combination with rye when baking bread. Combining flours ensures the loaf will rise well.

Semolina flour – Semolina is ground from hard wheat. It is pale yellow in colour and resembles corn meal. Semolina flour has a very high gluten or protein content. It is used in both making pasta and bread.

Sorghum flour – Sorghum is a millet-like grain that is very nutritious. Sorghum flour imparts a faint, sweet flavour to gluten-free products. It needs to be combined with other flours for baking.

Potato starch – Great supplementary flour to use in gluten-free baking. Potato starch is also used as a thickener for sauces and soups.

Potato flour – Heavier then potato starch, potato flour can be used in a similar way but it does carry more of a potato taste.

Cornstarch – A good combining ingredient in gluten-free baking – its taste is undetectable.

Amaranth flour – High in both protein and fiber, amaranth flour is also a good source of calcium. It has a nutty flavour and combines well with other gluten-free flours.

Quinoa flour – Quinoa, considered the most nutritious grain, is high in protein, calcium and iron.

Xanthan gum – Used as a thickening agent in gluten-free baking, xanthan gum is used as a binder and to retain moisture. Xanthan gum also adds to the volume of the bread. Can be replaced by guar gum. (Tip: Xanthan gum is also a good and natural way to keep blended vinaigrettes, dressings and marinades emulsified after blending.)

Gelatin – Although it is not necessary in gluten-free baking, gelatin adds protein and gives elasticity to bread. (If you are a vegetarian, you may not wish to use gelatin, as it is derived from meat.)

Tapioca flour Grain-free flour that is derived from cassava root. Tapioca flour is starchy and imparts a slightly sweet flavour.

Cider vinegar – or dough enhancer (powder containing ascorbic acid) – improves texture of the bread as well as shelf life.

Safety is also a concern with the Cuisinart CBK-200C, which includes an automatic shut-off feature that kicks in once the bread is done baking. This gives users peace of mind, especially if they have to leave the kitchen during the baking cycle.
