Gluten Free Baking
This is our first episode discussing gluten free baking. Unfortunately, the baking audio for this episode was lost and couldn’t be recovered, but we hope you enjoy our discussion of Jessie Sheehan’s incredible Flourless Hazelnut Nutella Cake nonetheless. We go over what gluten is, what ingredients it’s found in, and some easy approaches for GF baking newcomers.
