(the orginal recipe called for 1/3 cup garfava bean flour, but my DD left this out and used 2/3 cup of corn starch instead.)

Some of the bread she made was thicker and very similart to a flat pita bread. Some she made very thin and it was similar to crackers. We really enjoyed this recipe

My DD is attending a Mesianic congregation and she took this for their Passover Sedar tonight. There were 2 other Celiac's there and she shared with them. (Even the non-Celiacs enjoyed the bread. They said it was more flavorful than the boxed bread.)

Any ideas if Quinoa would work with this one? Corn and corn by-products are off limits for many Ashkenazim...

I'm willin' to try it out if you think it will work...

That would be an experiment on your part. I use Arrowroot in place of cornstarch in many recipes and it turns out fine. If you can find a place on the net, it is much cheaper than at the healthfood stores. I get mine from bulkfoods.com, but I do not know if you can get it over where you live. I think tha bob's red mill also sells it.

Let me know the results. I want to give this a try.
