I was reading in the posted articles from Mitch about making your own gluten.
I do buy the gluten at the health food store. I don't buy bread anymore at
the store and have been trying to figure out how to be very cost effective.
I buy the yeast at Sams now and was really amazed a the price difference. So
MUCH cheaper,
I buy the gluten and use it with my all purpose flour instead of bread flour.
I have great results. I put one tablespoon of gluten to a 1.5 lb loaf. The
bread turns out great.
Mitch, can you give me more specific information about how to use the homaded
gluten? I don't really understand. How do you turn it into a powder form?
How much of that you made, do you use to make 1.5 lb loaf? Any more detailed
information would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone else out there has a recipe for glueten and I would also greatly
appreciate it.
Also, I store my bread in a big tupperware container and it is fine, however,
it does not last long. About 3 days. What is all this talk about Absorbic
Acid and what does it do. Someone was talking about using Vitamin C. How do
you do it and how much for a 1.5 lb loaf?
So sorry for all the questions. I got the breadmaker (westbend plus) for
Christmas and I love it. I make bread everyday. It really gets the wear and
tear. I never buy bread anymore at the store. When I use the gluten the
bread is fluffy. The texture is light with no holes. The only thing I don't
like is the paddles (two of them) get lodged in the bread and when they come
out make a big long hole in the bottom. The only thing I do is at the 1:56
time I take the bread out, remove the paddles and grease the two metal
sticking out. I also reshape the bread so it can come out pretty. I don't
really like doing this because I can't leave the house and come back to fresh
bread. If anyone out there has any ideas I would really appreciate it.
I have never posted before, but have read many many posting. If I did it
wrong or sent it the wrong way, please let me know. I just hit the reply
button. Was that right?
This is a great newsletter and I always look forward to having it in my
mailbox. Thank you all.
