I wanted to make something that is healthy, delicious and gluten free.

But do you know what is gluten?

Gluten is the protein component found in wheat, rye and barley. If our body can’t digest or break down the gluten protein we have a gluten allergy.

It can range from a mild sensitivity to full-blown celiac disease.

If you want complete control (even if you are not controlling freak), cooking from scratch is the easiest way to avoid gluten.

So, let’s start baking from scratch.
