More Forigiving Than All Purpose: Milleranth Mix!

[dogear]

I've developed a new milleranth mix, that is even better, more versatile and more forgiving than ANY of the all purpose wheat mixes!!!

4 cups of millet flour

2 cups of Amaranth flour

2.5 cups of tapioca flour

2.5 cups of cornstarch

3 Tbs xanthan gum

This can be used totally interchangably with white all purpose flour in ALMOST ANY old recipe with no mofications. For intuitive baking of pizza crusts and bread, I've found it to be EVEN MORE FORGIVING than wheat flour. You can almost kneed it gently like you used to with bread dough. Sometimes poking it with a fork makes you think you could have a "throw in the air pizza crust". No need to add additional gelatin, or eggs/egg substitutes.

I make bread or pizza crusts as follows.

1.5 cups of milleranth mix,

0.5 tsp sea salt

2 tsp of sugar

I just put the fast rising yeast in 0.75 cups of warm water for ten minutes. When the yeast is well disolved I add the dry ingredients, and 2 tsp of melted butter. I just let it rise for half an hour. Punch and spread. It sort of feels like you could knead it like wheat dough, but not quite. And bake the pizza or bread!!!

It can be mixed in half with any whole grain gluten-free flour you want for a cake, pancake, muffin, scone or cookie. You can use teff, rice, mesquitue, more millet or amaranth, wild rice, cornflour or whatever you want, and it will be totally forgiving.

It is also mostly whole grain, but has the softness of white flour in finished products. Very nice indeed!!!
