Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hello. My name is Rose, I'm 58, I live in rural upstate New York. I'm vegan, my husband is a vegetarian, and we have just discovered that he's gluten-sensitive. HELP REQUEST: I'm particularly interested in how to make pie shells and pizza doughs that can accommodate his current gluten-free needs. I make a vegan pizza and a vegan mushroom quiche, but the doughs for either recipe are not gluten-free. Thanks so much. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi Rose I am pretty sure you, as an experienced cook, will be able to adapt to your husband's special dietary needs. It will be alot more restrictive to eat a vegan diet without gluten, but I am sure you and he will feel much better about it. Are they both yeast-raised doughs?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 You can make doughs with bean flour. Just grind the beans in a blender, and make sure they are thoroughly ground. Use the same proportions and treat the same as whole wheat or any other flour. Donna www.unskoolbookshop.com ------ Rose Lieberman wrote: > > Hello.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I honestly would never use straight been flour, even home ground, by itself. I thing it has an weird taste and my family doesn't like them at all, but if I blend them with starches at about a 40% bean flour ratio, than it equates to being alot like a hard wheat flour and works really well. Most gluten free chefs recommend using protein flours in blends rather than by themselves.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think it depends on your particular ailment. If your body can handle a half-grain, mixture, go for it.
