    My husband is allergic to Tapioca, All grasses including rice. milk and all brassicas, and the onion and marrow families. He is also allergic to Shellfish and Rabit but that another story. He is GF too!!!!

    We have now made 4 loaves in our breadmaker using your basic 3 +3 +1.5+1.5 recipe but without the rice. We used Millet in one loaf and Buckwheat in the others. We are using weight not volume so we are just using thirds or sixths of our final 500g of flour. The bread tastes great and looks okay too.

    We want to now try other flours such as lentil but we are not sure if it is medium or heavy?? What are your criteria for Light Medium and Heavy?

    Thank you

    Living in Central America, and making most of my own flours….
    Where would you put banana flour and cassava flour
    Medium or heavy?

    I made the bread today and it’s delicious, I finally feel like I’m eating bread again but this time it’s without the usual bloating! I used gram and quinoa flours.

    Question – does this butter taste salty? I’m looking for an unsalted butter recipe for baking (yeah, I don’t like salt in my butter!)
    Is it ok to use just a pinch for blending.

    I scrolled all the way down here just to tell you that not only is everything amazing about your website from the creativity to the tangible energy I can feel through your recipes and descriptions (and might I add the hilarity- you have me literally lol’ing), but as a proud OCD chef with no time to waste, who likes to understand a recipe within the first 10 seconds of looking at it, your recipes are so easy to read!!!! Thank you!!! Lol I just had to put this here because like 99% of the recipes on the internet and even sometimes in books ARE NOT EASY TO READ and it drives me crazy. The writer either writes their whole life story, includes unnecessary info put in unnecessary places, and/or slaps ingredients down with no flow and consideration for the people reading. But your recipes are the perfect amount of background, humor, and added input, and have awesome flow and are brilliantly written in all ways! I can tell you care and just wanted to say thanks!!
    Also, yay for kid friendly/vegan/gf recipes!! You’re just amazing!!

    I just made tortillas from receipe off cassava flour bag and tho they tasted delis my dough was dry .When I rolled them out they were crumbly can I add more water or more olive oil? I made come crackers also and kind of had the same problem they were very tasty though. So glad I discovered your flour.

      almond- amaranth – brown rice- teff flour all can substitute heavy flour like buckwheat. If you use coconut flour use only half of the amount

      Corn can be exchanged with arrowroot, potato starch, rice flour, tapioca flour. They all very nice. Find them in Indian or Asian grocery , very cheap. Good luck:)

    I am a former private chef to entertainers and have a lot of experience with baking and cooking. This recipe really is the best Gluten Free Vegan Cinnamon Rolls! Just follow exactly as written and all should be OK. I don’t substitute unless stated. (chia seeds can be doubled in place of psyllium) The best part about the rolls is that everyone can eat them and every one loves them. Cinnamon rolls was the first real recipe I learned as a child in home economics so I am sentimental and very selective when it comes to the recipe. Thank you for yours!

    So delicious! I decided to try making my own bread at home, as the store-bought gluten-free bread is pretty expensive. So glad that I tried this recipe!! It has a crunchy crust and soft interior. It has a bit of a nutty flavour and is definitely hearty.

    I made a few of substitutions. I didn’t have millet flour, so I used a 1:1 ratio with sorghum flour instead. I didn’t have tapioca starch, so I used 1/4 cup of potato starch. I didn’t have ground chia seeds, so I just used whole chia seeds and mixed them into the dry ingredients.

    All in all… a total success! Will definitely make it again =)

      Refined doesn’t have the coconut flavor. It is a neutral flavor.

    1. Can I add some dry fruit powders to this/ Like, dired dates powder, cashew powder.
    2. Can I add sprouted Alfafa seed powder?

      We seem to have quite a bit in common, I am also looking for the same food wise. I was wondering what type of thyroid disorder you have? If it happens to be hypo like myself, have you looked in to taking a form of T3? Many of us can have perfect blood tests and feel awful because we aren’t actually converting the T4 to T3 which basically makes it useless. I wish you all the best.

    To Whom It May Concern,

    It has been determined, after many months of attempting to desensitize to one of my allergens, that I must go gluten free.
    For over a year now, I have been fussing with this allergy issue by making my own bread, of a Quinoa type, but also which still has 100 % organic and non-gmo wheat flour in the recipe.
    Given that I am also allergic to all nuts and rice, etc., I cannot use a nut based flour. I want to continue making my own bread, but I’m having difficulties finding any recipes where I can use Quinoa and Coconut flour, or a bean flour (Which I think I would truly like).
    Have you got any recommendations or recipes to share? I’d sure like to know so I can make some good, light, fluffy, bread…….AND, without Xantham gum. Ya know? Digestive issues suck. Thank you.

      It’s not a fluffy bread, but it’s a delicious bready-type food using chickpea flour, try David Lebovitz’s recipe for socca. Comes out crispy and tender all at once. I brush olive oil on top after cooking it, oil that also has herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic, it’s delicious.

    I’d appreciate knowing the percentage of calcium and omega-3 RDAs of these grains. As a vegan, I find it very easy to meet protein needs but monitoring intake of other nutrients more difficult.
