Quanities for Xanthan Gum

XANTHAN GUM replaces the gluten found in wheat. Gluten is what makes the dough "sticky" and binds it together. When cooking gluten-free, you must replace the gluten with xanthan gum. It's quite expensive, but as you will see a little bit goes a long way. Also, keep the xanthan gum in the refrigerator for later use. Here's the quantities you will need as you use xanthan gum:

1/4 tsp. for cookies

1/2 tsp. for cakes

3/4 tsp. for muffins & quick breads

1 - 1 1/2 tsp. for breads

2 tsp. for pizza crust

One step at a time, there is a lot to learn. New ingredients, new recipies. You can do it!
