A breakthrough bread book by the unchallenged expert in gluten-free and wheat-free cooking In Bette Hagman's three earlier cookbooks, she worked with gluten-free flours that are safe for celiacs (those who are intolerant to gluten) and for those with wheat allergies to create recipes for great- tasting food. Knowing from her own hard-earned experience that bread is the greatest loss for those who can't eat wheat, oats, rye, or barley, she has experimented with exciting new bean-based flours and has devoted an entire book to breads. Here are yeast breads, yeast-free breads, muffins, rolls, buns, breakfast breads, and crackers-a vast array of recipes for the oven or the bread machine-for people who cannot buy breads at a bakery or supermarket but must rely on their own kitchens to provide the staff of life. Along with dozens of great recipes are: a beginner's guide to understanding and cooking with gluten-free flours; answers to commonly asked questions about baking with these flours; and a source list of where to buy gluten-free baking supplies.

The glossary is the place to find where to have these items shipped it just seems to be an expensive Company advertisement flyer that used to come free with regular flour... more info
Awesome Book!!:
My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. The first store bought bread I purchased was so bad the dog wouldn't eat it. This book has made all the difference. I am turning out bagels, english muffins, cinnamon rolls breads, danish etc...all incredibly easy and all incredibly good. Its difficult to tell they are gluten free. I have sent for Bette's other books... what a huge service to anyone diagnosed with Celiac disease..not only for the phenomenal recipes but for all the information regarding... more info
My Favorite Cookbook:
There are so many "Gluten Free" cookbooks available today that offer gluten free versions of just about anything you might want to cook and eat..but most are just regurgitated standard recipes, who needs a gluten free version of something that is naturally gluten free anyway..it's a big waste of money. NOW, BAKING is a totally different story...this does require completely different recipes. To bake successfully without using Gluten laden flour requires tossing out a standard recipe almost completely... more info
Novice Baker Experiments with G-F:
I am by no means a kitchen geek, but since I retired, I have enjoyed puttering in the kitchen and doing a lot of the cooking. In the last year we've learned that my wife is gluten-sensitive and a lot of what I have been preparing is now very much out of date: pastas, breads, etc. One of my favorites was pecan roll sticky buns, a batch of which was expected when the kids come to visit. My attempts to experiment with various G-F ingredients were spectacular failures. Well, last week I "discovered" Bette... more info
