I don’t think that would work. I would follow a recipe for GF AP flour like this one: https://alittleinsanity.com/all-purpose-gluten-free-flour-mix-recipe/

Or if you want to get more technical, you could read Shauna James Ehren’s book Gluten Free Girl, based on her blog of the same name. She is a brilliant baker and inspired a generation of GF bakers, myself included.

Idk how to add a link so here it is from amazon.

Try this cook book: https://www.amazon.com/Cannelle-Vanille-Bakes-Simple-Gluten-Free/dp/1632173700

I love it. She has the best bread recipe out there, plus other good stuff too, all from scratch. Just eating some bread now :)

I’m not sure what any of this recipes are but I have a couple suggestions for you.

1. There’s a great GF flour blend that mimics white wheat flour really well in most applications. The recipe link is here: https://alittleinsanity.com/all-purpose-gluten-free-flour-mix-recipe/

It’s starchy, so it’s not exactly “healthy” but it works well and holds together. Just don’t forget the xantham gum. I’ve used it successfully in cookies, cakes, quick breads and muffins. In Gf baking, if you can use eggs and dairy, usually they turn out well.

1. If you want to get into GF baking there are a ton of cookbooks. The two that pop into my head immediately are Cook’s Illustrated GF Baking at home. They rigorously test their recipes so they are guaranteed to work if you follow the instructions and measurements. The other is of a different vein: she’s a stay at home mom turned pastry chef and who I learned how to do GF baking from. It’s also science-y but more specific with how she makes her flours and have a healthier bent.

Good luck

I use this brand of mix: Pamela's Products Gluten-free... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001L4JH5I?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Zojirushi bb-pac20 bread machine. I always use less than the 3.5 cups called out and the bread comes out super spongy and delicious. I'm also on the lookout for other gf flours so i don't have to rely on this brand but for now this one's the winner at my house.

If you are interested in simplicity maybe look at Roben Ryberg. She eschews complicated blends https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Gluten-Free-Cookie-Book-ebook/dp/B00499DSG6

Not all her books are still in print but this is a good one https://www.amazon.com/You-Still-Wont-Believe-Gluten-Free-ebook/dp/B00CGNPPB8

Each commercial GF blend is different and GF baking can be tricky. I stick mainly to mug cakes and microwave bread. This is a good resource on the topic of GF baking https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com

If you are open to mug cakes and two-serving cakes this is a good resource although I use carton egg whites, powdered egg replacer, or just half an egg where the author uses an egg https://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Five-Minutes-Recipes-Muffins-ebook/dp/B0053GPT9S

Thanks so much! And sorry, I wasn’t clear about the gingerbread pan I was referring to (here’s a link to the one I have in case you’re interested: Nordic Ware Gingerbread Kids Cakelet Pan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XD85L2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DV4YD0N4HDM8WGQRBM28?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)

Will try melted butter and flour. Thank you!!

Thank you!! And no worries, I wasn’t clear about what gingerbread pan I was referring to (here’s a link to the one I have in case you’re interested): Nordic Ware Gingerbread Kids Cakelet Pan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XD85L2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DV4YD0N4HDM8WGQRBM28?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Will try your suggestions for the future! Thank you!!

I will be honest and say I havent tried any of these yet but my gluten free friend recommended it so highly that I bought it. She has made almost all of them and said they turned out great. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1558327967/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_GPC1B2XHA9GAZZQ7CRE2

It's getting to be science these days. Chemistry mixed with a splash of physics and a pinch of thermodynamics. LoL.

I just tried the Caputo Fioreglut - made jalapeno / cheddar Focaccia. I like the chew. I can see that it could make a really good pizza crust (getting mozzarella and toppings tonight). It's GF, but not for people with wheat allergies. I found it bland, so definitely add flavor.

Psyhillium husks, gums, egg white powder - yeah, I get it. Next gen includes stuff like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P11722M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_ZF50PCN4JDJJE24CP222?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
