Lesley, can you eat tapioca starch and coconut flour? I found a passable bread/pita recipe using just those as flours.

Love,
Martha

I think I can. I know about coconut. Haven't tried tapioca for a while. I have been trying to stay away from most grains, but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

So far I have not been able to stand for long to cook or bake. I will give it a try as soon as I can.

Martha, thank you SO much for thinking of me.

Try this one:

My attempt didn't look anything like the picture posted, but it tasted pretty good. It puffed up and was hollow inside, like pita bread. For my first try, I used garlic and cumin powder (I didn't have seeds), but I found I don't care for cumin in bready-type stuff. So the next batch I left out the garlic and cumin, but I did put in some poppy seeds. They weren't noticeable at all, so they seem more decorative than anything else.

Love,
Martha

Just listening to Modern Wheat: It's MORE than wheat.William Davis, MD
He is contending that starches like corn and tapioca are just as bad for you as gluten.
I will still try it as soon as I can stand long enough to do it.

Thanks SO much Martha!
