I asked for suggestions for gluten-free lasagne and a gluten-free
strufoli recipe. I received tons of responses! Unfortunately, no one
had done a GF strufoli but many offered their suggestions for a GF
substitute for all-purpose flour. I'm so grateful to all of you for
your responses. Especially to Samantha for letting me know that Cafe
Baldo on Long Island makes GF cannoli! Another person reminded me that
non-Italians love food too. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Of
course, we all love it and food is an important part of celebrations in
every culture. On to the summary . . .
GF all purpose flour sub:
5 suggested Bette Hagman's all-purpose GF flour blend (add 1/2 tsp
xanthan gum per 1 c flour); 1 person thinks the BH mix is gritty
2 suggested Gluten Free Pantry's french bread/pizza mix; 1 suggested
adding egg whites, additional yeast or baking soda to lighten it
2 suggested a mix of tapioca flour and white rice flour (1 recommended
proportions of 1 c tapioca flour to 2 c rice flour)
1 suggestion each for: Authentic Foods pancake mix; Ener-G Foods All
Purpose Flour; cornstarch or almond flour (cup for cup substitute);
Bob's Red Mill teff flour (sub 3/4 c + 1 tsp xanthan gum per cup
all-purpose flour)
"Stuffed" macaronis (lasagna, shells, ravioli, etc.):
17 suggested Tinkyada lasagna noodles
6 suggested Ener-G Foods lasagna noodles
6 suggested De Boles lasagna noodles (2 suggestions for De Boles
no-boil)
6 suggested Pastariso lasagna noodles; 1 said they break down when
reheated as leftovers
5 suggested Bi-Aglut lasagna noodles
3 suggested Ener-G Foods large shells; unfortunately these are not as
big as I'd like for stuffed shells
2 suggested not boiling the lasagna noodles before baking for a
firmer noodle
2 suggested Dietary Specialties frozen pre-stuffed shells
2 suggested homemade dough is the way to go
1 suggestion each for Dietary Specialties cheese ravioli; polenta
lasagna (definitely going to try this); white corn tortillas instead
of noodles
Ricotta:
2 have no problems with ricotta; 1 said the trouble with ricotta is
distilled vinegar so if that is not a problem for me, ricotta should
be OK
1 suggestion each for Dragone; Frigo; Sorrento; Stella brands
Misc:
1 suggestion for Dr. Schaar's savoiardi (lady fingers) for tiramisu
Best regards,
Michelle
