combination with rye when baking bread. Combining flours ensures the loaf
will rise well.
Semolina flour – Semolina is ground from hard wheat. It is pale yellow in
colour and resembles corn meal. Semolina flour has a very high gluten or
protein content. It is used in both making pasta and bread.
Sorghum flour – Sorghum is a millet-like grain that is very nutritious.
Sorghum flour imparts a faint, sweet flavour to gluten-free products.
It needs to be combined with other flours for baking.
Potato starch – Great supplementary flour to use in gluten-free baking.
Potato starch is also used as a thickener for sauces and soups.
Potato flour – Heavier then potato starch, potato flour can be used in a
similar way but it does carry more of a potato taste.
Cornstarch – A good combining ingredient in gluten-free baking – its taste
is undetectable.
Amaranth flour – High in both protein and fiber, amaranth flour is also a
good source of calcium. It has a nutty flavour and combines well with other
gluten-free flours.
Quinoa flour – Quinoa, considered the most nutritious grain, is high in
protein, calcium and iron.
Xanthan gum – Used as a thickening agent in gluten-free baking, xanthan
gum is used as a binder and to retain moisture. Xanthan gum also adds to the
volume of the bread. Can be replaced by guar gum. (Tip: Xanthan gum is
also a good and natural way to keep blended vinaigrettes, dressings and
marinades emulsified after blending.)
Gelatin – Although it is not necessary in gluten-free baking, gelatin adds
protein and gives elasticity to bread. (If you are a vegetarian, you may not
wish to use gelatin, as it is derived from meat.)
Tapioca flour – Grain-free flour that is derived from cassava root.
Tapioca flour is starchy and imparts a slightly sweet flavour.
Cider vinegar – or dough enhancer (powder containing ascorbic acid) –
improves texture of the bread as well as shelf life.
