Dough Elasticity Pliable & Cut-Friendly
In standard wheat flour, water insoluble glutenin and gliadin crosslink into a viscoelastic hydrogel that traps expanding CO2 gas like elastic balloons. Without true gluten, GF flours rely on soluble proteins (egg whites) or long polysaccharide gums (xanthan, psyllium) to build artificial hydrocolloid walls.
Cross-Contamination Alert Commercial oat flour frequently carries field or milling cross-contact with wheat, rye, or barley. Certified pure GF oats are required for coeliacs.
