Not knew to GF cooking, but baking I am. Angel Food Cake help!

Hi, I swear at one point I saw a gluten free Angel Food Cake box mix when I was at a target. I think it was Duncan or Betty Crocker mix but I have not seen either in stores near me (the stores could be the issue come to think of it) or online. I just googled and there are a few options, one makes my favorite grahams, smore’sables and other brands. Anyone tried out these mixes and can give me a review or tips incase i do find a mix? Steer me away from ones that aren’t worth the money spent. I do know to let batters/doughs rest 15-30 minutes to help the flour absorb the liquids fully before baking.

Anyways, has anyone here tried to make a GF Angel Food Cake, from scratch? If anyone is willing to let me in on their recipe I’d be forever in your favor and send you ridiculous photos of my tuxedo cat. It’s my favorite kind of cake, top3 regardless of current tastes (ADHD). and has been a craving it for so long. Please help me, I know it’s labor intensive from scratch but I don’t mind that at all, actually I look forward to it. Cooking and food are a love language of mine and I haven’t had this kind of cake in over 14 years because I’ve been gluten free.

How I made it, near every birthday or chance I got, is as follows:
Get the cake completely cooled and make a 1-2inch crater into the top of the cake, not the sides, middle of the top. Its important to have the “walls” of the cake.
Break up the cake taken out into pieces for use later
Get strawberry jello with fresh sliced strawberries that you prepped the night before or morning if doable.
Spoon jello/strawberries and cake bites into the crater in the cake
Make fresh whip cream and use as frosting

Phenomenal! I don’t care how expensive it will be! I NEED MY FIX!!! /drama

Thanks! I’m hoping this will also be a spark to start baking again, mainly box mixes at first then move on to making other things from scratch!!

Brown sugar cinnamon poptart cookies - but GF!

Brown sugar cinnamon used to be my absolute favorite poptart flavor before getting diagnosed with Celiac disease a few years ago and these FINALLY filled the void left by them. Even my gluten eating fiancé can’t stop eating these.

The only change made was substituting the cake flour for Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF Flour!!

Gluten-free sandwich rolls

These soft gluten-free sandwich rolls are fluffy, easy to make and perfect for sandwiches or meal prep. If you’ve been looking for gluten-free bread rolls that actually stay soft, this recipe is for you.

Video recipe step by step

Ingredients

For the yeast

● 20 g fresh yeast

● 10 g sugar

● 250 ml warm water

For the dough

● 350 ml warm water

● 30 g whole psyllium husk

● 195 g millet flour

● 150 g cornstarch

● 135 g rice flour

● 10 g salt

● 15 g apple cider vinegar

● 30 g mixed seeds

Instructions✍🏻

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

  2. In another bowl, whisk together the warm water and psyllium husk for about 30 seconds, then let it sit until a thick gel forms.

  3. Add the millet flour, rice flour, cornstarch and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk briefly to combine.

  4. Pour in the psyllium gel, the yeast mixture and the apple cider vinegar.

  5. Mix the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and fully combined.

  6. Add the mixed seeds and mix for 1 more minute until evenly distributed.

  7. Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Transfer the dough and gently shape it into a large ball.

  8. Divide the dough into 5 equal portions (about 300 g each). For smaller sandwich rolls, divide it into 7–8 portions instead.

  9. Flatten each piece slightly with your fingertips into a small oval. Fold the long edges toward the center, pinch the seam closed, then gently roll it into a smooth log-shaped bun.

  10. Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them proof for 1½–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

  11. Brush the tops with a little water or milk and sprinkle with extra seeds.

  12. Preheat the oven to 230°C (446°F) with a heavy baking tray or baking stone on the middle rack. Place another heatproof tray on the bottom rack.

  13. Carefully transfer the rolls onto the hot tray. Pour boiling water into the bottom tray to create steam.

  14. Bake for 15 minutes at 230°C without opening the oven door.

  15. Remove the tray with the water, reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (392°F), and continue baking for another 35–40 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown.

  16. Let the rolls cool completely before slicing.

Looking for gluten-free & vegan waffle recipe

The title says it all. I want to do a brunch soon and one of my friends has celiac, so obviously it needs to be gluten-free. Some other friends are vegan and I don't want to do two different recipes. So does anyone have a good recipe?

Blueberry Sourdough Loaf

Made following the King Arthur GF sourdough loaf recipe with the only change being substituting blueberries for the water. I microwaved frozen blueberries until they got warm and lightly mashed them with a fork before adding them

Storing sourdough loaf question…

What’s the best method you’ve found for storing? I’m the only one who eats it since my husband is low carb. I’ve tried on the counter in a lined bread bag and also tried wrapped in beeswax wrap. It starts molding after about a week & a half. So both half my bread & my time wasted. Stored in the fridge it doesn’t mold but becomes so hard (even when wrapped in beeswax wrap) that it’s extremely difficult to slice. Yes, I know I could also just eat more bread. 😂

Each bun is packed with 10g of protein

Recipe step by step

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

* 130 g tapioca starch (or cornstarch)

Wet Ingredients

* 150 g low-fat quark (0–5%) or well-blended cottage cheese

* 1 whole egg

* 3 egg whites

* 25 g oil

* 12 g fresh yeast

* 60 ml warm milk

* 80–100 ml warm water (start with 80 ml)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir the sugar (or honey) into the warm milk, then add the fresh yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until slightly foamy.

  2. In another bowl, mix the warm water with the psyllium husk and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it forms a gel.

  7. Transfer the dough back to a well-floured surface and divide it into 5–7 equal pieces. (I made 5 large buns.) Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  8. Cover and let the buns proof for another 40 minutes.

  9. Brush the buns with beaten egg.

  10. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each bun to create a well. Fill each one with vanilla pastry cream and top with fresh cherries.

  11. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 20–25 minutes, or until the buns are beautifully golden.

  12. Let them cool completely before serving and enjoy! 🤍

Working on my gf pizza game

Used the loopy whisk recipe - a pizza steel and peel are game changers. Texture and flavor were great! Hard to move onto the peel though bc the dough got a bit wet after proofing. One pizza was a white pizza with fig jam, caramelized onions and ricotta; the second was marinara, pepperoni, onions, green pepper and hot honey.

I made some gluten-free cream puffs. Just wanna show them off hahaha

Now it's my fourth year of being gluten-free. I started baking since I was around 12. We didn't have an oven at home so I had to save money and find a cheap one. People keep asking me: gluten-free? That means you cannot have any dessert? I got confused cuz even before I went gluten-free (which completely changed my life) I didn't need to buy any bakes.

Anyway, I feel like there are not enough people in my life that appreciates my gluten-free cream puff, or other gluten-free stuff I make!
