Baking bread should not be rocket science. However, things look a bit different if you have to avoid gluten due to a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Gluten, the so-called sticky protein, has the property of giving baked goods that fluffy, moist consistency, as it is responsible for binding the ingredients together.
In our June blog, we have already reported on the most common intolerances. Take a look right now.
If you’ve already tried the pre-packaged alternatives from the supermarket, you’ve probably noticed that they don’t really make for a tasty substitute. Looking at the ingredient list certainly raises questions about whether all the ingredients are truly necessary.
Surely, you too are increasingly yearning for bread that tastes and smells like bread, not just looks like it.
Food bloggers who deal with intolerances and have specifically focused on the topic of gluten-free bread almost all describe the challenges that present themselves. From the gamble of whether it will turn out tasty and moist, maintain its consistency, and not just be achievable with a multitude of different ingredients, it’s all there. It quickly becomes apparent that it’s not so easy to just swap something out to conjure up a gluten-free alternative.
Matthias and I could sing a song about the artificially contrived taste experiences that take away the joy of eating a delicious sandwich. Moreover, we are unfortunately not blessed with bakers in our living areas who offer options for special dietary needs. During our research, we came across great recipes that can be made with few ingredients and little time.
Your advantages of baking your own bread are:
- You know what’s inside.
- You can store the individual ingredients longer than the finished bread.
- The individual food items are easier to store.
- You can prepare your bread mix in advance and store it dry (all easily monitored digitally with the Smantry App).
- If you have intolerances, you can replace ingredients that cause problems without any issue.
