Gluten-free baking: I NEED HALP! Lol....yikes! | |

Offer Upgrade  User ID: 80037766  United States07/14/2021 07:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I need recipes for gluten-free bakery, badly....  ya know, like some baked good recipes that actually have structure to the baked good.I mean, it has no structure. It only melts in your mouth, and not in an enjoyable way. I this just the fate of gluten-free baking, so much lost in texture? I'm really more of a pie woman, but I haven't even tried to make a crust gluten-free yet....I think I'm skerred it won't have any structure, either. I just made a blueberry cobbler using some Bisquick baking mix and almond flour, and added a little extra baking powder to it hoping it would bring some spring to the cake part....it's just got a nasty mouth feel. I found a recipe for chocolate chip cookies made with almond flour, the reviews were stellar, but I'm not sure if I want to waste my time now....and the more expensive ingredients. If youse guyses with experience baking gluten-free are going to say it's just something I'm going to have to get used to, I don't think I can. I hope I can get some guidance from youse guyses who have been eating gluten-free for awhile. Thank you!....

I use a whole bunch and I like to use 1/2 grain flour without gluten... and 1/2 nut flour... always yummy. I keep cashew flour and almond flour... as nut flours.. and most other no gluten whole grain flours. |

You can substitute with almond flour or coconut flower. I sometimes add some flax meal for further consistency.

I'm going to have to order some online... well that one might be ok.. so many have almost no nutrition in them.. made of rice and corn starch and such... I have not bought them... but I have had people make stuff out of them and its as exciting as using corn starch for flour. being diabetic.. I like using 1/2 nut flours because it cuts the carbs...and oat flours and others that are gluten free. I use brown rice and barley flours too.. not sure in barley flour is gluten free though.. but its nice in banana bread. My problem is not gluten its the round up. Quinoa flour will make a pizza crust.. and chickpea flour will make the finest tortillas you will ever eat. |

If I just need to accept that my days of having cake and cobbler are over, then I can do that....but, lol, this is like torture for this old chef, thinking I'm going to score the ultimate recipe for gluten-free cake and cookies, if I just try hard enough. All I know is, eating gluten-free and lactose-free has made a significant difference in my gut, quite remarkably for the best....I battled with ulcerative colitis a couple of weeks ago, so I had to change my diet for a bit there. Once I felt the lack of discomfort after eating, I was fucking amazed. I will not be returning to eating anything with gluten in it any time soon....

It was actually pretty good....lol, but that was probably the spinach alfredo I put on it. I didn't read all the instructions on the pasta box. I looked after I ate, and it said you're supposed to rinse the pasta before saucing it. The opposite of regular pasta. It did get gummy as it cooled down. I'm going to have to rinse it next time. I'm tellin' ya, it's like I'm 11 years old in my mom's kitchen, learning how to cook again....  it's a bit frustrating. I've won f'n cooking contests.The other thing I've noticed about eating gluten-free is that it has to be eaten right away, while hot. It seems it growing cold just drastically changes it. Such persnickety foods...or me.....  You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

(OP) User ID: 80037766 United States07/14/2021 08:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | op what are you planning on eating in order to lose weight today lol. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51240139 Harhar, I know I must sound like I'm chasing down the sugar like a wild banshee.... I had a yogurt and a gluten-free breakfast bar this morning - and a probiotic - then I had some blueberries, then I baked off a 5 oz lobster tail, with only butter and pink salt on it, and I just had some of the cobbler I made....but I'm just going to eat the fruit, and the rest goes in the trash. It's too gross. I've lost weight the past three weeks. I don't know how much, but I feel my clothes are getting looser. Probably at least five lbs, if not ten. My body is just running better eating this way. It's not having to work so hard, taking up all its energy to digest food I shouldn't be putting down my pie hole in the first place. I really do take better care of myself than I'm sounding on this thread, okay?.... You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

What do I mean? Well you do know about Leaky Gut Syndrome or Crohn's disease? Those have to do with a weak digestive system. If you digestive system is damaged that means it is gonna have trouble to tolerate gluten. Makes sense right? I know logic. gee. So what you need are collagens to repair your damaged intestine.

(OP) User ID: 80037766 United States07/14/2021 08:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The cobbler recipe called for butter, so I used butter (organic). I also have coconut oil and avocado oil. The avocado oil has completely replaced olive oil in my kitchen. I think the other recipe called for coconut oil....or maybe that was the chocolate coconut energy bites I made. Those were good. I'll be making those again. I'm so new to this, though, so I have so little frame of reference. You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
