Gluten free vegan recipe suggestion

[Guest guest]

If you want to make a recipe from a vegan cookbook that is not gluten free,

simply substitute a good GF flour blend for the flour used in the recipe. I

have used flour blends from Connie Sarros and Bette Hagman, among others, with

great success. Marilyn

Make sure that the gluten-free flour blend has xanthan gum added,

especially when you're making baked goods, like breads, muffins,

cookies, etc. Otherwise, the finished product will just crumble

apart. The xanthan gum replaces the gluten that's present in wheat

flour. Gluten makes the dough stretchy and holds things together. If

you buy a gluten-free flour blend without added xanthan

gum, you can add it to the recipe yourself. The ratio is 1 tsp per

cup of flour for muffins, cookies, etc., and 2 tsp per cup of flour

for breads. If you're just using the gluten-free flour for thickening

vegan sauces and gravies, you don't need the xanthan gum.
