Gluten Free Bread Recipes
Gluten free bread recipes are easily found by doing a simple internet search for "gluten free bread recipes". A gluten free bread recipe is defined by the elimination of any grains that contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, oats, barley, spelt, triticale and rye.
Bread baking gluten free will make use of "alternative" grains such as millet, buckwheat, amaranth, bean or lentil, rice, potato, tapioca, quinoa, sorghum, teff, soy, corn and arrowroot.
The problem making gluten free bread is that many of the gluten free flours lack the protein (gluten) that produces the "stretch" in the dough. Therefore, we have to substitute to create the stretch by using things such as xanthan gum, more eggs and extra leavening. These things help the bread to feel and taste more like the real thing.
