A low-protein recipe for kids and adults with PKU —by Dianne Sullivan

Batch of “wheat starch dough“

Prepare wheat starch dough. After the first rising of the wheat dough, shape dough into balls approx. 80 gm each.  Roll into a thick rope and form a circle, pinching ends to hold together.  Put on a sprayed cookie sheet, cover and put back into a very warm oven (110-115 degrees) to rise for 30-40 minutes.  Meanwhile, get a deep pan of water boiling and when bagels are ready, add 1 Tbl sugar to water and drop in as many as will fit, leaving plenty of room between them.  Boil for 3 minutes, turn over, and boil for 3 more minutes.  Remove from water and place on a clean towel to drain.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes.  Place on sprayed cookie sheets and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.  Let cool.

Total Phe per batch of wheat starch dough: 125 mg
