Can you use gluten free flour instead of self raising flour?
Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.
Who was the first person to discover gluten?
In the 7th century, the Buddhist monks discovered gluten, while kneading wheat flour with water to make a dough. Gluten is found naturally in grains and binds together two separate proteins found within the grain. Gluten consists of two proteins, gliadin and glutenin, and is commonly found in wheat, barley and rye. As it is insoluble in water, it can be obtained by washing away the associated starch and used as a leavening agent. An important source of protein, gluten is found in foods in their natural state and also as an additive in low protein foods. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/what-is-gluten.html
Can you substitute wheat gluten and soy flour for white flour?
I find most of the time an all purpose gluten free flour will work in most recipes. Different flours (rice, garbanzo, amaranth, etc.) have different tastes and different textures, so what you want to use depends on the recipe you are following. There is much information on comparing them to be found online. Good luck!
