    Baking with konjac glucomannan flour. I am trying to figure out how to make a low carb/gluten free Tortilla, that does not have Wheat, Gluten, soy or Corn mixed into it, which is most store bought Tortillas. I know I need something to bind Non Gluten flours together, but what? My favorite flours to use are Almond, and Coconut, and I have been looking at Chia Seed Flour for a possible mix for making Tortillas that I could used for Enchiladas. But my problem is binding the flours together. . .Would Konjac Glucomannon Flour work for this process? Could part of flours be Konjac? Thank you for the help.

    Sincerely,
