So now you know all about the different types of gluten free flour, how do you actually use them? And can you use them in the same way as regular flour?

In terms of this recipe overall… This one is an old recipe and I also have a more up to date option (which does use psyllium) that you may also like to look at and compare. This is the link: There are a few places that you can buy gluten free brown bread flour. The most common place to find it is at a health food store. You can also find it online or at a specialty baking store. If you have trouble finding it, you can always make your own gluten free flour at home. Yes. This gluten free wholemeal will freeze well (although may lose a tiny bit of ‘elasticity’ once defrosted). It is best to freeze on the day of baking for optimum freshness. Also make sure it is well wrapped in a sealed bag before freezing. I have just one bag that I recycle for each batch to save on plastic waste.

No! Anything with the word “wheat” in the title will contain gluten, one of the 3 main sources of gluten. Is whole grain gluten free?

The final say

So if you do decide to make your own, be sure to use oats that are already clearly labelled gluten free. Easy to make yourself or simply buy readymade, oat flour is another great swap for regular flour that doesn’t contain gluten. After several trial runs with this recipe, I decided that the best shape to get an even bake and easy-to-slice loaf was to shape it into a levelled rectangle or oblong loaf. Bearing in mind that it is more traditional to mould soda bread into a round shape, I changed the shape of this brown bread for practical purposes. Of course, go ahead if you prefer the original shape with the cross shape slashed on the top as in my gluten-free soda bread.
