Tips to Successful Gluten Free Baking

Gluten free baking is different than regular baking.  Here are some great tips for success:

  1. Follow the directions very carefully.
  2. Measure ingredients very precisely. Use a knife to level off cups of flour.
  3. Substitute at your own risk as it may change the outcome.
  4. Always use parchment paper. Wax paper will not do.
  5. Make small loafs of bread. The smaller the loaf, the better it will turn out. Small loaves can be made with 8 inch pan or mini loaf pans can be used as well. If you use mini loaf pans, you would cut it the long way to have bigger slice.
  6. Gluten-free baked-goods tend to be very humid while fresh. Wait two hours before putting loaf, cake, or cookies into zip lock bags or other types of sealed containers.
  7. Every gluten-free baker needs the following ingredients on hand: Parchment paper, eggs, apple cider vinegar, salt, yeast, sugar, olive oil, cooking oil, and honey.
