Things like the mini muffin, mini biscuits and small loaves of bread are generally a great option.
Throw in some starch:- When it comes to Gluten-free baking people-in-the –know recommend adding starch to whole grain flour in a 1:1 or even 1:2 ratio in order to give your gluten free baked goods the fluffy texture that you get when baking with all-purpose flour.
The baking temperature should be reduced:- Gluten-free goods tend to brown more easily and a good way to counteract or slow this down is by lowering the oven temperature with about approximately to 20-25 degree census.
Gluten free flours:- Safe whole grains for gluten free baking include rice flour, quinoa, sorghum flour, buckwheat, and millet. Another option is oat flour although there are some people who can’t tolerate all that well.
Mix different types of flower together:- In order to prevent one particular flavor or texture from dominating the taste of the baked product, you can mix several of the above-mentioned types of flour together for a more neutral flavor.
Get some assistance from the sticky Brigade:- As we mentioned earlier, one of the most challenging parts with gluten free baked goods is the fact that the dough mixture misses that stickiness. The solution for this is adding some sticking goodies such as Xanthan gum, gelatin or sweet rice. Xanthan gum can cause some digestive upset for some people so it’s not everybody’s cup of tea. As gelatin has known the health qualities, it may be a better option. Brown sweet flour rice can be used as 50% of your gluten-free baking mix. This type of rice is widely used in Japan and also goes by the name of glutinous rice although it does not contain any gluten. It is a little sticky that is the reason it is considered for gluten free baking. For bread and pizza dough you can add one teaspoon of Xanthan gum and gelatin for each cup of gluten free flour you use for the cake, muffins, bread, and biscuits you can add ½ teaspoon of Xanthan gum or gelatin for each cup of flour you use.
Put your mistake to good use:- Especially if you’ve started exploring the world of gluten free baked goods, there will be a few mishaps every now and then. Instead of chucking you not so great end-products in the bin, you can use them in a creative way. Savory baking gone wrong can be used for breadcrumbs. Toss them in a food processor to crumb them and then keep it in the freezer. Sweet baking mishaps can make a great cereal. Crumb them, add milk, coconut milk or almond milk and you’ll have delicious breakfast or ice-cream toppings.
