Gluten Free Puff Pastry Recipe

Image: Gluten Free Puffed Pastry Dough

I have had many requests for a gluten free puff pastry recipe that does not take 3 days to make. This one can be made in one day and used for pastries like Danish as well as savory dishes such as beef wellington. One of my cookbook recipe testers stated, “Some things are worth waiting/working for.”

Phyllo Dough is very thin sheets of dough. Even though both recipes are actually gluten free puff pastry, it is the closest thing we can use in gluten free baking. There are differences between the two recipes. Some of the differences in this gluten free puff pastry dough recipe is that it contains butter in the dough, more flour in the butter block, less butter for the butter block, much more yeast in the dough, and the addition of eggs. Once the butter is added and folded, there are only three rolls and folds to perform. You only have to fold in half or in thirds, no fancy envelope folds. Be sure to read the Tips section and the entire recipe prior to making it. I used this gluten free puff pastry recipe in my Gluten Free Danish Recipe and more.

UPDATE: Look for this recipe in my upcoming cookbook, Carla’s Best 125 Gluten-Free Recipes.

There’s nothing like using real butter in a chocolate cake; however, what do you to make a gluten free dairy free chocolate cake, rich? Enjoy Life allergen-friendly baking chocolate contains dairy free cocoa butter. I used that instead of butter and cocoa powder, along with some oil, to create this light, airy chocolate cake. The cake turned out incredibly light. I topped it with gluten free dairy free whipping cream, caramel sauce, and chopped dairy free chocolate. Yum! I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Candy Melts Substitute Recipe (Corn-Free Options)

Image: Gluten Free Dairy Free Cake Pops

You may find it difficult to find gluten free dairy free candy melts as most contain dairy. In addition, it is hard to find gluten free dairy free white chocolate to coat cake pops or truffles. Wilton’s does make one that is gluten free, but not dairy-free. To learn more about Wilton gluten free products, see discussion here from 2011. However, the recipe below works well as a substitute. If you have corn allergies, consider using Lyle’s Golden Syrup or gluten-free brown rice syrup, such as Lundberg brand instead of corn syrup. They will just turn out a bit darker in color. Meanwhile, I hope you find this recipe useful. Continue reading “Gluten Free Dairy Free Candy Melts Substitute Recipe (Corn-Free Options)”

Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies: Sweet or Savory (Dairy-Free)

When you just cannot deal with rolling a double gluten free pie crust, these mini fried gluten free pies are ideal. However, unlike pie crust, they are crunchy. You may fill them with sweet or savory fillings. For my test recipe I just used Comstock fruit pie filling. Both Comstock and Wilderness brands are gluten free. These little gems are similar to empanadas (Spanish pies), but instead of baking them, you fry them. When empanadas are made in smaller sizes to serve as appetizers, such as these, they are named tapas. You may wish to check out my savory gluten free empanada filling (the crust on that recipe is a traditional gluten free pie crust), or my homemade sauteed apples for a healthier filling, if you’re not a quick open-a-can type of person.

Gluten Free Yule Log

This gluten free yule log recipe, also known as a roulade, is a slight variation of my Flourless Gluten Free Chocolate Roll Cake Roulade Recipe except this one is not coated in chocolate. If you use white frosting as a filling, it is sweet enough on its own. However, you can certainly use whipped cream, if desired. If using whipped cream, be sure to see the tips below to create it with more structure for it to roll nicely. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this recipe. Happy holidays!
