I was skeptical about the recipe because of the unconventional way of adding the yeast to the flours before blooming it in water, but it worked perfectly.

I'd love to offer suggestions for substitutions, but the fact is, without me *testing* what I suggest, I could lead you astray. Experience has shown me that even the most minor-sounding change could have unintended consequences.

wondering what other flour I could use ...Hi Mike, <br /> wondering what other flour I could use instead of potato starch... I think I need a flour. Do you have a favorite one besides rice that you have used before? I am very new with the whole gluten free and also have a VERY tight budget... so I don't know what to do. ... hmmmm.

Sorry to say, but you will probably have to do what we do when creating all our recipes from scratch: experiment, try things out, see what happens, adjust, repeat. Having not used potato starch as an alternate, I just do not know. It may work, it may not. I like trying such variations with 1/4-batches or 1/2-batches where possibleMike Eberharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410014970702142362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31945578.post-15048247573491497662011-09-20T17:15:44.311-04:002011-09-20T17:15:44.311-04:00I have a question about these breadsticks... could...I have a question about these breadsticks... could I substitute another flour for the rice flour?

As for the yeast, I know there is an "art" to getting the temperature of the water right and making sure you have fresh yeast. My wife has perfected this, and I know it became much easier with a kitchen thermometer. And, be sure the yeast is fresh. Also, a warm rising-environment helps too, but that should be easy enough in the summer Mike Eberharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410014970702142362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31945578.post-51971069266349594672007-08-02T15:54:00.000-04:002007-08-02T15:54:00.000-04:00This is the second time I'm making and they are re...This is the second time I'm making and they are really great!

I baked my baguette today- Yum!<BR/>I do have a question: I adapted the recipe for my bread machine to do the mixing, as I don't have a food processor.
