Gluten Free Cinnamon Biscotti

in ,

Cooking gluten free could be overwhelming and hard at the beginning.  We are used to reach for our bread and not bother with every detail on the lables of food we consumed.To cook gluten free, first get familiar with all different kind of flours that are available on the market.  There are many varieties that are sold in almost every grocery or health stores.  Second, get your original recipe and try to replace the flour in the original recipe with a combination of of gluten free flours.  You should make your own favorite gluten free combination.  I am not crazy about fava bean flour or garbanzo bean flour.  I find them very heavy and the flavor  very strong and overpower the recipe. But that is my personal taste. Third, for grain, if the recipe call for bulgur wheat I replace it with quinoa grain of kasha. Best advise is not to be afraid to experiment and try and try again. My own gluten free flour mixture that I use in most of my recipes is 1 pound white sorghum flour, 1 pound potato starch, 1 pound potato flour, 1 pound brown rice flour and 1 pound tapioca flour.  Mix the flours and place in tight container.*IMG_3355 IMG_1197IMG_1198
