Comment on Caputo Gluten Free Flour: Review & Recipes by Chantal.
Hi Sharon! It’s confusing for sure! It’s supposed to be safe for people with celiac disease as per their testing methods, but it contains wheat starch, which is not safe if you have a wheat allergy. Some people are allergic to wheat but don’t have celiac disease. Those people might be okay with barley or rye if not cross-contaminated with wheat. So they can consume gluten-containing foods but not wheat. Does that make sense? I’m in multiple celiac groups, and many consume the Gluten-Free Caputo flour and love it. Many prefer to avoid it and don’t want to take a chance. King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Bread Flour with wheat starch is now available in the US. That company includes more information on the product page of their website. Consuming gluten-free wheat starch is a preference and might not be suitable for all. I trust products that are labeled and certified gluten-free. Whether or not wheat starch is healthy is a whole other conversation.

7-Inch Sourdough Boule (GF/V)
What did you decide to try? Yes, in a pinch place the dough overnight in the fridge, no problem. When you take it out, you can leave it at room temperature for an hour or two or bake it if your oven is already hot.

Hi! Was that the first time you used your GF sourdough starter? If you got about an inch of rise, that’s pretty good. Did you sub or change any of the ingredients? GF sourdough won’t rise as much as regular bread when baking. Did you use a Dutch oven to help trap the initial steam or did you bake the dough in a bread pan?

Hi Debbie! You can for sure sub the tapioca with arrowroot starch or even more potato starch if that is better for you. Replace it by weight.

Hi Rose! The reason for the overnight rest is to help the ingredients breakdown to make the bread easier to digest. You can make the recipe without this step. You can bake the dough in a regular bread pan, if that’s all that you have. I miss this bread, I’ll try and bake one tomorrow without the overnight rest and I’ll bake it in a bread pan and report back. It should be fine if you try it before me. If you have a bread pan with lid, you could cover the dough for half the baking time.

Hi Ann! I think using sorghum flour instead of oat flour for 1/2 cup should be fine. Alternatively, almond flour would work too if you’re not allergic to nuts.
