Coconut Flour. Does Anyone Use It?

chefly — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:27:08 GMT

I was just given a container of coconut flour by my nutritionist, who I do cooking classes for. She told me to have fun experimenting. I've made a number of things but have been disappointed by the eggy flavor in the baked goods.

Does anyone use coconut flour? Do you have any baking recipes that don't leave an eggy aftertaste because of the large number of eggs needed when baking with this flour?

TIA

I used Pamela's baking mix to make a bottom crust. It suggested rolling between waxed paper. It rolled wonderfully, but I could not get the wax paper to release it. So, I scraped it, and patted it into the bottom of the pie plate. Does anyone have a good crust for gluten free?

Gluten Free Bread

roadrunner19625 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:18:27 GMT

I saw some old posts about GF bread and decided to put in my two cents. I have found a wonderful GF bread at a local health food store. It is made of millet flour and has flax seeds in it or you can buy it plain. The texture is just like your regular garden variety bread made from wheat flour and tastes great. My husband and son both love it.

There website is www.samisbakery.com I have never ordered from them since I can just run over to the little health food store and pick up a loaf.. or buns.

Hope this helps any of you out there still looking for a good bread.

apple pie

canadianmama — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:46:32 GMT

it is frustrating when the wax paper rips before you get your shell in the pan

I now use plastic wrap one piece on the bottom one peice on the top I can see the cracks and imperfections and correct them as I am rolling the pastry. i use the bottom peice to flip the pastry into the pan. and I can reruse the plastic wrap for the next piece of pastry

I have had some luck with this pastry and am adding it tio my class material so will share it with you

Potato Pastry

Cook a medium potato peeled quartered when fork tender drain and mash Do not add seasoning ,butter milk etc. let it cool

1 cup rice flour

1 1/2 corn starch

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup margarine or butter and 1/2 cup vegetable shortening cut into cubes

1 1/2 cup of mashed potato

mix with pastry blender or pluse in a food processor until this all comes together in a ball and It does Now chill it and proceed with rolling it out for your pie or shells fill and bake This does not freeze well in the unbaked state nor does it behave well if left sitting in the fridge waiting to be used

Enjoy

Banana Cake

roadrunner19625 — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 22:46:41 GMT

Does anyone have a good gluten free Banana Cake recipe? I have one that I've made several times now.. the first couple of times I made it the cake was great. The last 3 times I used that recipe the cake fell in the middle. I can't understand why.. I used the same ingredients each time I used this recipe. I'm very discouraged.

store bought GF bread

coo_kie — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:36:12 GMT

So, if you need to buy gluten free bread, what is your favorite brand?

Excluded because of allergies?

coo_kie — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:47:29 GMT

Have you ever been told, "I would have invited you out to the restaurant, but figured you couldn't eat anything." Or, "Gee you missed a great party...but there was nothing you could eat anyway."

I am noticing more and more that people are assuming that I would prefer to stay home alone than go out or to a party. They don't give me a chance to call a restaurant or party giver to see if any items are gluten free. I am not obnoxious when in public...often just order cottage cheese or a baked potato....never make a scene. At a person's home, I bring something to share, after clearing it with the hostess of course. I do not obviously eat or not eat anything.

Yes, I will speak up, but, do any of you run into this?

1 tsp pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder if desired

Mix this together store container in cool dry place

to use saute desired amount of chopped fresh mushrooms in about 2 Tablespoons margarine or butter

Add 1/3 cup of the mix and 1 1/4 cup water Stir constantly over med heat until mixture thickens

notes sometimes i just crumble in some dried mushrooms and add the margaine

you can adjust your seasoning

you can make it thicker or thinner

if you find the color is too white add a few drops of a gluten free soy sauce

Hello,

I am new to the forums and signed up for this one as well because I have a son that I keep on a very low gluten to gluten free diet because it seems to help him. He has never been tested for gluten intolerance or anything but he has a few mild developmental delays that he is coming out of, he also has a seizure disorder and while he has medication for that I figured it could not hurt to cut out the gluten. I am looking forward to finding new recipes etc. Right now I primarily bake with the Pamela's baking mix and he loves that. I have been married almost 12 years to my awesome hubby, and we have 3 children ages 10,8,and7. My 8 year old is the one I am cutting otu the gluten for. :)

New to wheat free living..please help

coo_kie — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:59:40 GMT

Last week an urgicare doctor suggested I try to live wheat free. Cramping, diarrhea were 2 things that caused him to suggest it to see how I feel. I assume more testing will follow.

For now though, I have not had any more symptoms. I do have a history of multiple bouts of diverticulitis, though. I am wondering what people do for the whole grain/fiber requirements in their diet. Corn is out for me as are seeds and nuts. I am just 2 weeks past my last round of antibiotics for the diverticulitis, and need to start reintroducing fiber back into my diet. In the past, most of my fiber was through wheat and oats. Being wheat free has helped my abdominal symptoms. But, an extra amount of rice in my diet seems to be binding. I drink 60 ounces of water daily, but of course I need fiber to go with that. Yes, I will talk with my primary doctor, but in the last 5 years of multiple problems, he never once mentioned the possibility of problems with gluten/wheat. So, I would love to hear what works for you. Then maybe I can have a clue as to even what questions to ask him.

Does anyone out there deal with both gluten intolerance and diverticulitis? Where do you get your fiber and whole grains? Is brown rice the only option? I find a few gluten free cereals and pasta, but they are rice, with no fiber. I can eat corn flour, etc, like cornflakes, but still they are fiber free, evidently. Beans have fiber, as do fruits and vegetables. Do I still need whole grains if I can get enough fiber from those?

Thank you!

Kinnikinnick Italian White Gluten Free Bread

coo_kie — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:53:10 GMT

Finally a bread that I enjoy! Kinnikinnick Italian White Tapioca Rice Bread has 14 slices for 90 calories each. There is 1 g of fiber per slice, and 2,5 g fat. I know that seems like too much fat per slice to suit me, but the flavor and texture won me over. It is not the heavy dense breads that I have sampled...yet it isn't wonder bread either, which is fine by me. Yes, it is suggested that this be kept frozen, but it thaws quickly one slice at a time.

As you would expect, it costs just less than 45 cents per slice, but if you are really craving bread, that isn't too bad. Normally I use 1 corn tortilla (50 cal) to make a sandwich, just folding it over my filling of choice. But if I want peanut butter and jelly....I want to use bread! And a fried egg for breakfast needs a piece of real toast, not a wimpy tortilla. I can't wait to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich!

Now maybe I will use my part loaves in the freezer for bread pudding. (I have made croutons and bread crumbs from my other reject loaves.)
