[hr]FAQ: Can Guar Gum Be Substituted for Xanthan Gum?
DO YOU HAVE A GOOD RECIPE FOR WHEAT FREE BREAD I HAVE THE INTOLARENCE TO WHEAT AND SOME THINGS THAT SAY GULTEN FREE HAVE WHEAT PLEAS HELP ME
If you look under the Recipes, Breads & More tab, you will find several gluten free bread recipes. Gluten free flours all have such a different taste and texture, it all comes down to personal choice. So its best to try out a few different recipes, to find out which one is your favorite.
In the recipe for cake & pastry flour, I will need to replace the corn starch with another type of flour. Can you recommend a flour or another kind of starch to substitute for the corn startch.
Check out our Secrets to Baking Gluten Free Bread under the Flour & Starch Substitutions chart for a list of starch substitutions (personally I would use tapioca starch).
I read on another site that you can substi equal amounts of ground flaxseed or ground chia seeds for the xanthan & guar gum because some people cant tolerate xanthan or guar gum. The reason I am asking is I am new to all this and it is a bit overwhelming. I’m learning all over again how to cook and what to eat so I want to get it right. Thank you for your site it is helping a lot.
Great timing! I am working on an article about substitute’s for gums right now – I’ll let you know when it’s ready! In the meantime…
Here is a substitute you can try:
15 grams ground flaxseed meal
15 grams ground chia seeds
60 grams boiling-hot water
Mix the flaxseed and chia seeds together, the pour in water. Whisk until the seeds have formed a thick mixture. Allow to cool completely before adding to recipe.
Tapioca will work
