Hi Peter:

when you say to mix gluten free flours on hand, are you including starches such as tapioca starch, corn starch, or potato starch? I live in the US and every recipe I've ever seen here is basically junk food consisting of mostly starches and xanthan gum. Ditto for flour mixes purchased in the stores. Your recipe seems to contain neither. I would really like to bake nutritious truly wholegrain bread. Can I really make this bread without starches or gums? I can get pretty much any flour here, including amaranth, fine brown rice flour, teff, millet, oat (gluten free), chestnut, you name it.

Thanks. Your recipes sound so wonderful and nutritious!

I would avoid the refined starches - they are not part of a healthy diet.
Experiment with mixtures of real flours, they make good wholemeal bread for me without starches or gums.
Chestnut and teff are particularly useful for baking gluten-free.
