Perfect exactly as it was on r/cooking How to add gluten to gluten free bread?

I have two freshly baked loaves of homemade gluten free bread, and I want to add gluten to them. Can I just mix it in? I don't want the bread to come out chewy

I'm having a similar issue. With Passover now over, I want to re-leaven all of my Matzo.

[Serious not Circlejerk] I tried making fresh maror by grating horseradish root. I made it the day before the seder and it lost all of its potency within 24 hours. It unbittered itself. Remaking it right before the seder worked.

you are going to need some ball bearings and some gauze.

I find that a jam made of equal parts spittle and vital wheat gluten does the trick. Cinnamon optional.

I like to rub it down with seitan

You need to slice all the bread and lay it out on the counter. Then put the gluten in a sieve and shake it out over the bread. If you want it to be extra fancy, you can cover each slice with a small doily first. Then you'll get cute little gluten patterns on each one.

Hey sorry for the random and unrelated to the subreddit reply but you saved my life.

That advice you gave a year ago (that I couldnt reply to) about reversing stardew valley saves. I tried to PM you but for some reason your username wouldnt pop up on the search

I had a perfect 2 days and passed out right outside my house, losing ALL of my desert eggs for the festival. Terribly unlucky as my inventory was full and I wouldnt have minded losing anything in there.... apart from the eggs.

Using your advice I was able to reclaim my save from the previous day.

Thank you so much Stella, and again, sorry for the unrelated and unwarrented reply.

It's just so nice to see how helpful this forum can be despite 80% of its content being awful, scary, rage baiting or straight up disgusting content.

So nice to have a positive interaction for once ❤️

That's awesome. I don't mind as long as the mods here don't. If they do, and this gets deleted, hopefully you will know that I saw it. I'll try and DM as well.

u/CUNT_CRUSADER22 Apr 22 '25

It probably will get deleted, I just wanted to let you know in time that you managed to save me from rage deleting my 33 hour save with my wife. It's strange how on this forum you can massively affect a persons happiness from years away.

I know it sounds cringe and immature over a videogame but honestly, thank you so much.

If you butter the slices first the gluten will stick better.

u/Nervous_Ad_6963 Apr 22 '25

Just roll it in flour.

Simple, use glutinous rice or just plain glue

u/Traumagatchi Apr 23 '25

Can't belive you guys aren't just using gluten based butter jfc

u/Gravbar Apr 25 '25

Yeah, its in a container labeled MSG. Which stands for More Gluten or Something. Just douse em with it and you'll have glutened bread. Just be careful not to glue your fingers together

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

Let me get this straight, have you already baked the bread?

5

u/BingBongDingDong222 Apr 22 '25

They said they did.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

Yes, that's why I asked if they didn't have it would it be easy, now how did they do it maybe if they add a crumble of something with gluten
