There are a lot of differences in technique from regular baking that I'll have to practice. Bread is more of a batter than a dough, etc...very strange to me. I'm still reading up on GF ingredients, recipes, etc. I want to make torts, pizza dough, and bread this summer. We'll see how it works out.<br /><br /> I'm also trying to slowly build up a variety of flours (I just got some rice flour this shopping trip) and finding them in bulk is more challenging than I had hoped. I hate paying the prices for the pre-packaged gluten-free flour mixes or even just the individual flours - it's at least three times as expensive!<br /><br />Where do you find guar/xanthum gum? I didn't look at the store this month because I was focused on getting the flours. Can you even get those at a regular grocery store?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853932991842570864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150935384291277639.post-68293189300143926372012-06-04T10:20:21.356-07:002012-06-04T10:20:21.356-07:00Becky - now that we know Briar has celiac - you sh...Becky - now that we know Briar has celiac - you should try experimenting with diff, gluten-free flours: sorghum, coconut, rice, graham (garbanzo), fava, tapioca & of course cornmeal. The guar & xanthum gums are a bit pricey, but the flours seem to bring an extra flavor to the recipes that's really nice. (think coconut flour for crepes or cakes).KatyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365478863335005613noreply@blogger.com
