Quick answer
What flours are gluten-free bakes made with?
Most often rice, corn, buckwheat, or almond flour, usually with a little starch or psyllium for stretch. The result is a fluffy cake or crisp bread without any wheat.

Frequently asked questions
Can I just swap regular flour for a gluten-free one?
In pancakes it usually works; in yeasted dough it doesn't — gluten-free flours lack gluten's stretch. Follow recipes written gluten-free from the start, or add psyllium or xanthan gum.
Are these recipes safe for celiac disease?
The recipes leave out gluten, but always check your specific ingredients — flours, oats, and spices need to be labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
Are some dishes naturally gluten-free?
Loads. Risotto, potatoes, meat, fish, legumes, salads, and most vegetables contain no gluten — as long as you don't thicken them with wheat flour.
How do I thicken a sauce or soup without wheat flour?
With cornstarch or potato starch, rice flour, or simply by blending some of the vegetables from the pot. Stir the starch into cold water, pour it into the simmering liquid, and it thickens within a minute.
