Gluten Free French Bread recipe
I am making potica, a traditional Slovenian sweet dough with yeast and nut rolled product. My daughters both just use the gf flour. The recipe calls for 7 cups of flour plus more for rolling it out. They tell me that the dough is challenging to roll out flat and does not raise as well as traditional flour or make as much final product
I would like to learn how to get the same results with gluten-free flour as with regular flour. Should I feed the yeast adding more sugar, or increase the guar gum to make the dough easier to roll out flat? I cannot imagine using the baking soda/powder option. Thank you for your advicee.
This is a great question and you’re running into the core difference between wheat dough and gluten-free dough. The short answer is that you can’t get identical results with gluten free flour as it doesn’t have the same properties as wheat flour.
In wheat flour recipes, gluten helps to trap the gas produced by yeast and this is what gives the dough a nice rise. Gluten also helps the dough be stretchy and elastic, allowing you to easily roll it out. When baking without gluten, the dough won’t have any elasticity so it will be more like a thick batter.
For the best results for yeast doughs, we recommend using our Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour and adding xanthan gum (or guar gum) or psyllium fiber powder to help it hold together. There is a chart on the back of the package that shows how much xanthan gum to add.
Gluten free yeast doughs may also need additional water or eggs, and it is normal for them to be sticky; don’t add extra flour as this can make the bread heavy and dense. Rolling in between sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap can help with sticking, as can lightly coating your hands with water or oil. If you can, look up gluten free specific versions of your recipe so you can see examples of ratios of ingredients.

In your gluten-free all-purpose baking flour can I substitute arrowroot powder instead of xanthan gum or psyllium?

Hello
I have two questions
1- i buy baking flour . may i use it for a regular bread?
2- i buy homade wonderful bread mix.May i take my bread machine to make it?
Excuse my english i' m a french speaking on Québec
Thank you
Hi Manon! You can find bread machine instructions for our Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix here. If you're referring to our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, we recommend using it for recipes leavened with baking soda and baking powder, not yeast.
I bought 2 bags of this recently, because of this blog & it includes xanthan gum. Is that a recent addition?
What flours do I mix together (and add an alternative) & ratios to get a gf mix?

thanks for the info, but I cannot find an all purpose GF flour blend that does not have xanthan gum! I would have to make my own mix and I dont use it often enough to warrant the trouble. I would love it if you guys made a mix like that! then I could add psyllium to it if needed!
Hi Julie, our Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour doesn't contain xanthan gum: https://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-all-purpose-baking-flour.html
If I substitute your 1:1 gluten free flour does xanthan gum still need to be added? With a newly discovered gluten intolerant family member, I am just trying to relearn how to cook so all can enjoy our meals together.
Thank you.
Hi Russell - if you're using our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour in your recipe, you do not need to add additional xanthan gum. It's already in the flour blend. Happy baking!
Hi Helen - Our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour can be used in a 1:1 ratio for AP Flour in most cookie recipes. No other substitutions are necessary.
