| 1 | Hi, My husband has just been diagnosed Celiacs - and I would love to hear the trials and tribulations and tips for baking and bread making. alibeli - 2019-03-20 20:07:00 |
| 2 | I have a granddaughterwith celiacs her mother discovered there is a lot of g f food and ingredients in countdown supermarkets and once you get over the shock of it living and coping with it is a breeze mouse265 - 2019-03-20 20:22:00 |
| 3 | I make my own gluten free flour rather than buy the pre made ones. Most shop gluten free flour is rice flour. I use a blend and it works well in all baking. I have bought the bread mixes but find them to be rather wet. cgvl - 2019-03-20 21:55:00 |
| 4 | Supermarkets stock the Edmonds and Free from Gluten ranges of plain flour, and self raising flour. I continue to use my old baking recipes and just swap out the flours, baking powder etc with GF versions. With biscuits and crunchy slices I often replace about a portion of the plain GF flour with rice flour, for extra crunch. Check that your spices don't contain gluten fillers. I use the Mrs Rogers range of herbs and spices now. You'll be reading labels much more closely now but once you've settled on a brand that's 'safe' and that gets you results you're happy with, it'll get much easier. ed65 - 2019-03-21 06:48:00 |
| 5 | cgvi, would you share your flour mix please? I would rather make my own than buy the ready made ones. jan2242 - 2019-03-21 09:35:00 |
| 6 | Sure I have posted it elsewhere on here but couldn't find it for you last night. It's one by Luane Kohnke. The following makes a large amount for lots of baking : cgvl - 2019-03-21 10:13:00 |
| 7 | I buy the above ingredients at either the local Indian bulk shop or health food shop. I'm not sure what our Bin Inn has. I find the Indian shop much cheaper although it doesn't seem to have the Guar gum, so I get that from the health food shop. Xanthan gum is twice the price of guar gum.

| 8 | I just swap out flour with g flour or baking mix. Bakels make a nice Artisan bread mix. I believe BinInn have a gf bread mix that a friend uses in his bread maker and adds different flavours to. mica3 - 2019-03-21 20:10:00 |

| 11 | Try this website - I can recommend the keto bread. easy to make and very like a wheat bread bun, makes a decent panini type bread but not a slice-able loaf. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes/baking. I get my almond flour from Binn Inn, don't use the almond meal from Countdown, it's not as good. hers.nz - 2019-11-27 22:27:00 |

| 13 | Oh how i miss soft delicious doughy breads or buns. I got some gluten free flour and made a banana cake...it was hideous. I'm keen to try again, has anyone got some tried and tested great cake recipes that maybe my family wouldnt tell either. molly37 - 2019-11-29 20:06:00 |
| 14 | I will bump a thread I started recently about GF baking - there’s a link in there to a GF black bean brownie which is really delicious sarahb5 - 2019-11-29 20:20:00 |
| 15 | For baking I found the 'Bakels Gluten Free Health Flour' very good in as far as cookies, sponges, cornbread and waffles goes. Never tried to make a cake with it. wheelmann - 2019-12-03 15:12:00 |
| 16 | Hi. I have just now taken a GF loaf out of my breadmaker, of course on GF cycle. It came out high, crusty outside, soft and fluffy inside and really nice. I used sparkling water. It had to be tepid so put the amount needed into the microwave for a few seconds. I am now on my second piece and wow! Had the crust first, it was lovely and crusty (as bread should be). The next slice was fluffy. I saw this tip in an online recipe. The other 3 loaves before this were like cardboard and just as tasty. Oh I also sprayed olive oil on the top of the loaf towards the end of the rise cycle and put some sesame seeds on the top they didn't all stick. I am now on my 3rd slice with maple syrup. Very yummy. Before this I was buying GF store bread. Edited by dogbus at 6:45 pm, Tue 3 Dec dogbus - 2019-12-03 18:34:00 |
