As promised, I introduced arrowroot flour into my nutrition program after successfully completing the Whole 30 program. I have not had any reactions and it's been 3 days so arrowroot flout is something I can add to my pantry.
Also as promise, I experimented with the arrowroot flour recipes for Garlic Crackers and Garlic Cauliflower Naan Bread found in The Essential AIP Cookbook by Louise and Jeremy Hendon.
I found the dough for the crackers was difficult to work with but the taste and texture of the baked crackers was delightful. I'll just have to experiment some more and get back to you on the handling of the dough. Because arrowroot flour is more of a starch than a flour, it was difficult to get the correct water to flour ratio, and rolling it out was challenging as well. As I said I'll just have to play. Have you made this recipe? Let us know what worked for you.
The naan bread dough was easy to work with and roll out. The ends crisped before the center cooked so next time I'll cover the edges with foil until about 5 minutes before removing it from the oven. The texture is very stretchy as reported and it worked very well for a chicken avocado wrap. Taste is good too. Have you made this recipe? Let us know what worked for you.
