Anybody have a recipe? Obviously I know it's never going to be like the "real" thing, but I can settle for a delicious substitute.

I just saw a recipe online for the Kronut.  (coissant/ doughnut)  It had no eggs in the recipe and called for bread flour.  I think most gluten free flour blends end up being a bit denser.  Huge drawbacks for me.....  It takes more than a day to make theses (12 hour chill/proof time on the first day),  and deep frying these,  very vague about finishing glaze, and it suggested experimenting. 

 

Well here's the problem kronut was developed after we have been gluten free so long I don't even know if I would like it for all the work!!!?

 

It was a front page top moving article on MSN. can't get your hands on kronuts; make your own.

Croissants were the first thing I thought of when I realized that I would never eat gluten again. I might have cried a little...

I seriously don't have the skills to even attempt this but it sounds fabulous.

I was never much of a croissant person, but I found the recipe Abby shared and if I was going to make them it's the one I would use. It explains every step in great detail also so a first timer shouldn't have too much trouble. You would want to read through the entire recipe though before starting so you are sure of what you are getting in to and make sure you have everything you need. Once you've made them once successfully as is, you could play with them and make them chocolate. Or simply settle for a chocolate glaze.

 

There's also this, but other than the shape you cut them into I highly doubt they'd be very croissant like without putting in the effort.

Croissants are such fun to make. Fiddly but worth it. This thread has inspired me to make the recipe Abby posted.

If that's the recipe you would make, that probably officially makes it the best option. Always nice to have such an expert opinion.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
