Gluten-Free Bread Experiments
Documenting the journey to perfect gluten-free baking
The science of gluten-free bread baking is a fascinating challenge. Without gluten's natural elasticity and structure, achieving proper rise, tender texture, and rich flavor requires experimentation with alternative binders, flour blends, and techniques. This page documents my ongoing experiments—successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way.

🔬 Core Challenge
The hardest part isn't getting the yeast to work—it's maintaining structure as the bread rises and bakes. Without gluten's protein network, finding the right combination of binders (like psyllium husk) and flour blends is critical.
