Getting Started: Stocking a Gluten-Free Kitchen

Creating a dedicated gluten-free kitchen takes a bit of planning but pays off in safety and ease. Keep these tips in mind:

  • Label and Separate: Store gluten-free flours and grains away from wheat-based products.

  • Essential Ingredients: Always keep gluten-free baking powder, xanthan gum, almond flour, coconut flour, and oat flour (certified gluten-free) on hand.

  • Cross-Contamination: Use separate utensils and toasters for gluten-free foods.

Breakfast: Energizing the Day with Gluten-Free Choices

Breakfast is a breeze with these easy, nutritious ideas:

  • Avocado Toast: Smash avocado on toasted Be Keto bread, drizzle with olive oil, and add a sprinkle of chili flakes. The bread’s low-carb, gluten-free profile makes it an ideal base for a quick, filling breakfast.

  • Berry Breakfast Bowl: Layer Greek yogurt with gluten-free granola and fresh berries.

  • Fluffy Pancakes: Whip up pancakes with a blend of gluten-free oat flour and almond flour-try topping with honey, banana, or cinnamon apples.

Routine Lunches: Quick and Nourishing

Lunch doesn’t need to be complicated to be satisfying and safe.

  • Loaded Sandwiches: Use Be Keto bread as your platform for classic or creative sandwiches-think herby chicken salad, hummus and roasted veg, or classic BLT.

  • Soup and Bread: Pair homemade tomato soup with a toasted, buttered slice of gluten-free bread for comfort food perfection.

  • Quinoa Salad Jars: Prep jars with layers of cooked quinoa, chopped veggies, feta, and seeds-great for work or home.

Dinnertime: Easy, Family-Friendly Mains

Make dinner stress-free with recipes everyone will love, gluten-free or not.

  • Baked Chicken Parmesan (Gluten-Free): Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to coat the chicken.

  • Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: Top roasted sweet potatoes with black beans, salsa, and cheese for a vegetarian main.

  • Veggie Stir Fry: Toss your favorite chopped vegetables in tamari (a gluten-free soy sauce) and serve with rice or rice noodles.

Snacking Without Worry

Gluten can lurk in prepared snacks, but these ideas keep things safe and tasty:

  • Crunchy Chickpeas: Roast chickpeas in the oven with olive oil and spices.

  • Energy Bites: Blend dates, seeds, and gluten-free oats, then roll into bite-sized balls.

  • Toasties: Quickly toast up Be Keto bread, then top with almond butter, fruit, or even a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips for a treat.

Baking: Achieving the Perfect Gluten-Free Texture

The secret to great gluten-free baking is all in the technique and a few key ingredients:

  • Flour Blends: Mixing different gluten-free flours (rice, sorghum, almond, potato starch) mimics the structure of traditional flour.

  • Baking Aids: Xanthan gum or psyllium husk can replace gluten’s elasticity, ensuring your bread rises and holds together.

  • Moisture Matters: Gluten-free dough often needs extra moisture-don’t be afraid to use a bit more oil or milk than standard recipes.

Recipes: Crowd-Pleasing Gluten-Free Staples

Classic Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend already includes it)

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 ½ cups warm milk (dairy-free if needed)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf tin with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and honey.

  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients. The batter will be looser than wheat-based dough.

  4. Pour into the tin, smooth the top, and bake for 40–50 minutes, until golden.

  5. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Safety First: Avoiding Common Pitfalls
