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 attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
