Can Potateo Flour Be Used As Direct Sub For Wheat?

This summer we will be staying with my sister in law who is allergic to both rice and corn, and we are trying to figure out what we can make for bread/etc while we are there. With Rice, corn and wheat all being out, any suggestion? Maybe use just potateo flour as a direct sub for wheat?

Any other suggestions?

I can't give you a direct substitute or recipe but you definitely do not want to use potato flour as a one-for-one sub. For one thing, I don't think you'd like the taste.

Are you saying I can make a mix of those items in equal quanties, and then I can just sub it for flour?

I recently used potato flour to make a white sauce (butter, flour, milk) and it was very good. The flour required was a small amount, so I'm not sure about substituting it for something as substantial as bread.

Bette Hagman's recipe for a good flour is not equal parts. Not sure what the amounts are as I don't have the book in front of me... but I do know there's a "recipe" for her usual flour.

I think it would be too light to sub 1:1 for wheat flour.

Maybe I am trying to hard. Just stumbled on "Mana form Anna" in another therad here, and found a mix on thier site Open Original Shared Link with the following indgredients:

Tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, chickpea flour, navy bean flour, pinto bean flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, MontinaTM (Indian rice grass also named perennial bunch grass, achnatherum hymnodies), maple sugar, xanthan gum, salt, gluten free yeast.

I dont see any Rice, Corn or gluten in that. If that actully tastes good, I could just order that mix and us that in place of any bread products, and use the above mentioned "Bette Hagman's recipe" for any flouring type things (IE Nuggets, etc)

Man, at least the diabetic is not travling with us, that might make food plans completly impossible! :mellow:

I use sorghum flour for breading chicken for frying, etc. It works really well too. :)

there are a lot of non-rice, non-corn, non-gluten flours including:

sorgum (may have cross reactivity with corn, so test carefully)

millet

quinoa

bean (many types)

amaranth

soy

nut (many types)

tapioca

There's a real good recipe for chicken nuggets that you can make and freeze so you can always have for kids that in the Special Diets for Special Kids book. I'll look and see if I made a copy. Betty Hagman has the best recipe books for people with gluten, dairy and nut intolerances. If one of the ingredients will not work for you then she'll put what to substitute it with.

I'm a HUGE fan of Manna from Anna bread mix. I make it in English muffin rounds and have awesome rolls for sandwiches. It holds up better than any other bread I've tried!

Manna From Anna is wonderful, it tastes and "feels"just like wheat bread. If you like wheat bread, you will love this.

You cannot directly substitute any one gluten-free flour for wheat, you must use a blend and don't forget the xanthan gum!!

I highly recommend (and I know celiac3270 will probably second this) that you visit another message board. It's at www.delphiforums.com, in the sidebar click on Health & Wellness and you will see Celiac Disease Support Group come up. There is a WEALTH of cooking and baking knowledge in there that I've seen nowhere else. I am quite positive there is someone in there with exactly the mix you are looking for.

Hey VydorScope,

Here's a great recipe that I love and you can freeze. It comes out really crispy and delicious. I got it out of Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Kitchen book.

Fried Chicken/Nuggets

1 frying chicken 2 1/2 - 3 pounds

1/2 cup cornstarch - Substitute with other flour for your sister-in-law

1/2 cup potato starch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon xantham gum

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)

For Frying

2 cups oil

Rinse chicken & set aside. Place remaining ingredients into large freezer bag or paper bag. Shake to mix well.

Heat oil in frying pan to 375 degrees

One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag and coat well with flour mixture. Press flour mixture firmly onto chicken if needed.

Place coated chicken into frying pan. Repeat for remaining pieces of chicken. Fry on each side for approximately 15 minutes. No pink should be seen in the meat; or, if you have a meat thermometer, the chicken should reach a temperature of 185 degrees.

Alternatively, chicken may be deep fried for approximately 20 minutes.

I'll add to this. If your child, like my child, he really loves McDonald's chicken nuggets. Melonie from a couple other sites I am on posted a great recipe, and low and behold it IS just like McDonald's!! It's simply crushed plain potato chips (I toss mine in the food processor and crush 'em up good) and GROUND chicken (like hamburger) DO NOT use ground turkey, it doesn't work for some reason.

Anyway, I make little balls out of the ground chicken, roll it in egg (or anything that will make it stick) and then in the crushed chips...then I put them on a baking sheet, flatten it like a nugget, and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Walla. I can't keep these suckers in the house!

Do you cook the chicken before grinding? And how do you grind it, you have some kind of grinder?

It's not precooked. I buy it already ground (it's pre-packaged in the meat section of our grocery store...right with the ground turkey and the hamburger usually...but I do know others who just have the butcher at the grocery store grind up some chicken breasts for them.)

Yes, they're so good. I haven't ground the chicken, but I just roll the egg and potato chips. Will have to try it ground, but any way you do it, it tastes great. Be forewarned: it looks very strange, possibly unappetizing the first time...once you know what they taste like, though, you really don't care :lol::D

I just bolded the time and temp for you, Vincent (from Bridget's post)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
