Recently, we had the opportunity to enjoy a “Gluten Free Expo.”  It was very informative but even better were the samples.  It’s nice to see more and more GF foods in the grocery stores but it’s nice to see what they taste like before buying.  That’s what this expo was all about — TASTING!  Yes, some things were better than others but there were several delicious pizzas and some great breads.  We came home with a bag of information and coupons!

Did you know that most Blue Cheese dressings contain gluten?  Bread mold is injected into the cheese — hence the gluten.  And . . . beware of soy sauce and Twizzlers.  Some candies are dusted with flour so they don’t stick .  It’s such a small amount that it’s not required to list it in the ingredients.  Those with celiac will know, however.

Dough Enhancer will help make baked good fluffy.  It will also enhance the natural flavors and increase the dough strength and shelf life.  It is made from whey, soy lecithin, tofu powder, citric acid, dry yeast, sea salt, spice blend, corn starch, ascorbic acid (vitamin C).  And it’s gluten free.

As we all try to make delicious baked goods, it’s good to have ideas from others doing the same thing.  You can purchase dough enhancer at the following:
