Class Sessions
Gluten Basics
12:26
Meet your instructor, Culinary Institute of America professor Richard Coppedge Jr., and learn more about the properties of gluten and how it affects the baked goods that you'll be replicating in gluten-free form. Throughout the lessons, Richard will also note where you should be using dedicated equipment to avoid any cross-contamination.
Custom Flour Blends
12:46
The key to successful gluten-free baking is in the custom flour mixes you'll make with Richard's guidance. His "strong" blend will give your baked goods more structure, while the softer blend will create a lighter crumb and tender dough.

Pancakes

An easy place to start your gluten-free adventure is with crowd-pleasing pancakes. Richard shows how to mix up the batter, prepare your griddle and cook your pancakes to perfection.

Cookies
