Problem: Gluten-free baked goods crumble and are often dry
Gluten gives dough its elasticity and allows it to hold together and rise. Without gluten, many gluten-free doughs lack structure, often resulting in crumbly and dry results. But with the right techniques and ingredients, you can easily avoid this.
Here are 5 simple tricks to make perfect gluten-free breads, cakes and cookies without them falling apart or becoming dry.
1st trick: add moisture
One of the most common mistakes in gluten-free baking is using too little liquid. Gluten-free flours, especially corn or rice flour, absorb more moisture than regular wheat flours. If you don't use enough liquid, the dough will be dry and crumbly.
Magic flour as a solution:
Magic flour Veatzz contains chickpea flour, which binds moisture particularly well. Nevertheless, you should always make sure to use a little more liquid than with recipes that contain gluten. For example, add some plant-based milk, yogurt or apple sauce to your dough to ensure the necessary moisture. With magic flour, your dough stays smooth and your baked goods nice and moist.
2nd trick: let the dough rest
Gluten-free doughs need time to absorb the liquid and settle. If you work with the dough immediately, it can easily fall apart or become dry during baking.
Magic flour as a solution:
After mixing, let your dough rest for at least 10-15 minutes before you continue working with it. The chickpea flour in Magic Flour Veatzz absorbs moisture particularly well and ensures that the dough remains smooth. A little patience makes the difference between crumbly and perfectly fluffy baked goods!
3rd trick: use binding agents
Gluten-free doughs need a binding agent to hold the ingredients together. Many gluten-free flours are starchy and offer little structure. Without the right binding agent, breads and cakes become crumbly and do not hold together well.
Magic flour as a solution:
Thanks to the tapioca starch it contains , Zaubermehl Veatzz already has a natural binding agent. Tapioca ensures elasticity and a better structure in the dough, which is particularly important for breads and cakes. You can also use natural binding agents such as ground psyllium husks or chia seeds to optimize the dough binding.
4th trick: use baking tins correctly
When baking gluten-free, the right pan is very important. Gluten-free doughs are often softer and stickier and need support to rise properly. If you put the dough in a pan that is too big or unsuitable, it will not bake evenly and will end up falling apart.
Magic flour as a solution:
Use smaller baking pans or choose baking pans with high sides to give gluten-free doughs extra support. Magic Flour Veatzz gives your dough the elasticity it needs so that it rises nicely in the pan and doesn't collapse.
5th trick: The right flour for the right consistency
Flour is the heart of your gluten-free baked goods. Many gluten-free flours, such as rice or corn flour, provide little flavor and structure. Choosing the right flour is crucial to achieving a moist, flavorful result.
Magic flour as a solution:
Magic flour Veatzz is a balanced mixture of chickpea flour, rice flour and tapioca starch that gives your dough structure and flavor. Chickpea flour adds additional fiber and protein to the dough, which not only ensures a better consistency, but also more nutrients. This means your baked goods not only stay stable, but also taste better.
