I’m finding bread recipes online with this phsyllum husk flour. I’m going to give it a try for pizzas. May progress to full blown bread. 😊👍

"It’s often referred to as a bulking fiber because once it is ingested, it expands, forming a gel-like mass by drawing water in from the colon. It then promotes easy, healthy elimination by sweeping waste out of the colon more quickly and efficiently."

Great if your problem is constipation, not so much if you are prone to the opposite.

Definitely fall into the benefit camp! What wonder it will be if eating pizza will have the side benefit of keeping me regular.

Hi Charlie-Farley,

I've also been reading through lots of bread recipes myself and have seen psyllium husk being used. I'm assuming people use it as a gluten substitute as it provides structure?

I've not tried it in pizza bases or bread recipes yet but did use it in a jam recipe a few years ago!? Can't remember if I liked it or not; think I may have found the texture a bit strange.

I really enjoy making overnight no knead bread so I'm currently looking at possible gluten free recipes for that.

It'll be really interesting to find out how your pizzas turn out. Have fun experimenting!

I will report back, but so far I’ve found out that there is more than one type. Apparently the blonde one is ok, but another non specified type turns stuff purple when cooked and tastes a bit ‘mushroomy ‘ - love Amazon reviews 😂. I’ve bought the science of cooking book so I’ll do my homework then get experimenting. Promise I’ll report back even if it is a disaster- all knowledge is good. 😊👍. One thing I will say if anyone wants gluten free dumplings Morrisons own brand vegetarian suet is made with rice flour and with doves farm flour, baking powder, bit of salt and sprinkle of curry powder then knocked up into a thick paste and added in dollops to very hot stew - a delight can be had - they are quite alarming to look at when they first go in, but you just have to walk away for half an hour and trust! 😂

Yes I agree with 'all knowledge is good' as it's very helpful to find out what works and what doesn't.

Also when I've been looking at the huge amount of gluten free recipes online, it really amazes me the amount of research and experiments to perfect their recipes that the bloggers have done.

It doesn't involve psyllium husk but have you seen the cloud bread recipes? They are gluten free but not egg or dairy free. I've not tried making cloud bread yet but it does look intriguing.

Good luck ☺

Cloud bread? I’ll be Googling that later thank you 😊👍
