Gluten Free Flour: 1 cup = 1 cup of wheat flour for any recipe

Gluten free? It can be a tough transition at first. Gluten is in almost everything! Or at least it seems that

way. WHAT IS GLUTEN really? I was confused at first too...here is what I found....gluten is a family of grains: WHEAT, BARLEY, & RYE and yes, gluten can be found in many things from breads, salad dressings, hair product, cosmetics, pastas, other condiments, etc...the list just goes and goes.

My husband and I decided with our newly found gluten allergy that we would start simple. Take everything out of our house that had any gluten in it and start fresh. Then we got creative and looked up on Pinterest (which is a new love of mine!) and we found a gluten free flour mix that when used can be used instead of regular wheat flour in any recipe. I got all the supplies together and reached out to my good friend Kobi Brock and we had a flat bread making day to try out this new flour.

OH MY gosh is this flour AMAZING! We loved the flat bread and so did our families! So here it is everyone....one of the best GLUTEN FREE flour mixes ever!!!

The recipe for the Gluten FREE FLOUR is:
     1 Cup Coconut Flour
     1 Cup Oat Flour
     1 Cup Tapioca Flour/Starch
     1 1/4 Cup Rice Flour
     3 1/2 Tsp Xantham Gum

Take all the ingredients, place them in the mixer and that's it. Once you have the flour mixture ready to go you can use it in any recipe that calls for flour. My first experiment was flat bread....so here it is!

The recipe for the FLAT BREAD with GLUTEN FREE flour:

     4 Cups Gluten Free Flour
     2 Cups water (warmed but not boiling)
     2 Tsp Coconut Oil (if it more solid then oil, place it in the warm
        water to dissolve before mixing in with the flour and other
        ingredients)
     2 Tsp Sea Salt

     *From here you can make it your own flavor...adding in onion or garlic powder, pepper, cumin, curry, etc...it all depends on what you are in the mood for. By itself, the mixture doesn't really have much of a flavor...so be creative...maybe a little stivia and cinnamon for a sweet treat - options are unlimited!

Mix all the dry ingredients together first, then when the coconut oil is melted in the water, slowly add it in. Use the coconut oil on your rolling pin or hands as you spread it out. You can make it into whatever shape you want: pita bread squares, circle cracker like snacks, etc...

*Prep the oven at 425 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, spray sunflower oil or usethe coconut oil on the cookie sheet so the flat bread doesn't stick. Place 1 cookie sheet at a time in the over anywhere from 11-15 minutes depending on how crunchy you want the flat bread. The longer it is in the over the more cracker-like your pieces will be. Serve and Enjoy!!
