rice fermentation process

Hi @ali-s-alkhayyatgmail-com

The process of fermenting rice before grinding it is not necessary for making gluten-free cakes, but it can be useful for improving certain aspects of the final product, such as flavor and texture. Here is a more detailed explanation:

1. Gluten-free cakes: Generally, to make gluten-free cakes, rice flour is used in combination with other ingredients (starches, xanthan gum, etc.) to mimic the properties of gluten. Fermenting the rice before grinding it is not a common or necessary practice for this type of recipe. However, some people choose to ferment the rice to enhance the nutritional profile or to achieve a softer crumb and a more complex flavor.

2. Gluten-free bread: In the preparation of gluten-free bread, fermenting rice or other grains is more common. This is because fermentation can help improve the texture of the bread, making it more spongy and less dense, which is particularly difficult to achieve without gluten. Fermentation can also help enhance the flavor and digestibility of the bread.

In summary, for gluten-free cakes, fermenting rice is not necessary, but it can be an option if you want to experiment with flavors and textures. For gluten-free bread, fermentation can offer significant benefits and is more commonly used.

We hope this information is helpful.

Best regards.

Consigo fermentar com levain?

Hola @alquimiadogostogmail-com

Si te refieres si puedes usar levain para la preparación de un pan sin gluten la respuesta es sí.

Sí, se puede usar levain para hacer pan sin gluten. El levain, o masa madre, se puede preparar utilizando harinas sin gluten como harina de arroz, harina de almendra, harina de garbanzo, entre otras. La clave es asegurarse de que todos los ingredientes y utensilios utilizados sean libres de gluten para evitar la contaminación cruzada.

El proceso para hacer levain sin gluten es similar al de la masa madre tradicional, pero puede requerir un poco de ajuste en los tiempos de fermentación y en la proporción de los ingredientes debido a las diferentes propiedades de las harinas sin gluten.

Esperamos que está información sea de ayuda.

Saludos.
