Plantain Herb Cookie (Gluten-Free)
The core technical problem of gluten-free baking is binding. In wheat dough, gluten builds an elastic network that holds everything together; without that network the mixture falls apart easily and the baked product is fragile.
Psyllium seed is one of the natural components that fills that gap. On contact with water it forms a gelling structure that holds the dough's components together. In this product the seed is not only a technical solution but a flavour component, giving the cookie its own faint earthy note and texture.
