Need baking help


Gwendolyn Sue

Recommended Posts

Need baking advice. In addition to having celiac disease, I developed food sensitivities to many other foods. Therefore, I have to make any baked items from scratch. Almond flour and Amaranth flours are the only 2 flours I can use. The problem is that, although the batters rise properly, when they bake, the middle sinks way down and it is also hard to get the interior sufficiently done without overcooking the crust. This is true for cakes, quick breads and yeast breads. For the yeast bread, I have tried tenting it with foil about half way through the baking time, which helps a bit with not burning the crust while waiting for the interior to get done, but the crust is still overdone, interior underdone, and worst of all, sunk in the middle. Any advice?

I’ve had the same problem with cakes. I don’t think there is enough protein structure to maintain the shape. I will often add an extra egg and make cupcakes instead.

You might look at https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/

Nicole has lots of good info, substitutions, and knows gluten-free baking and pitfalls well. She has lots of free stuff on her site, and is very responsive via contact on her site.

I always point people to this bread recipe, and see the comments as well, as it was developed by a scientist:

      Restaurant had a ‘GF’ pizza option… then whispered, ‘But we use the same oven.’ 🍕⚰️ Share your worst ‘gluten-free, but not really’ moments!

      I have not made my own juices but have made my own granola copycat recipe from Trader Joes Turmeric ginger granola. Have you made your own juices? blending vs cold pressed what is better?

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.
