Bake with these gluten-free grains for bread under the guidance of a pastry chef and a doctor with this simple gluten-free bread recipe book.

It all started with an unlikely partnership between a pastry chef and a doctor. A national bestselling series of cookbooks resulted, featuring delicious and simple gluten-free bread bread recipes with instructions simple enough for even a self-proclaimed “so-so” baker, such as myself. Jeff Hertzberg’s and Zoë François’ differing backgrounds marry flavor, ease of preparation, and balanced nutrition to produce artisan bread creations that can be prepared in minutes and baked fresh daily. Even better, the duo’s latest installment adapts the beloved quick and delicious creations into recipes that can be enjoyed by individuals who have long since assumed tasty bakery treats are a thing of the past: those on a gluten-free diet.

As a person diagnosed with celiac disease, my diet is barren of doughy treats, buns, loaves, and most bakery goodness. Imagine my pure delight when I discovered this collection of 90 recipes made with gluten-free ingredients, so many new culinary options to add variety to my somewhat bland daily menus.

No doubt, you know one or more people who require a gluten-free lifestyle. This limiting diet has become less rare over the years as more scientific research is available on several illnesses. There are now three known types of medical issues caused by consuming variants of wheat, barley, and rye: celiac disease, wheat allergy, and gluten sensitivity.

Celiac Disease

An autoimmune disorder known as celiac disease can be definitively diagnosed through biopsy of the upper small intestine. While often mistaken as an allergy, celiac disease causes the body to mount an immune response triggered by gluten protein. The result can be a variety of symptoms, beginning with a decrease in nutrient absorption in the damaged intestine. This can lead to anemia as well as many unpleasant digestive issues. Malnutrition can cause an extensive list of complications that are often misdiagnosed. Celiac disease is estimated to affect nearly 1 out of 100 individuals. The tiniest amount of gluten (1⁄2,000 of an ounce) can trigger an autoimmune response, although this number can vary. Because of this low threshold, the only treatment for this disease is a completely gluten-free diet.
