gluten-free Flour Question

[firefightersgal]

Do you notice that a certain gluten-free flour or common ingredient has a weird aftertaste? I notice it a lot in Bob's Red Mill cookie and bread mixes. I baked a loaf of bread mix that had so much potential. It had a great texture and looked beautiful...but it had that dreadful aftertaste. Do you know what I'm talking about?

I suspect it's the bean flour that you dislike.

It could be the tapioca. They had a bad batch last winter/fall. They replaced mine for me and the new batch was fine.

I agree. I dislike all of the bean flours. Some people (me included) really notice the beany flavor, while others don't seem to taste it all.

I learned very quickly that I don't like anything with bean flour in the ingredients. I can taste the beans very strongly. I like the rice/tapioca/potato type combinations better.

We react to Bob's RM Flour ... And we think millet flour has an after taste...

Have you tried sorghum and buckwheat (which is not wheat )?? I incorporate sorghum into all my mixes for the nutrition (and I can't do soy or potato), and I also use quite a bit of buckwheat in breads especially. I shy away from millet and amaranth, avoid quinoa and cannot have beans.

I use Tom Sawyer for baking now. It's more expensive but worth it to me. Before I used that my favorite blend was sorghum, tapioca, and potato starch. I actually liked that one quite a bit.
