Question about baking gluten free bread

[MissHoneychurch]

My bf has to eat gluten free. Cooking for him is no problem. My problem is that in most bread/flour mixes there is corn. This taste of corn (sweet) is getting on his nerves and we try to find other recipes without corn.

Do you know of any other gluten free flours we can use? And do you know any recipes?

Thanks in advance

1. How gluten free does he have to be?

Can he have occasional spelt?

2. If it isn't avoidable, yes

he "only" has problems with his joints when he eats gluten. But we try to stick to the diet.

3. Then I don't know that I'm going to be alot of help

I have participated in news groups with a baker using spelt and ... rye? to mitigate his symptoms, with good results. But, spelt is low, not no gluten.

Have you played with teff? I've had it as a breakfast gruel like oatmeal and as a moisture component of normal muffins and it has a rich toasty flavor like wheat without the bitter bran.

4. Thanks for the reply

Never tried teff. Heard about it. Going to look into that. Thanks!!

5. There should be various mixtures online

My own is a combination of sorghum, rice, and tapioca flours. Others use potato starch or (flavorless) cornstarch. The best thing I can say about any wheatless bread is that it keeps your hands clean when you're eating a tuna salad sandwich. I haven't found any that come close to duplicating the flavor and texture of wheat bread.

I've found wheatless cookies and pastries to be more successful.

Then again, I'm a snob who hated supermarket bread and always made my own.

7. The variety of gluten free bread in supermarkets isn't very good here in Germany

and almost all have corn in it. That is why we try to bake the bread ourselves.

Today I went and bought different flours. sorghum, rice and amaranth. Next step will be baking the bread. Do you have any recipes. Or the ratio in which you use the flours? I am very new to this gluten free baking stuff.
