not chancing more. [/quote]
Our son is also allergic to dairy in addition to soy. Sure does make grocery shopping an adventure! Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips are completely free of the top 8 allergens and they taste like "regular" chocolate chips.

Here's the quick bread recipe. It's actually an English muffin style bread, but our son will eat it with PB&J, as toast with butter, with soup, etc. The best cooking spray I've found so far is from Williams Sonoma - it's soy free (hurray!) and works really well.  http://www.williams-sonoma.com/m/products/bak-klene-zt-nonstick-baking-spray/

Ingredients 
1-2 tsp yellow cornmeal (optional, IMO)
2-2 1/2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 C quick cooking oats
1 package active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 C skim milk (I use plain coconut milk)
1 Tbl honey
1/4 tsp baking soda

1. Spray 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and coat with cornmeal (every time I tried this with olive oil the bread stuck)
2. Combine 1 1/2 C flour, oats, yeast, and salt in large bowl
3. Heat milk and honey until warm (110-120 degrees) in small saucepan; stir in baking soda
4. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, mixing until smooth. Stir enough of remaining 1 C flour to make a thick batter. (I've found that I usually don't need that much more flour since coconut milk is thicker than skim milk - can add a little more milk to thin the mixture if wanted)
5. Pour into prepared pan. Let rise, covered, in a warm place until double in size, 45-60 min
6. Bake at 400 degrees until bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped, 25-30 min. 
7. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack

Can make it cinnamon raisin bread by omitting the cornmeal and adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 C of raisins to the batter. [/quote]

That sounds delicious- thank you so much! I'll try it this weekend, and perhaps the second recipe link you shared too. DD likes English muffins, so the bread is likely to be a hit. Love the King Arthur site for regular baking so will give it a whirl. This recipe is good, but it's the 4-hr kind:  http://carpeseason.com/whole-wheat-sandwich-bread-attempt-2/

I think I need a few more hours in the week to cook and bake so I can stay on top of this special diet....[/quote]
