REC: Bev-Ann's All-Purpose Flour Substitute -- For sprudil

*** It took me a lot of time, money and experimentation to get this just
right, so if you repost this please give me the credit for it. ***

I'm posting this mainly for Sid, aka sprudil, and it contains ingredients
that I've only been able to find online so be warned in advance that it's
not going to be for the casual baker. :-)
I only use this for baking. I have never tried to use it in other ways
such as a thickening agent in sauces or for coatings on deep fried foods
and doubt that it would work for those purposes. But it makes consistently
light, moist baked goods such as cookies, cakes, muffins, etc. And it's
very healthy with omega-3, beta glucans and lots of fibre.
I order the wheat protein isolate and oat fibre from
www.store.honeyvillegrain.com and the acacia powder from
www.helpforibs.com. I don't suffer from IBS; they're just the least
expensive supplier I've found.
I buy everything else from a local natural foods grocery store.

Thanks Bev.

The only things I don't have (or sub) is the wpi and for that I have a work
around.
Curious why you chose acacia over guar. similar functions. Locust bean is
another.

Sid...

Bev...

Do you use this one for one in any recipe calling for flour? Or have
you developed recipes specifically for it?

Yes, I use it 1 for 1 in any baking recipe calling for flour. I have found
that some things brown a little quicker so bake at the lower time on the
range given for your recipe. For example, if it says 10 to 12 minutes for
cookies, they should be done in 10.
I don't bake anything that requires yeast, but it might work for that too.
You'd have to try it and let me know.

Guar gum gives me terrible gas with bloating but the acacia doesn't. I've
never seen locust bean gum.

Some additional info. I've found that most things brown a little quicker
so start by baking for the lower time required by the recipe. For example,
if a cookie recipe says to bake for 10 to 12 minutes, they should be done
in 10.
