What about wheat-free, gluten-free lembas? No, I'm not kidding... seriously, this is a plea for help. I'm allergic to gluten and wheat and dairy. I've been hankering for a while now to find a good bagel substitute. (I **really** miss bagels. Like Bolco does.)

So... Breadlike products can be baked with a combination of bean flour, corn starch, and tapioca flour, with xanthan gum. I've made bread before, with reasonable results. And I look at those Lembas in the movie, and my mouth waters. Can it be done? Which recipe would you use? I'm not interested in raisins, exotic fruit, whatnot. Just a basic, simple, enjoyable bread. Honey would be good to add. But I have NO idea where to begin.

Does anybody have any suggestions? (please...?)
