Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread: More Than 200 Wheat-Free Recipes » (REV)

Bette Hagman, a.k.a. the Gluten-free Gourmet, was diagnosed as a celiac over twenty years ago, she has devoted her time to creating recipes for gluten-free flours. A writer and lecturer, she lives in Seattle, Washington.

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.
