    You can use potato starch or arrowroot starch in place of tapioca flour... which is essentially just a starch. Though, if you can find it, Tapioca Flour is really a great addition to your gluten free baking.

    I posted this recipe a few weeks ago. It's from the Bob's Red Mill site. It uses coconut flour and rice flour, but the biscuits are out of this world- flakey, soft, creamy! PLUS they don't taste like coconut, so they would be good for any recipe. I found the flour at a local store, but you might have to order it direct. I would try finding it local first...

    To replace teff flour you can use the same amounts of brown (or white) rice flour. To replace millet or amaranth use sorghum or quinoa flour in the same amounts. I hope that helps.

    It's hard to find things to keep you full. The key is protein and fiber. I eat the Bob's gluten-free Mighty Tasty Cereal, which keeps me full for a few hours (not sure if it would last 6- that's a long time). I also cook up whole grain quinoa or whole grain teff and add some sugar (or honey) which will keep you going for a long time. Quinoa is great because...

    I think you should definately ask her before baking a gluten-free cake- as well as let her know that you don't want to bake a gluten cake. Brides can be very particular when you least expect it- even when you know them well. I would ask first and remind her (if she forgot or doesn't know) that you are now gluten-free- she will likely feel good that you asked...

    I am not sure how to tell if Baking Soda or Baking Powder have gone bad- other than having your baked good not rise. Your cookies might be flat if they were over mixed or if the dough sat too long. Sometimes leaving can react early, which would cause a flat cookie. To avoid this, try mixing the cookie dough until just combined and placing unused dough in...

    I found this recipe on the Bob's site after I learned a little bit about coconut flour. Coconut Flour is a fairly new thing (or new to me) and I'm not really sure what to do with it. I found this recipe was just so good that I wanted to share it. I just made them one day and liked them so much that I made them again the next day. Just so flakey and easy!...

    Since you're just getting started, you might try a flour that is already mixed to the right blend. You could try the Bob's mix (www.bobsredmill.com) or Authentic Food's Multi-flour Blend (mentioned in a different thread- baking success) that works well. There are recipes for blended flours. I had a lot of trouble when I first started getting the right combination...

    I like a lot of the sites listed- I find I do a lot of converting "bad" recipes to be gluten-free myself. I have found some great recipes at www.allrecipes.com and at www.bobsredmill.com. Some of the recipes in Carol Fenster's books are free on her website- www.savorypalate.com. This site has some good recipes too, Open Original Shared Link

    We really like the Bob's gluten-free Pancake Mix. It's just like buttermilk pancakes and they bake up nice and fluffy! I tried them first and we've liked them so much, I haven't bothered to try any others.

    We use Bob's Red Mill flours all of the time. Sometimes we buy Ener-g, but I am happy with the Bob's all purpose mix- it just saves time. They have the best brownie mix ever!!! I know some people can have problems with Bob's, but we never have and they have so many choices.

    I have been through this same situation- This is my defination based on various answers: Potato Starch is a very fine, starchy flour (like Tapioca Starch). It can be called Potato Starch/Flour and Potato Starch. It is used to thicken sauces or in baking. Potato Flour is simply dehyrdated, ground potatoes. It has a strong flavor of potatoes and DOES NOT...

    I use Bob's Xanthan Gum all of the time and my daughter has never had a reaction (and she's good about telling me). It's really an essential ingredient- I had bad cookies one after another until I wised-up and started using the gum.
  14. GlutenFreeGirlie
    I have contacted the company direct several times and am assured that the products are produced seperately and batch tested. My daughter does not have reactions to their products, though I am sure it does depend on your level of sensitivity. It's so hard to find products that are reliable that I will keep using them until I see (or hear about) a reaction...
  15. GlutenFreeGirlie
    I use Xanthan Gum with no problems, but I have heard of other people being sensitive to it. I have called and spoken with people at Bob's and they have assured me their products are safe and produced separately. Some people are just so sensitive that even if a product tests below 20 ppm, it is still too much. It sure would be nice if they would get some legislation...

    Here try this. I'm not sure if it will work for making a house, but it seems like it should. Just be sure to use gluten-free spices. Good luck!! Wheat-Free Gingerbread Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups Amaranth Flour 1/2 cup Arrowroot Starch 1 tsp. Baking Soda 1/2 tsp. Salt 3/4 tsp. Ginger 1 tsp. Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Allspice 2/3 cup Warm Water...

    Have you looked at the recipes available at www.bobsredmill.com- I have tried several of the Amaranth Flour recipes they have. Here are a few of my favorites: Amaranth Spicy Pumpkin Muffins Ingredients: 1-3/4 cups sifted Amaranth Flour 1/4 cup Arrowroot Starch 2 tsp Baking Soda 1 tsp Cream of Tartar 1-1/2 tsp Cinnamon 2 Tb Fresh Lemon...

    Thanks for the help! I have heard that there is a de-fatted version available, which is much lower in fat and high in fiber. If I find out any more info I will let everyone know. I was just so intrigued as it opens up a few more possibilities!
  19. GlutenFreeGirlie
    Does anyone know what to do with coconut flour? I heard about it from a friend as a new flour that we can use, but I'm not real sure what to do with it. I would love some help!

    I read this in an article and thought I would pass it along~ Bards Tale Beer (a company in New York) is now producing gluten free beer made from malted sorghum and roasted buckwheat. It's only available on the east coast right now, but hopefully it will be available to all of us soon. I miss beer so much and am glad to know that I might have more someday...

    I was suprised to read these comments as I was sure bob's red mill was safe. I have contacted the company and they have assured me that the products are tested and produced in a seperate facility. They even offered to test any flours I wanted to be sure they were free of contamination! They have a lot of recipes that I use on their website! I think they...

    Hi! If you want an active dry yeast or nutritional yeast that are produced gluten-free, I use bob's red mill yeast. They sell it in my local grocery stores and it is safe!
  23. GlutenFreeGirlie
    I really enjoy using Carol Fenster's "Special Diet Solutions". We have to be gluten and dairy free- this book has a lot of great recipes that are also free of yeast, refined sugar and eggs! Bette Hagman's books are good too!
  24. GlutenFreeGirlie
    You can find whole grains for sale in many places online and in grocery stores. I use Bob's Red Mill brand, but that's my personal preference. They sell a variety of beans and seeds which can be ground into flours- and they are safe for us because they produce them seperately!! You can find flour mills online as well, or in your local kitchen-type stores...
  25. GlutenFreeGirlie
    I found three great pizza crust recipes when I was looking for gluten free recipes online that might work for you. I haven't tried them yet, as we are still ok with yeast, but I thought they might help you out. I look at Bob's Red Mill's recipes a lot, as they have a variety of gluten-free recipes and products. These two are by Bette Hagman Thick Gluten...
