Substitute for guar gum?

Can I substitute anything for the guar gum? I have xantham gum - would that work?

Owner's reply

Guar gum will work almost as well as xanthan gum colleen_iv but xanthan gum will work a little better due to its ability to trap air bubbles which will make the ice cream slightly more soft and fluffy.

Perfect results
I'm relatively new to vegan cooking and although I have some baking experience, I had never baked rolls from scratch before. I was bold enough to use a group of non-vegan friends as guinea pigs, but these didn't disappoint...

Thank you, worth the wait!!!
Thank you for this fantastic recipe! I subbed 1.5 c of whole wheat flour, 2 tsp instant yeast, and skipped the raisins. Next time I will increase the cinnamon in the filling, too. I used the exact rise times although maybe with instant yeast I could have shortened them. The rolls didn't seem done at 15 minutes and even at a little over 20 minutes when I took them out, I didn't see much browning...

Hello there. After reading a lot about Flax seeds and Vegan butter i decided to do these yummy looking treats with Flax meal and homemade vegan butter (based on your recipe). i did everything exactly as you said but ended up with an extra firm dough which didn't "rise" at all.. is this ok? should i keep on backing or will it turn out hard as a rock? thank you

Mmmm!
I followed your instructions to a tee and, voila, the outcome was just perfect! This is coming from the unluckiest baker in Canada, where everything always burns or tastes like crap. I served them to my dad this morning, and he said you couldn't get better chelsea buns from a bakery (and he's not one to sugar coat a compliment). These were truly perfect, in every way. Even my boyfriend, the...

The last Friday of September is Vegan Baking Day. A day to spread vegan baking by sharing tasty eats with your community!

Here's a Tip!

Yeast is a very temperamental beast and may not activate fully if subjected to things like excessive sugars, salts and acids. If possible, add these ingredients after the yeast has gotten a chance to activate for best results.
