Gluten Flour

[Lemonie]

Am going round in circles at the mo. Am wanting to do some baking and can't find where to buy Gluten Flour at a reasonable price? What price do you pay and where from. :?:

Hi Lemonie

Are you sure you mean gluten flour as all flours have gluten in them except the Gluten FREE ones. You can get them in the supermarkets e.g. Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury on the Free From Range Section.

Hope this helps

Lemonie, do you mean Gluten, as in Wheat Gluten, do you need it for low carb baking??
Google wheat gluten or you can buy from ebay as well.

Yes it is for low carb baking. There are soo many different makes and names. I will go and have a look. Thanks :wave:

You might want to consider ground almond or coconut flour for real low carb baking

modesty0007 - some low carb baking recipes ask for gluten, most use almond and coconut flour but still might need gluten, it depends on the recipe

Gluten is low carb and is a fairly necessary part of breadmaking, if you want bread made with yeast. It's what gives elasticity to the dough and allows the airbubbles to stretch, giving a lighter slice which also helps with low carbing because you can have a satisfying slice that weighs less!

The recipe I was using had a combination of soya flour, gluten, flax and ground nuts and had a very good springy texture - shame I didn't like the taste very much!

I got my gluten from a website just by googling for it, so hope this works for the OP.
