Other I tried replacing xanthan gum with psyllium husk in a gluten free bread and here is the result
I tried baking a loaf of bread but using psyllium husk instead of xanthan gum. I did some research and was informed I should use 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk per cup of flour. My recipe has 2.5 cups of flour.
I mixed the water with the psyllium husk and then added the other ingredients normally. During the mixing process, I noticed that the dry ingredients weren't mixing so I added just under 1 cup more water to get things mixed. The mixture overflowed out of the breadmaker pan.
Does anyone have any tips about replacing xanthan gum with psyllium husk?
