Homemade Gluten-Free Baking Essentials

December 12, 2013 by FaveGlutenFreeRecipes

Those who are no strangers to the gluten-free lifestyle know that it’s not a cheap lifestyle. Flour, bread, even pasta costs more when the packaging is stamped with that “gluten-free” symbol. It seems that the price of everything has been going up lately, and it’s said that you have to spend more just to make your favorite chocolate cake. With the Christmas fast approaching, cookies and other baked goods are in order. FaveGlutenFreeRecipes has a host of DIY baking ingredients that will help you cut your costs this holiday season.

Instead of shelling out the $7 (!) for a bag of gluten-free all purpose flour, here are some quick and easy ways that you can make flour (as well as other essential baking ingredients) at home and for way less than the shelf price.
