Alright lads here's the rundown. My sister is a celiac (endoscopy and everything not a basket case) and I want to include her in Thanksgiving. She has a ton of this flour>King Arthur gluten free measure for measure flourAnd I really can't find too many reviews. I want to make pie crust and chocolate chip cookies and it be the same instead of segregating her, does anyone know if you can actually taste and feel a difference between regular flour? >inb4 just bake a test run I don't want to waste her flour
>I don't want to waste her flour You said she has a ton of it >can't find too many reviews There's 1000 of them on their website
>>20979455>I don't want to waste her flourWho forces you to use a kilo?Test bake two small buns or sth.
>>20979455I know it’s not exactly the same but when I’ve used Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 stuff came out decent (especially cookies), but I found the end product tended to be a little drier and have a slight “sharp” aspect to the taste.
>>20979522I'm extremely uninterested in gluten free people reviewing a gluten free flower. Of course they're going to say it's fantastic. I just want to know if it's indistinguishable from regular flour so that normal people do wouldn't notice it and feel like they were getting cheated. She has a ton of it sure, but still it's for her and her needs
>>20979455>not a basket caseShe is. All the "tests" for it like pooping in bags or getting a rotorooter shoved up your ass is just humiliation rituals. If you go through with them the doctor tells you that you have celiac disease so now you can be extra special.
>>20979455My wife is also a diagnosed celiac and this is the brand we use. In general, the recipes turn out fine but it is noticeable that the product is gluten free. It doesn't bind as well so some things turn out crumbly. You may have issues using it for a pie crust. Our Thanksgiving plan is to buy a premade GF pie crust from Wegmans (I wish I could tell you the brand) and go from there. You should be fine making chocolate chip cookies with it. I also use it for my gravy and it's not noticeable. My wife doesn't bother with GF recipes; she takes whatever recipe she wants from eg our Better Homes cookbook and substitutes the flour.Also, the premade GF baking mixes from King Arthur, Krusteaz, etc, are actually pretty good. I'll watch this thread and follow up if you have any questions.
>>20979619just get a bag of it and make a batch of cookies and see how it is?
>>20979601>>20979632>>20979634Hmmm so GF cookie is a yes but pie will just have to be segregated then. I definitely appreciate the honesty like I said. Plenty of water reviews for this stuff are from people who can't eat gluten anyway, so they don't exactly know what it's supposed to taste like
>>20979455if she is celiac then you probably need to do some special kind of sanitation/food safety prep work or else she dies
>>20979455Gluten is import for stiffer, springy foods like bread, pasta, or pizza. In cakes, pie crusts, and cookies you want them to remain soft and crumbly. You generally avoid gluten formation by not over-kneading, so in the same regard low gluten flour should work fine there.
>>20980023Yeah yeah I already know that>>20980032Every GFcake I've ever had was DOGSHIT. Same for cookies. Just super dusty and dry.
>>20979619From experience, pastry is bad - hard work, cannot mimic. Cookies, not so bad. Actually can be decent. For most things outside of cookies and cakes, I've found an increase / addition of egg usually helps it all along
>>20979724If you still want a second gf dessert I’ve found brownies (at least dense ones that incorporate melted chocolate) also turn out really well with the measure for measure flour.
celiac isn't real just tell her you used gluten free flour and i guarantee she won't even notice
So people in my family have real allergies and I've fucked around with trying to find the best of the gluten free flour blends and what to do with them.Shortbread works. And things like lemon bars or other recipes built around shortbread work.
>>20980182She accidentally consumed regular soy sauce and was in severe pain for days, it took over a week to pinpoint the sauce. She was diagnosed at age 4, two fucking decades ago>>20980121>>20980147>>20980440Hmm, so actually better then to just nake brownies or a type of shortbread?
Trader Joe's does a gluten free pie crust that's pretty good. Otherwise, home-made gluten free dough is always subpar, and while it's a nice effort, a lot of the time you should just buy the things she craves rather than try to make them.
>>20979455I just checked my sisters pussy and ass to make sure she's not a celiac
>>20979455>>20979619you need to actually do a test bake bro. it's not "wasting it," the wasting it would be if you did this for the first time, the day of, and made a fucked up pie, had to throw it out, and didn't have a dessert for your sister. THAT would be a wastenow put the fucking effort in, make a pie with regular flour and a pie with the gluten free, see what you think, and change it if you need to. jesus christ put the work in and don't be a fucking baby. if it's such a big deal to "waste" it then buy an extra bag to test with. you love your sis, right?
>>20979455>>20980887oh, one last thingyou only have to figure it out ONCE. after that you can make awesome pies for her whenever you want. she might love it enough that she ASKS you to make her a pie.someone in my life told me my spaghetti sauce is their favorite and it means a lot to me. even if it's just some pasta puttanesca recipe from the internet
"Wasting" test bakes implies the test bakes are not going to be edible. Texturally is one thing but it's pretty rare to have an absolutely disgusting inedible GF pie shell or cookie unless you absolutely fuck up the ratios or have no common sense.Pie crust hardly matters anyways, they're gonna taste the filling and obese amounts of whipped cream more than the bland shitty crust anyways. For cookies, if they're crumbly when cool, nuke them for 10 seconds.Kudos to helping your sister not shit mach 10 cannonballs.
>>20979724you can also just buy a gluten free pie crust, they taste fine. making one gf isn't hard if you've made a few pie crust before trust me
Fuck her up the ass until her intestines stop being gay.
I've used this exact flour, it works best in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, just have to get gluten-free oatsone note: it doesn't incorporate quite as readily as regular flour, mix your dry with your wet a bit longer until there's no longer an obvious grittiness
>>20980593my wife is gluten AND dairy free. she does pumpkin pie in a gf graham cracker crust, it turns out fantastic.this jewess has the best gf recipes:https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/easy-gluten-free-pumpkin-pie/
>>20979455They have recipes on their website for using their GF flour. As other anons have said, do a test run using their professional test kitchen recipes. That brand is on the cheaper end of GF 1-1 flour and can be found pretty much everywhere. Don’t worry about wasting it.
>>20979455I use this stuff for a similar situation with my MIL. Works fine for cookies and cakes but you will need some extra moisture if you make anything with cocoa powder in it.
