My bread maker has a recipe for a wholemeal loaf with 50% wholemeal flour and 50% high grade white flour. It always turns out well and tastes great.
But there is also a recipe for 100% wholemeal flour that I would like to make but it requires 1tbsp of gluten flour. Had a look in local supermarket and can't find any labelled as such. So then I got to wondering if a tbsp of white flour is the same thing.
Anyone got the solution on this!

I think it is the same thing.

The 'macro' brand at Countdown sell 'gluten' flour.

It's not the same thing.Gluten flour is made of gluten which has been extracted from wheat.Ironically,Healtheries is the most common brand in NZ.It is usually stacked with the other flours.

That's amusing. So it has way more gluten content!

Thanks - I'll look again in the local Countdown. I did have a good look at the flours but couldn't see any labelled "Gluten Flour". I might try another Countdown in the area. But at least I know what brand to look for this time.

No. Gluten flour is literally just gluten and nothing else.

Healtheries have a range of specialty products which are packaged in turquoisie blue/green packaging. They are usually all together on the supermarket shelves in the baking aisle. Read each label carefully because they all look alike. The also have the same coloured and printed, but bigger, packaging, in the b/f cereal aisle with flaked rice b/f cereals and maybe (but don't quote me on this) muesli. This will give you an idea of what you should be looking for in the baking aisle.

I bought some at Pak & Save, but that was a few years ago, It's probably eiither up high or down low where they put stuff that isn't in high demand.

In ourP&S its with thegluten free and bran section. I often use extra gluten in my bread when I want a wholemeal only loaf, makes it lighter.

It's in the baking section of many supermarkets.
