It sounds great, I am not going to stop trying until I find a recipe that works!<br /> Thanks much!<br /> Jill </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/wheat-free-flour-mix-for-yeast-risen-bread#post-458 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:12:13 +0000 McJohn 458@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Finally managed to nail the wheat-free flour mix for yeast-risen bread. That only took since October 2002. The commercial mixes and recommended homemade mixes (starting with Betty Hagman) always had so much starch in them that I really didn't want to use them: what's the good of removing wheat and replacing it with powdered calories?</p> <p>We use the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=215045&amp;u=412167&amp;m=25930&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=" title="buy gluten free blanched almond flour online" rel="nofollow">Honeyville Grain blanched almond flour</a>: it's become a pantry staple and I get better at baking with it every time I try something new.</p> <p>* * *</p> <p>All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix</p> <p>2 cups Almond flour<br /> 1 cup Sorghum flour<br /> 1 cup Brown rice flour<br /> 1/2 cup Tapioca or potato starch<br /> 1 cup Powdered milk<br /> 1 Tbsp Xanthan gum</p> <p>Sift, mix, mix, sift, mix, sift. Store in labeled plastic bags in refrigerator. Use in one-for-one proportions in recipes that call for regular flour. Probably a little macho for anything like angel-food cake.</p> <p>* * *</p> <p>Of course, this is the most appalling form of cheat: I'm just putting in powdered milk where a lot of the starch would go. To make it worse, I use gelatin in the bread itself--it helps the xanthan gum to make the canopy for the carbon dioxide from the yeast. If you're not vegan or sensitive to milk proteins, this might be a good mix for you. </p>
