By Terrence Ryan


Gluten is a protein composite. It appears in the foods processed from wheat as well as from related spices like barley and rye. Gluten provides elasticity to the dough and helps it to rise and to keep the shape. Gluten provides chewy texture to the final product. Gluten causes serious health problems such as Celiac disease and various wheat allergies.

Doctors suggest taking gluten tree diet for such people. Gluten free diet excludes foods containing gluten.Gluten Free bakery products are suggested by most of the doctors. Bread, is made from wheat grains that contain gluten. Gluten free bread is made with ground flours of various materials such as rice, corn, sorghum, etc and legumes such as beans.

Take a pan. Dissolve sugar and yeast in water and keep it for ten minutes. Take soy flour and stir into the yeast mixture. Add some water. Add canola oil, cover the bowl and let raise it by one and quarter from top of bowl. Stir well add wheat starch flour, and again stir well. Divide this mixture into pans and bake them for 35 minutes at 400 degree temperature. When cool, put it in plastic bag overnight. Do not let the dough rise twice.
