Can You Make Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs at Home?
Can you make gluten-free bread crumbs at home? Well you can, but it is incredibly labor intensive. Going on a gluten-free diet is not a simple task for anyone. Just a few short years ago, bread lovers had a hard time. Gluten-free bread was not freely available. Of course things have changed now and many bakeries offer gluten-free bread that is both inexpensive and delicious.
How hard is it to make gluten-free baked goods? First you need to understand how traditional bread is baked using wheat flour. Why is wheat flour used in making bread? Wheat flour is traditionally used in making bread due to the high presence of elastic gluten. The addition of water and kneading produces this gluten that acts as a binding agent for all the ingredients of the bread dough. The gluten also traps air bubbles inside it that causes the dough to swell and give the characteristic texture found in bread. Also, the proportion of wheat flour in bread in very high when compared to cakes and pastries. This makes it difficult to substitute gluten-free flour effectively.
Being Gluten-Free and Baking Bread
To make gluten-free bread crumbs, you must first bake gluten-free bread. To do this, you will need a substance known as xantham gum. This is a natural binding substance that is not that easily found in most supermarkets and grocery shops. This must be added to other gluten-free flours to come up with a mix that has all the properties of wheat flour. Then it is a matter of adding in a few basic ingredients like water, yeast and salt maybe, just maybe, you can come with a tasty soft loaf that can rival the best bread in the market. More than likely, you're going to get a bread that has the texture and taste of well, foam rubber.
Of course if you don’t want to go through all the trouble, and actually want your bread crumbs to taste good, then there are a number of bakeries that offer high-quality gluten-free baked goods. Either way, incorporating gluten-free bread crumbs into your diet shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
