It has been a challenge finding bread for my recently diagnosised 20yr old daughter with multi allergies (egg,wheat,yeast,dairy). Anything else you come up with would truely be appreciated. Published cookbooks rarely cover recipes that my daughter can eat. If it were not for the people on the internet willing to help people with special diet concerns....her saddness would be 10X what it has been. One more thing, when my daughter accidentaly eats one of her allergens, she loses a day or two of her life, and sinks into a reaction deep depression. If I had not witnessed it myself, I would not believe depression could be a side effect of ingesting an allergen. She is still learning about her body. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.

Did you follow the directions as listed here? If you do, the recipe should work. You probably didn't cook the dough long enough, or may have needed more water. The recipe should not taste bitter unless the flour was rancid. Hope this helps. -Sea Hi CM, I’m sorry that you had a bad experience. Did you follow the directions as listed here?

I believe it is related botanically to broom corn, but it is not corn, so you should consider giving it a try. Because it is a plain whole grain, a pure source would not contain yeast, rice, corn or any other ingredient. -Sea Margaret- Sorghum is a gluten-free grain.

Do read labels, of course. Baking powder reputedly has occasionally contained gluten, although the regular store brands I buy (Clabber Girl) do not. You really don't need to buy special gluten-free company brands of those baking supplies, in my opinion- they will just cost you more for no good reason. Buckwheat is tricky, unfortunately. What most of us do is buy buckwheat groats (packaged in gluten-free facility) from Bob's Red Mill and then grind them in a food processor or coffee grinder (the later if you don't use it for coffee- otherwise your flour will taste like coffee). millet is far easier. Bob's Red mill sells gluten-free facility processed millet flour. Easy peasy! Hope this helps! -Sea Lynn, I suspect you are not cooking the dough long enough - this results in it sticking to the plastic. And, the tortillas can crumble if the pressed tortillas get too dry. Your pan may also be the issue. A good, fairly new nonstick pan (or just one that hasn't been damaged by high heat) works well or a very well seasoned cast iron pan. Good luck! -Sea Hi Dianne,
