I’ve struggled to find a satisfactory gluten-free bun that in some ways mimic a regular bun. So Emma and I are constantly on the look-out for new possibilities. The other day we found a “new to us” roll courtesy of Schar, it looked perfect, but many gluten-free breads do — until you taste them. So how’d this one do?
I’m having a quiet wrestling match in my brain, trying to figure out how Emma could have been glutenized.

It’s enough to make you crazy!

But for a gluten-free baker (and I’m using that term VERY loosely), trying different flours is important.

From a new gluten-free pizza availability in the Twin Cities, to a college class project that’s making gluten-free news…these and more are some quick news items that I wanted to let you know about… Red’s Savoy Pizza The north metro of the Twin Cities has another option now for gluten-free pizza. Red’s Savoy Pizza in Hugo and Coon Rapids has a 10″ gluten-free option. Both are located conveniently off major roads. So even if you’re not a north metro person and you’re just traveling through, the Hugo location is just off I-35E and the Coon Rapids location is just off Highway 10. Stomach discomfort? Don’t Rule out Celiac Celiac.com recently reported a study that said “…upwards of 4% of people with generalized gastrointestinal complaints show elevated celiac disease antibodies when screened.” The study is published in the September issue of Journal of Gastrointestinal Liver Diseases.

Celiac.com summarized the study by saying, “Generalized gastrointestinal complaints are a common indication of atypical celiac disease.

“The Goldfish Crackers at soccer aren’t gluten-free so let’s get you a gluten-free cookie or donut instead!” Hey, you may be eating junk food — but at least you’re staying on your gluten-free diet right? But you may not be doing much for the rest of your health. Why do some celiacs feel entitled to eat a lot of gluten-free junk food? I explore some possibilites just within my own family.
