People in Ireland who have coeliac disease or are gluten intolerant will now find it easier to shop, cook and eat out safely.
That is thanks to new mobile phone app ‘Minding Me, Gluten Free’ for those who have to live on a gluten free diet.
The app developed by the Coeliac Society of Ireland was launched today as part of Coeliac Awareness Week 2021.
It includes a Food List with more than 6,500 gluten free food products and a barcode scanner. This means users can check if a product is gluten free while they are doing their shopping. It also contains nutritional information and advice, food product alerts, and recipes.
Method
Mix your warm water, yeast and sugar in a jug, then allow to stand for 10 minutes until nice and frothy.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add your flour, xanthan gum, psyllium husk powder and salt. Mix together until well combined, then add your egg, vinegar, oil and frothy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
Either in a stand mixer fitted with a beater attachment or with an electric hand whisk, mix on a high speed for three minutes until well combined. It should look like a very thick, sticky batter. Leave to rest for about 10 minutes.
