Remember I told you about those crazy allergy people I mentioned? Well,
here's a recipe for bread which doesn't use wheat. I don't know if you're
interested, but it might be a fun science project...

Xanthan Gum is a tiny creamy white powder, and acts as a substitute for
gluten and gives structure to the bread so that the dough will rise and
set when baked. Xanthan Gum is food additive number 4t 5.
>
Guar gum is a powdery substance with a similar function to Xanthan Gum.
It is high in fibre and can sometimes have a laxative effect to people
with sensitive digestive systems. Guar gum is food additive 4t 2.
>
Ensure that the vinegar used is gluten tree. Vinegar helps to strengthen
the dough to rise better.
>
Lactose Intolerance; the milk powder may be substituted with a soy milk
powder. Substituting the milk powder with a soy milk powder will result
in a heavier loaf.
