[Sca-cooks] xanthum gum in bread

[H Westerlund-Davis]

If you are going to make gluten free bread you will need to add an extra ingredient called xanthum gum. It subsitutes for the gluten in wheat, barley, rye, spelt and durnam. When I make my bread I add also potato starch or tapioca. Yeast is gluten free.
I have some real good gluten free bread recipes that do not taste like cardboard.

Spelt contains gluten, being a type of wheat.
