GLUTEN-FREE WonderFlour

GLUTEN-FREE WonderFlour

Gluten free is huge in our culture now, and for me, I cannot understand how everyone thinks its a better option. Most of the gluten free out there is difficult, and far from being a health food. Most of the mixes are filled with garbage

Chef Brad’s WonderFlour

The first whole grain all purpose flour that actually works.

WonderFlour-Chef-Brad whole grain all purpose flour

I have been working on WonderFlour for years now, perfecting the process.

What is WonderFlour? It is a whole grain, wheat free blend of three grains, spelt, barley, and brown rice; that takes the place of white flour in almost all of your baking and cooking. When I say almost all, the only thing I do not use it in is yeasted breads. WonderFlour does not have sufficient gluten to make yeasted breads, but in everything else, from cookies to gravies, I use WonderFlour. It really is my all purpose flour that I use for everything and it really does work.

Just a few helpful hints about WonderFlour

How long does it store? If you are worried about that, just keep it in the refrigerator or freezer. But I would not be too concerned, even if it takes you some time to use it, it is still far better than white flour.

Are there recipes for WonderFlour? Yes there are many recipes on my web site for WonderFlour and a new Comfort Foods Cookbook. But really any recipes you have just substitute out the white flour for WonderFlour and enjoy the results.

It is gluten Free? No it is not gluten free, only wheat free. Most gluten free people can use it. Celiac persons should not use it, but I have found over the past three years that most gluten free people can handle the gluten in WonderFlour. But don’t despair; Gluten Free WonderFlour is right around the corner.

I hope you love WonderFlour as much as I do. Greatest Success to you in your culinary adventures.
