If you have gluten intolerance this does not mean that you have to give up deserts. It is easy to make gluten free cupcakes San Diego without sacrificing taste. When making these types of cupcakes you do need to make some changes because of not using wheat flour in your recipes. The gluten that is found in wheat flour is what gives the texture, volume, and structure in a cupcake. To put together a gluten free cupcake you will need use flour that does not have gluten in it, of which you have several to choose from.
Ingredients
When you use gluten products, it will create a web to trap the air and allow it to get bigger, which is important to the texture and structure of your cupcakes. Using flour that is gluten free, you do not have the gluten web so these cupcakes depend on other ingredients to lock in the air to give them texture and structure. Many of the ingredients you can use can be found at your supermarket but if you need specialty ingredients, you would have to purchase them online, a store that sells natural foods, or a baking shop.
Gluten free flour
The key to choosing the correct flour is knowing how you want to have your cupcakes to turn out. The different types of flour that is gluten free San Diego has their own unique properties and flavors.
• Multi-purpose flour—to reduce the number of ingredients you will need for the cupcakes and has a mild flavor; this is the flour to choose. The starches and gluten-free flour is already there to help mimic the affects of gluten. If you are new to baking gluten free, this is the best flour to use.
• Amaranth flour—this ancient grain flour is what to use when you are looking for a nutritious option. It binds with water well and is high in fiber. To get the right consistency for your cupcakes you may have to use more water. It works better with a flour blend because of the corn flavor, which is mild.
• Tapioca or sorghum flour—it has a texture that is comparable to wheat flour with a mild flavor. Both of these types of flours can be used many baked goods in addition to cupcakes.
• Cassava flour—this is a one to one switch with wheat flour with the flavor and properties that are like cake flour. By using this type of gluten free flour, you should be able to use a regular recipe for cupcakes and switch the two flours. The only issue with this flour is finding a store where you can get it.
