For the first time baker, knowing what to do can be a little daunting. Especially if all you’ve got is a breadmaker, a bag of gluten-free flour and a desperate need to eat something toasted. This was the situation I was in a few years ago when I first discovered that I was a coeliac. Unfortunately for me «desperate need» doesn’t translate into discovering a talent for dough. You know you’ve failed when your dog steals the bread only to return it once he tastes it. So it’s lovely that there is a specialist baking shop that can help. There are classes available, a large range of specialty mixes and flours, advice, appliances, cake decorations, gizmos and whatsits galore. And at the end of it you have bread — now with pride at being self-sufficient.
