My Mother-in-Law is GF (non MC), she uses Bob's Red Mill 1-1 Baking Flour. I bought some but now am wondering if it is safe for MC'ers? Also, what about active dry yeast?
I'm still in the healing phase but looking down the road into bread alternatives. :-)
Thank you!

1-1 GF Flour?

Hi Karen, I haven't tried Bob's but have used Better Batter. Really all you can do is try it and see if there are any issues. Everyone here is different. Some have trouble with the flours, some with the xanthan gum and some with the starches. I did not have a problem with yeast but some did. Sorry, I can't be more helpful.
I appreciate the reply Deb! Yes, we are all different but there seems to be a lot of semi “absolutes” but those may be more along the lines of gluten, etc.
I’m looking forward to trying it....at some point in the future. I was also looking at a recipe for focaccia and, of lord, I’d love to be able to eat a gf version of that!

I have been using Bob's Red Mill 1-1 baking flour for some time now. Really like how it handles my baking needs and have had no issues with my GI with it as well.
But as discussed earlier, "your results may vary". But seems to be a reasonable product to try...
Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes!

Hi Karen,
I thought I would add my "two cents". I haven't tried this flour, but I just looked it up out of curiosity. I personally cannot tolerate tapioca flour or xanathan gum. I personally don't do well with any of the gluten free flour mixes as they all seem to have a mix of ingredients to take the place of the gluten and I react to them. I don't know if others have issues with these ingredients too, and/or if this is somewhat typical for us in this group, but just thought I would chime in about my personal experience with these ingredients.
I'm also still healing, in my case, from an assumed accidental gluten ingestion. I am not going to try to add any type of bread yet, but I think that if I continue doing well for another week or so, I will try making a buckwheat bread. I have some certified gluten free buckwheat flour (no added ingredients - pure buckwheat) from a dedicated gluten free facility. I am going to wing it with a very basic recipe of flour, oil, liquid, baking soda. It may be bland, but that will be my first experiment with it and then I'll go from there, maybe adding some sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Good luck to you!
