Wheat-free, Soy-Free. Tapioca-Free Baking…
Hi everyone, been out of the loop for awhile now, been busy with school, work, and trying to get health issues sorted. I was recently put on some food restrictions, which are greatly affecting my ability to enjoy holiday baked goods. If anyone has good resources on gluten-free baking, I would love to hear about it! I’m finding that I don’t know the science behind how to substitute out wheat flour, and many of the pre-mix options are full of other things that I also cannot have, ie tapioca starch. Any help is greatly appreciated! 🙂

I don’t know any website in english with great information and gluten free recipies but I usaually replace wheat flour by rice flour and it works perfectly fine !
There are a tons of possibilities for people who suffer from coeliac disease using other flours (chickpeas flour, coconut flour, quinoa flour, corn flour,… and corn starch or arrow root to replace tapioca). -
That’s a tough one! I wish I could help.

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough

^^That’s for flour free peanut butter cookies. You can put dried fruit or vegan choc chips in too. Super easy and yum – if you’re allowed eggs?

I am not sure what all your restrictions are, but any recipe that calls for tapioca can be replaced with potato starch or corn starch. I will look at what I have bookarked at home. I havent baked for a while and cant remember them off the top of my head

Thanks so much! I am excited to try the peanut butter cookies!
I did the food sensitivity blood testing, and I have about 20 different things I need to cut from diet for the near future. Thankfully, potato, corn, eggs, and dairy are NOT included on the list, so this could be much much worse. I am just finding it difficult to find convenience grain-based foods/flour mixes that are both wheat-free and tapioca-free. I guess I’ll just have to start baking/cooking from scratch more. 🙂
And in case anyone was following this thread, I did come across a pretty helpful link for gluten-free substitutions in baking…
