Title: Baking Gluten-Free Bread
Categories: Breadmaker Grain Info
Yield: 1 Servings

INFORMATION

Since only flours containing no gliadin and prolamin can be used to make bread for people with celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis, a substitute for gluten must be used to make the dough rise. An excellent substitute for gluten is xanthan gum, a natural product made from Xanthomonas campestris. This micro-organism is grown in the lab for its cell coat, which is dried and ground to form xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is added as a powder to the dry bread ingredients. One teaspoon is needed for every cup of gluten-free flour. You can buy this product at your local health-food store.
