    I have no experience with no-gluten English muffins, but if you want to make bagels, I swear by Open Original Shared Link. I make it using xanthan gum rather than the other suggested possible binders, and the results are not just that usual "this is pretty good for not using wheat flour" experience you are probably used to. They come out darn near indistinguishable...

    Tofu on its own is nearly flavorless. It mostly just picks up flavors from the other things it is cooked with. You can throw in chunks of tofu into most any dish or sauce, and you have extra protein. Granted, that's not the most elegant approach to using the stuff, but it does get the job done. Again, there are lots of sites that have recipes and suggestions...

    Droooool....and I don't even have to avoid gluten, myself!

    So your cemetary cake dies, huh? (Insert pained groan here.) There was a recent thread similar to your question here a few days ago. Here is its link. There are some helpful suggestions in that thread you may find interesting.

    I just put in "vegetarian protein" into Google a moment ago, and came up with quite a few sites that have sections devoted to listing foods that are not meat based but still contain significant amounts of protein. Beans are of course the main thing that they mention on most of these sites, but there are a lot of other things listed as well. Try Googling...

    My mental approach to baking is pretty much based on the philosophy and science of Alton Brown's show and books. And I do think it really is true, and why some people happen to be great cooks, but don't necessarily become good at baking, or even vice versa. Yes, both situations involve food, but cooking is harder to mess up and more open to interpretation...

    I have not yet tried this recipe, and it takes a lot of work, clearly, but it sounds promising. I've made other gluten free donut recipes, but have been less than impressed with the results, even as "cake" type donuts go. This recipe promises to be close to the normal glazed donut we are accustomed to: Open Original Shared Link

    I swear by the recipe Land O' Lakes published for gluten free chocolate chip cookies. They're every bit as good as "normal" ones, or, as someone wrote above, maybe even better. That recipe is easily found with a little Googling, so take a look! Brownies use very little flour compared to the ratio of their other ingredients, so they don't get affected...

    Roux isn't too hard to make, so long as you keep the heat under control and don't overload the pan with too much of either ingredient. If it's too oily/greasy, add in a little extra flour at a time. If it's too dry, add in more of your fat in small increments. As it's cooking, roux should be both loose and flowing, but also have some body to it. If it...

    Rice can take a looooong time in a crock pot, as the temperature tends to be much lower than when you are using a pot with a flame going underneath it. Even if the stuff in a crock pot is bubbling, the bottom of the pot is quite cooler than the bottom of a saucepan that has that lovely blue flame blasting away at it. Also, maybe I'm just bitter and...

    As noted above, you don't really need a yogurt maker machine to make yogurt. If anything, I subscribe to the Alton Brown school of thought on those machines...they're "uni-taskers," that only do one thing, and take up space and create clutter while you're not using them. I've made yogurt a few times by simply pouring a carton of milk into a glass bowl...

    Another chain that offers gluten free pizza is Pizza Fusion. I've had it once; it was a little pricey but quite good. Fresh out of the oven, it is indistinguishable from regular wheat dough based crust. It gets a little less stable as it cools, but still is quite good overall. I recommend it. They have a fair number of locations in several states.

    I've made pizza at home from scratch several times, and worked for quite a while for a pizzeria, back in the day. I second the suggestion that using a pizza stone may help. A big problem with making pizza at home is that home ovens just don't get up to the same temperature as commercial pizza ovens, which are at around 650 to 700 degrees. That kind of heat...

    Hehehe...point taken! The "you" I was referring to was the original poster, but I get your take on it, too! I'm one of those freaks who enjoys kitchen/cooking/food work, though, so if I can do it myself I tend to do so! There is definitely something to be said for the ease of just buying something off the shelf, too! I'm guessing store bought clarified...

    It's not difficult at all to make your own clarified butter, if it is an option for you, and if it's too expensive to buy it that way. Here's the simplest method: Open Original Shared Link
