What is a gluten-free substitute for breadcrumbs?!
I have a recipe for meatballs, but it uses breadcrumbs!. This isn't an option for us because we are gluten-intolerant!. Does anybody know what I can substitute for breadcrumbs that is gluten-free!? (We don't have gluten-free bread!.) Would almond meal work!? Gluten free flour!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I get a packaged GF bread crumb, I can't remember the name brand, but they are in my grocer's GF section!. Brown Rice GF Bread Crumbs, I will add seasonings to them!. We've used them for eggplant parm!. and I've added oregano, garlic powder and pepper!. So, you can add whatever spices and herbs you like that will work with whatever you're making!.

In the article linked below I found this:
'Recipes calling for bread crumbs may be translated into gluten-free by using leftover gluten-free breads and crackers, and even baked items, processed into crumbs!. Cooked rice or potatoes may also be substituted in many recipes calling for bread crumbs!.'
I hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Gluten-free flour should work, but try soaking it in a little milk!. Doing that (the milk-soaking) with bread is a classic Italian technique and it makes the meatballs more moist than the breadcrumbs anyway!. Let us know how it turns out!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
