Any Home Bakers Here?

Salsa is naturally and always gluten free. It's a marketing ploy to sell things. Kind of like the fat free fad...everything became "fat free" (like licorice, always has been) when fat free was the buzz word.

Gluten is not our enemy...imo...processed food and hybrid food is. Real food doesn't hurt. Bring on the home made bread with no chemicals!!

Agreed on both counts

We went gluten free for a month with my youngest after testing ruled out celiacs (she tested very high to something in one of the blood tests) in case an intolerance was behind her constant tiredness. She didn't feel better but dam if her acne and my sons cleared up well. Was too much of a pain to maintain for just that, especially with the kids complaint but I still bake the odd thing gluten free.

Was ridiculous the items packaged as gluten free at twice the price that naturally had no gluten anyway.

Maybe you are paying to be sure its manufactured in a gluten free factory so there's no cross contamination for those super sensitive?

How can salsa be gluten free when there no gluton in salsa? Wow i have a friend whose daughter has a mild gluton allergie (migraines not exactly mild but not life threatening). I seen mostly flour products gluton free which i am not sure how that works.

They aren't made with wheat. They are blends of corn and rice and potato flour etc. which is why lots of gluten free stuff is tough as old boots lol

I've got a really good gluten free carrot cake recipe. I keep the gluten free flour just to keep making it lol.

Gluten free are very expensive words to add to packaging! Drives me nuts!

I work in food service (food service director for a retreat center), food allergies and sensitivities peaked in 2014. Then I saw a drop off. Now I have a handful of people that have true sensitivities or allergies. Had to weed out the bandwagon folks. They realized that wagon was WAY too expensive to stay on!

Well said. The problem with the "bandwagon" people is that it devalues the warnings. When they are plastered all over everything, it must make it harder for somebody with a real allergy to zero in on the products they need to buy.

Hello! I was excited when I saw this

I am currently in the process of making oatmeal bread as I type. I will share my recipe for those who are interested:

Oatmeal yeast bread.

1 package of yeast
1 tbsp + 3tbsp of honey
1 cup of warm water + 2cups of water
1/4 cup of melted butter or coconut oil
2 tsp of salt
4 cups of flour + 3 cups of flour + flour for kneading

Proof the yeast. Combine one cup of warm with one tbsp of honey. Pour over yeast, stir one. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Make the sponge. Combine melted butter or coconut oil, salt, 2 cups of water, 3 tbsp of honey, and yeast water. Mix. Add 4 cups of flour, add your heaviest flour first. I personally use 2 cups of oatmeal flour and 2 cups of all purpose flour. Stir until its all mixed in real good. Add remaining 3 cups of flour on top. Cover and let sit in a warm place for one hour.

Knead dough. Stir in remaining flour. Turn out on a flored surface. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes. Set in a greased bowl and cover for 40 minutes.

Make loves. Remove from bowl on to floured surface. Cut into two equal halves. Roll flat with rolling pin. Roll up the dough like your making cinnamon rolls. Press the air out of the ends and fold under. Set in greased bread pans and let sit in warm area forr 40 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes.

This is a picture of my oatmeal bread before they went in the oven

Hope you enjoy!

The wait is over! I'm revealing my secret bread recipe! It is a multi-grain bread. The knead and first rise is done in my bread maker, the second rise is done in two loaf pans.

1 1/2 cups water
2 Tbsp. Butter
1/4 cup Honey
1 3/4 cup bread flour
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup einkorn flour
(You can omit the einkorn and just increase the other two flours to 2 cups each.)
1 cup Red River Cereal
2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 tsp. Quick rise yeast

After the second rise we brush the loaves with egg whites and sprinkle on raw pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and sunflower seeds.

Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes.
