What is Gluten’s Role in Baking?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Gluten helps give cakes their light fluffy texture, gives biscuits their desired crumb texture, and is important in ensuring the ideal consistency for dough.
The gluten protein has an important influence over the texture and structure of desserts and sweet treats, as well as the texture and profile of bread, for this reason substituting flours containing gluten for gluten free alternatives is not as simple as exchanging one ingredient for another. For hints, tips and gluten free substitute ingredients see the ‘Coeliac’ page of this site. Our recipe collection also features a range of gluten free treats for everyday delights to decadent desserts.
