I read a short time ago a method of making your own high gluetin flour I think out of oat meal (?) .I cant find it again. The person that provided it wears a dark hat and has a black mustash. Would some one either send in the method or give me the thread where it is located ?
You can make oat flour from oatmeal, but not high gluten flour. Wheat has the highest percentage of gluten which is why it's used to make gluten flour. It's provides an elastic structure that helps baked goods rise No other grain does it like wheat.
Thank you ever so much Karen. However the entry I am refering to suggested ( maybe wheat ) forming a ball running it under water until it ran clear streching it to see if there are any visable threads, drying and then grinding into a flour. As I said this person has a black hat and a black mustach. I jusr cant find the proper thread.
I made it when I was in my vegetarian teens and while it was interesting to do, it was a lot more trouble than it was worth. I don't know where you live, but it's a lot easier just to buy gluten flour if you want to use it in baking or prepared gluten if you want to eat it.
