Why Bake Gluten-Free?

Baking gluten-free means avoiding wheat, barley, and rye. This is not only important for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, but it can also contribute to a more conscious diet in general. Gluten-free baked goods are often easier to digest and can contribute to better well-being.

  • Cookies and Biscuits: Ideal for a quick snack or a treat on the go.
  • Savory Baked Goods: Quiches, pizza bases, and more – enjoy gluten-free and savory.

Alternative Grains

When baking gluten-free, you can use a variety of alternative grains and flours that are not only gluten-free but also nutrient-rich:

  • Rice Flour: Mild in taste and versatile – ideal for cakes and cookies.
  • Almond Flour: Especially suitable for sweet pastries and adds a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Buckwheat Flour: Perfect for savory baked goods and pancakes, with a robust flavor.
  • Coconut Flour: Adds an exotic note to baked goods and is very high in fiber.
  • Teff Flour: A nutrient-rich flour with a slightly sweet taste, perfect for bread and rolls.
  • Millet Flour: Ideal for gluten-free bread and rolls, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor.

Alternative Binding Agents

To achieve the right consistency and binding in gluten-free baked goods, you can use various alternative binding agents:

  • Chia Seeds: These small seeds swell in liquid and form a gel-like binding agent, ideal for bread and cakes.
  • Flax Seeds (Flaxseed Meal): Ground flax seeds mixed with water make an excellent binding agent, perfect for gluten-free baked goods.
  • Psyllium Husk: These fiber-rich husks help improve the structure and moisture of baked goods.
  • Applesauce: Can be used as a natural egg substitute and adds a pleasant sweetness to baked goods.
  • Bananas: Ripe bananas are another natural binding agent and are particularly good for sweet baked goods.
