French Laundry Gluten-Free Flour Blend!

The French Laundry is one of the top restaurants in the U.S. - it is incredible. Anyway, they have come out with a AP gluten-free flour blend called C4C (cup for cup). Pretty cool, albeit a bit pricey at $19.95 for 3 lb at Williams Sonoma. The ingredients are not unique (except it does include milk powder which is in many recipes but not all) but it still intrigues me - wonder what the ratios are?

"It is a blend of flours from white and brown rice, tapioca and potatoes, with potato starch, cornstarch and milk powder"

Too bad about the milk powder. Those of us unable to have milk won't be able to try it. It actually sounds similar to Pamela's baking and pancke mix which has milk in it too.

I know. :( I used to use milk powder in my bread recipes but cannot any longer. I liked the structure/texture of doughs that milk powder gives. I have never bought flour blends as I do up my own but sometimes wonder whether there are actually decent commercial blends out there!

I really like King Arthur multi-purpose flour. I mostly use it for their pizza crust recipe but recently I made gluten-free popovers with it and they were Amazing!

As far as the milk powder I wonder if there is a substitute that would give the same properties that milk gives? Maybe almond flour for the protein? or powdered eggs or gelatin? I'll have to experiement someday. :D

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
