Has anyone made anything using amaranth or amaranth flour? I got some to experiment with since it is supposed to be gluten free...

I grow amaranth every year and use it in my breads, rolls and cookies to enhance the nutritional value. I still use white and whole wheat flours with the amaranth. I don't know if the bread would rise properly if I used straight amaranth. If you find out different, I'd like to know. A friend of mine uses amaranth flour to thicken gravies.

My dd uses it. I'll ask her what kind of results she's had.

My reading says that it has no gluten in it so it won't rise if used 100%. But it works for muffins, pancakes etc...
