Delicious Recipes for Gluten Free Bread
This lens will talk about recipes for gluten free bread, both for baking in the oven and for the bread machine, and some of the things you need to know about baking gluten free.
Over 3 million Americans have been found to have some sort of sensitivity to wheat or gluten. Whether its from celiac disease or a wheat or gluten allergy, migraines or autism, it's become important to many that they cut gluten out of their life. This can be difficult as gluten is found in many grains, such as barley, rye, and most importantly, wheat. This, unfortunately, cuts out a large portion of breads that are available on the market. Many stores are starting to carry a variety of gluten-free breads, but they tend to be expensive, and not very tasty. So, more and more people are finding it in the best interest of their health to bake their own gluten free bread.

Recipes For Gluten Free Bread - What about Flour?
Let's talk about some substitutions for wheat flour
Potato flour - often mixed with rice flour for baking.
Tapioca flour (cassava) - very common thickening agent, can also be mixed with other flours for baking.
Soy flour - Because it is high protein, this a good replacement flour made from ground, roasted soybean. Some people find it has an odd aftertaste.
Corn flour - great for pancakes and waffles. Mix with corn meal for muffins or bread.
Corn meal - courser than corn flour, has a stronger corn flavor
White or Brown Rice flour - good general use flour for baking, the brown rice flour has more nutritional value.
Another thing to keep in mind is that gluten is the compound that gives bread dough it's elasticity, and what makes breads so good and chewy. When you're cooking gluten-free, you'll need to add something to replace that. Some common options are xanthum gum and guar - both work well and are available from health food stores.
