Bob's Red Mill Xanthan Gum



I told you I wanted to bake some gluten free bread. Certainly I wanted best results so I bought a bag of xanthan gum.


"Xanthan Gum is made from the outer layer of a tiny, inactive bacterium called Xanthamonas compestris. It is an excellent all-purpose thickener for dressings, gravies and sauces. Its unique ability to hold small particles of food together makes it the ideal substitute for gluten in gluten-free baking. Most recipes call for only 1 or 2 teaspoons, so it goes a long way."

It better, this gum is pricey! Available at Mother's Market for $11.49 in an 8-oz package.
