Regarding the coconut flour. Generally...Hi Joanne,<br /><br />Regarding the coconut flour. Generally speaking, I am not particularly fond of coconut flavor in savory items. I don't mind it in some sweet items. Thus far, I have not used coconut flour exclusively in any recipe. You'll find that I tend to make a blend and coconut flour is always the less dominant of the flours (for example in this recipe 3 tablespoons compared to 3/4 cup of each of the other 2 flax and almond flour).<br /><br />I'm sure if you wanted to, you could probably sub it out with something else and it would probably work. I use it in this recipe because it is absorbent and I think helps keep these rolls firm so they don't spread. You could try subbing 1/4 cup almond flour in place of the 3 tablespoons of coconut flour and it should be okay. I will say that in this recipe I can not detect the flavor of coconut at all. <br /><br />Also, I haven't forgotten the Wheaten bread...I was actually wondering how it would work with my existing Irish soda bread recipe if I omitted the sweetener and raisins. I need to give it a try soon. As for the sticky buns...I would love to make something like that and am trying to figure out the best route to go for the "sticky" part! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-36283251102177046612014-11-09T00:09:20.093-05:002014-11-09T00:09:20.093-05:00Hi Anonymous,

A lightly moistened fingertip (with water) makes it very easy to smooth out. If you wanted to use an oiled ring, you could but using the scoop keeps them pretty similar in size I find. Either way should work fine. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-685742004376995492014-11-07T12:47:08.498-05:002014-11-07T12:47:08.498-05:00Is this dough really sticky to work with?

Was wondering if an oiled "egg ring" could be used to make the rolls a rather uniform size?<br />Will be doing a lot of baking of various "bread" recipes this weekend (yours & others as well). This one will definitely be one of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-34419489311437237182014-11-07T01:09:27.829-05:002014-11-07T01:09:27.829-05:00I need some of your expertise!!!

I don't mind using coconut milk and coconut oil, but because I really cannot stand the taste of coconut--like in flaked coconut, I generally find the taste of coconut flour to be too strong and it invades the taste of what I am making.<br /><br />I'm told there are different types of coconut flour and that some have less of a coconut flavor than others. Do you have any info or experience with this?<br /><br />Can you give me a substitution I could try? Perhaps I could gradually use a tiny bit of coconut flour and de-sensitize myself, I know coconut is so healthy and I am trying. In the meantime what other flour could I use? What does coconut flour do for bread and will I mess up the texture, etc if I don't use it or use something else? <br /><br />Thanks so much, I appreciate your help. I am a huge fan of your site, wouldn't miss reading it. Haven't been able to try out many of your recipes yet due to chronic health problems, but I look forward to trying many, especially your bread recipes, and I've enthusiastically recommended your site to many people who are trying to give up wheat and live a healthier lifestyle. You are just a gift to me, thank you so much--your recipes make me feel I CAN eat this way long-term, and not really give up much food-wise at all!!!<br /><br />By the way, what about a great sticky bun recipe--I'd prefer it without nuts but I know lots of people love nuts on their sticky buns, and likely they would be healthier with the nuts. As well, I'd still love a non-sweet wheaten bread recipe, an Irish soda bread that isn't sweet and doesn't have raisins or currants in it, I had this bread when I was in Ireland and have dreamed about it ever since. It tasted kind of like a biscuit but was also whole-grain, SO YUMMY!!!<br /><br />Thanks again, sorry for all of the questions and requests--but I have complete faith in you, that you CAN create both of these!!!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Joanne Lowe905lovestostamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360003996742794251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-90695879418147452882014-11-06T18:40:14.465-05:002014-11-06T18:40:14.465-05:00Hope you enjoy them Sami!
