I was just wondering if I could have a few opinions? I am trying to do tons of baking this summer. I have tried mixing up a few of my own gluten-free flour mixes, but they won't work with every recipe. I am looking for a flour that will work with everything and will taste great. I have seen King Arthur , Jules and Tom sawyer.. Which is the best?I need a flour that will work with regular recipes, and I can just sub my gluten-free flour for the other stuff.

Help, Please!

My mom makes me buckwheat bread with buckwheat flour. Its actually really good and has a decent consistency for a gluten-free bread. I love its earthy flavor.

Me too, I much prefer it to other gluten-free flours. It's great for crepes, tortilla type roll-ups and gyoza pot stickers, Ravioli and much more.

I prefer Bob's Red Mill. Works really well for a 1:1 sub.

i use authentic foods multi blend gluten-free flour mix. i have made quick breads, muffins, pancakes and cookies. i also use it in recipes that need flour as a thickener. i use it cup for cup. there are also several people on this board that swear by better batter flour.

My favorite so far: Tom Sawyers cut with sorghum -- 1:1 ratio. Makes awesome cakes, muffins and cookies. For breads, I use mixes. :)

I like Tom Sawyers cut with a few different things too. usually we use about 75% TS and the rest whatever is left over from something else, Sorghum, Quinoa, buckwheat -- even tef.

Authentic Foods Classic Blend is THE BEST, you cannot tell the difference between this and "regular" baked goods using this flour! I've made cakes, muffins, cookies with it and I feel they are better than my old recipes. You will need a small amount of xanthum gum with it, I can't remember the proportions but it's in Annaleise Roberts' book, you will be very happy with this flour.

I haven't use this but have eaten muffins and cookies used with Namaste gluten-free flour mix. I was told by the baker they used it cup for cup with their wheat flour recipes. good luck

I use the recipe in Annalise Robert's book . . . the ingredients are the same and I assume the proportions are the same for the Authentic Foods Classic Blend.

Here are the proportions/recipe

2 Cups Brown Rice Flour (extra fine ground)

2/3 Cup Potato Starch

1/3 Cup Tapioca Flour

Authentic Foods is the only company that I know that makes the fine-ground brown rice flour which makes sense that they would end up making a blend based on Annalise Roberts' book. The brown rice flour is pretty expensive but it makes all the difference in the world to the quality of the end product (ie, it's not gritty). I make up a huge batch and store the majority of it in my overflow fridge and keep a 4 cup container in my pantry.

I use this in almost all of my recipes. That being said, I still make substitutions/variations depending on what I'm making. The cake recipe that I use the most uses a fine ground white rice flour (bought at an Asian grocery) and potato starch. On many recipes, I substitute a small portion of the flour with Pamela's baking mix. I don't know why (the almond meal maybe?) but I feel like it helps with overall moisture and shelf-life of my baked goods. I love Pamela's in general (for pancakes and as an ingredient) but to bake with it on its own yields a tasty but dense/heavyish product . . . OK for cookies but not for cupcakes.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
