I tried this one Dave, its really nice. I used Odlums Tritamyl flour as it suits me fine.

Well done and thanks Very Happy

Hi Joanne,

Just wondering if you substituted all flour types with the tritamyl flour? I find it very awkward stocking various flour types!

Thanks

Yes Nellie, i substituted all flour with Tritamyl flour, I dont bother and cant really afford to buy a load of different flours, I use only Tritamyl, but always make sure to throw in a tsp of Xantham gum, and its worked fine for me.

Thats great - I've tried the gluten free bread in Rolys in Dun Laoighre and its divine - this looks and sounds like something on the same lines!!
