gluten-free Croissants-- How Do I Convert To gluten-free?

Hi all!

Tonight I attempted gluten-free croissants, but I tried to make them CF too by using margerine instead of the butter, cottage cheese and cream cheese in the recipe below. Bad bummer. Bad!

So what could I try to substitute for the dairy in these? Thoughts?

Here is Kate's recipe:

gluten-free Croissants

Recipe makes 14 small-medium croissants.

Ingredients:

1 stick of butter, (8 Tablespoons) slightly softened

1 stick of butter, frozen

1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon gluten-free cottage cheese

1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon gluten-free cream cheese

1 cup gluten-free Flour Mix (rice-based or sorghum-based)

2 Tablespoons of sweet rice flour + 1

I've never heard of a gluten-free croissant that flakes like the real thing. If you achieve it, let us know.

I haven't tried it yet but this looks promising but I'm not sure what you could sub for the sour cream and ricotta. If you can do soy then you might be able to make it work. Soy or Coconut yogurt might work for the sour cream and there are several soy cheeses.

Thanks Janet!

I actually have a box of better batter on the way from Amazon. When it gets here I will try the soy and cocnut yogurt-- that's a pretty good idea!

I used the nearly normal flour for mine. But I basically got something very like a dense bad biscuit-- the flavour of a KFC biscuit but without the moisture or rise. A margerine lump.

gluten-free croissants seemed too good to be true-- but CF too? Is it a chimera? An impossibility?

Sigh.

Let me know how it works out! Here are a few dairy free ricotta subs:

      It's possible, as there are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:    Also, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Perhaps you could bring you own? Not sure, but worth a try.

      I received my ANA test results - negative.  I'm thinking it was infection, was put on antibiotics for suspected sibo at the time blood test was taken. Significant improvements from taking them even while eating gluten.

      Thanks again. I've actually convinced my local butcher shop to start carrying Ghostfish gluten-free beer. It's not bad! But you won't often find it at a ski lodge.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:
