    What is gluten cross contamination?

    If you aren't used to cooking gluten free you may not know that you can cross contaminate. You may have the best intentions to serve gluten free food for you family and friends, but still make them sick.

    You need to remember to make the gluten free food separately. Don't use the same bowls, spoons, mixer blade, etc. until they have been washed thoroughly with soap and water.

    I would start with making the gluten free snacks and then store them separately from the other snacks you make. By making the gluten free treats first you won't have to worry about cross contamination with the other yummy things you are making to serve.

    Gluten Free Pasta Chips

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Ingredients

    • Jovial Farfalle Brown Rice Pasta
    • Olive Oil
    • Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
    • Sea Salt
    • Apple Cider Vinegar

    Instructions

    Cook the pasta per the instructions on the package.

    Drain the pasta and pour it into a mixing bowl. Immediately add olive oil and stir to help the pasta not clump together.

    Divide the pasta between two bowls and add the seasoning to each bowl. If you are only going to use one flavor you can use one bowl, but remember to divide the pasta into two batches for air frying.

    Add the first batch of pasta to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. At the five minute mark take the tray out and shake the pasta so it doesn't clump together. Place the tray back in the air fryer and let your pasta finish cooking.

    Pour the pasta chips into a bowl or onto a cookie sheet to let them cool.

    Follow the same instructions to cook the second batch of pasta chips.

    Serve plain or with your favorite dip. I served these with ranch dip.

    Supplies

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

    Yes! My favorite pasta to use is Jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Farfalle pasta. The brown rice pasta holds together the best when I shake is half way through cooking in the air fryer basket to separate the pieces of pasta.

    How long does it take to make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

    Like many gluten free foods it takes a bit longer to make gluten free pasta chips that it does using regular wheat pasta. I cooked these chips at 400 degrees for ten minutes. At the five minute mark I pulled the air fryer basket out and shook the chips so they weren't clumped together.

    I let the pasta chips cook for another five minutes and then poured them into a bowl to cool. They will be very hot and continue to cook a bit after you have poured them out to cool.

    Top Tip

    You could really add any seasoning blend you want or omit the seasoning all together and just add some salt. It is key that you add enough olive oil so the pasta doesn't clump together. This will help when you open the air fryer half way through cooking and shake the pasta to separate it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies take longer to bake?

    Yes, gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center.
     
    If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.

    How long will these breakfast cookies last?

    These cookies will last about a week in an air tight container. You can store them on the counter or in the refrigerator. You can also freeze these cookies in a freezer safe container for up to a month.
     
    I like to freeze a few cookies in a container so I can take them out and add them to lunches. They are great to have in case I haven't planned ahead with something else. I also like to double the batch so we can eat half and freeze half.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Keto bread made of?

    Keto bread usually has a base of almond flour and/or coconut flour. Then eggs, baking powder, milk and an oil are added to form the bread. For this gluten free Italian Keto bread I also added spices, parmesan cheese and olive oil to give the bread a delicious flavor.

    My bread may be a bit more yellow than yours because I used farm fresh duck eggs for this recipe. Duck eggs tend to have a darker yolk than chicken eggs and will give your bread a darker color.

    How do I store my Keto bread?

    This gluten free Italian keto bread is best stored in the refrigerator. Since there are no preservatives this bread won't last for more than a couple of days on your countertop before it goes bad. Especially if the temperature is warm or if moisture gets into the container you are storing the bread in.

    Can I freeze this gluten free Italian keto bread?

    Yes! This bread recipe freezes really well. I love to make extra loaves to freeze and then defrost when I want them to go with dinner or for lunches. I wrap the bread in tinfoil and then store it in a freezer safe bag. You could also store this bread in a freezer safe container.

    You may be wondering why a gluten free recipe website is giving you a keto or low carb recipe. I don't eat a low carb or keto diet personally, but I have found that keto breads hold together really well, have a nice texture and are delicious. This makes them a great alternative to buying expensive gluten free bread at the grocery store.

    Gluten Free Bagels

    This easy recipe for gluten free bagels are boiled and then baked to get the perfect texture. These homemade bagels are made with yeast and I used everything seasoning on top. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack with cream cheese spread on them.

    Buying gluten free bagels can get expensive! I found some of the brands upset my gut and others were too dry for me. So I started testing making my own. I think what is key for this gluten free version is boiling them in molasses water.

    If you are looking for more bread recipes try my Gluten Free Sourdough Bread, my Gluten Free Gingerbread Scones, my Gluten Free Cornbread or my Gluten Free Buttermilk Drop Biscuits.

    Warm Water
    Active Dry Yeast
    Honey
    Gluten Free Flour
    Sea Salt
    Unsalted Butter
    Baking Soda
    Molasses
    Egg

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 

    In a small bowl add the warm water and honey. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let stand for 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to get foamy on top. 

    In the bowl of your stand mixer beat together the gluten free flour, salt and butter. You can use your dough hook or the beater at this point. Add the yeast mixture and blend until a dough forms.

    Divide the dough into five even balls. Form each ball into a bagel shape and place on the baking sheet.

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the baking soda and molasses to the boiling water.

    Carefully lower 1-2 bagels at a time into the boiling water. Boil on one side for 3 minutes and then flip and boil on the other side for 1 minute. Carefully remove them from the pot and place them on the baking sheet.

    In a small bowl beat the egg until frothy. Brush each bagel with egg and then sprinkle with salt or everything bagel seasoning. 

    Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. The bagels will be golden brown when they are done.

    Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What can I make with gluten free bagels?

    I'm a big fan of eating my gluten free bagels with whipped cream cheese on them. But, I also love a good bagel sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and turkey. For a breakfast version I fry eggs, melt cheese on them and spread mayonnaise on my bagel for a breakfast sandwich.

    Can I freeze my gluten free bagels?

    Yes! Bagels can be frozen in a freezer safe container or bags. I like to freeze them individually so I can get one out at a time as I want them. Although, this recipe makes 5 bagels and they go pretty quickly at our house. You may want to double this recipe so you have bagels to freeze for later.

    Do I need to use eggs on my bagels?

    In my opinion, yes you should use an egg or egg substitute on your gluten free bagels. The egg will help brown and have a nice outer layer like a bagel you would purchase in the store.

    Eggs also add moisture to the outside of the bagel, if you can't use eggs you need to substitute with either flax seed meal and water or applesauce. You could use a combination of the two, but it will alter the flavor and texture some.

    In a small bowl add the warm water and honey. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let stand for 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to get foamy on top. 

    In the bowl of your stand mixer beat together the gluten free flour, salt and butter. You can use your dough hook or the beater at this point. Add the yeast mixture and blend until a dough forms.

    Divide the dough into five even balls. Form each ball into a bagel shape and place on the baking sheet.

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the baking soda and molasses to the boiling water.

    Carefully lower 1-2 bagels at a time into the boiling water. Boil on one side for 3 minutes and then flip and boil on the other side for 1 minute. Carefully remove them from the pot and place them on the baking sheet.

    In a small bowl beat the egg until frothy. Brush each bagel with egg and then sprinkle with salt or everything bagel seasoning. 

    Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. The bagels will be golden brown when they are done.

    Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

    Top Tip

    Since gluten free breads and bagels don't rise as much as ones made with wheat it's important to use the boiling process. The bagels really puff up in the water and then continue to rise a little when they are baked. It really helps you to get a fluffier bagel that doesn't have a dry texture.
