Easy Gluten-Free Baking

Product Details

Living gluten free doesn't have to mean giving up the foods you love most. In Easy Gluten-Free Baking, you'll find recipes for day-to-day use, special occasions, parties, gifts, and bake sales. Start the day off with gingerbread pancakes or enjoy a thin-crust pizza with the family, even indulge in Twinkies and Oreos--Barbone has a gluten-free answer to all of your food cravings.

Drawing on her professional baking background, Barbone has created recipes that not only work every time, but taste every bit as good as the gluten version. She has spent countless hours testing her recipes--from sandwich bread to gooey brownies--using real butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and cream. The only ingredient missing is gluten--and no one will know the difference!

Recipes that work!!! - C. Roeder - Michigan
I have been gluten-free for over a year now. Being an avid cook, I choose to make all my own baked goods, rather than buying them ready-made. I have 5 GF cookbooks, and this one never fails to please. Unlike other cookbooks, where there are many editing errors, exotic or overly expensive ingredients, or just bad result after bad result, this one is right on the money.

I make the Cinnamon Raisin Bread every week (adding an additional 1/2 c. of raisins), and it stays nice and moist, has a high rise, and wonderful texture. I've made the Rye Bread (which is good as is, and better w/a 1/2 tsp. GF Rye Flavor from Authentic Foods) and again, great rise, texture and taste.

I'm not a big baker of sweets, but the Pecan Tassies were fantastic.

If you want absolutely grit-free rice flour, I'm sure you can substitute the extra-fine variety from Authentic Foods (The book does NOT use this expensive ingredient), but the cheaper, more readily available rice flours are working just fine for me.

If you want to make crackers, great desserts, pizza, buns, breads and want a good cookbook, with as little fuss as possible, this one won't let you down. Thank you Elizabeth Barbone for all the testing you did to make this book a winner.
