Variations

I used this blend for my very first attempt at GF bread. It is amazing. I followed the sandwich bread recipe on this site but added an additional egg (3 total). Amazing, and delicious. Finally, bread again :-)

Marty ....You said you use this mixture for all but yeast breads. What do you use for yeast bread. Thank you for the help.

I use this flour blend all the time for my gf baking. This is the standard flour mix that is mentioned most commonly on the web. However, I might mention that it works for everything for me except yeast breads. To add more fiber and nutrients, you can also use part brown rice flour. Half brown and half white rice works well., To Chris, the problem with grittiness is not this blend, it is the type of rice flour you are using. For the best results, you must use very finely ground rice flour. Some brands are more finely ground, others are more coursely ground. Try again with a different brand of rice flour. I get mine at the asian market, and it is very fine rice flour. It is also the most economical place to find the rice and tapioca flours. For the potatoe starch and xanthan, you will have to find those at a large supermarket or health food store. With this flour mix, you can feel normal again, baking all your old favorites.

Do you know how can I substitute the rice flour in this recipe? My kids are allergic to rice, wheat and potato. thxs

I rate this recipe 5stars if you use it immediately, because Xanthan Gum needs to be used immediately upon mixing with flour mix. Xanthan Gum does not store well if pre-mixed with flours. Otherwise, mix up the rice, potato starch and tapioca flour and mix in the xanthan gum when you use the mentioned flour mixture. I use this flour mixture daily and non gluten free people say they love my baking and can't tell the difference between this flour and "wheat" flour!

So far, I haven't enjoyed this as much as other reviewers. I've found that the final outcome is either gritty and dry or gummy and mushy. Not a fan. Will look elsewhere for a more versatile flour blend.

Amazing! Excellent! Can substitute this blend with ANY flour recipe and it comes out just wonderfully!

This is just the best flour blend! I love it and will always keep this on hand. I actually feel "normal" again since finding this. I can take all my grandma's old recipes and still make them and better yet, eat them too :)

I have a big jar of this blend ready to use from pancakes to vanilla pound cake just stir before you use and its easy to make from small batches to large.

Excellent! I have already used it in place of wheat flour in my favorite pancake and waffle recipe and they both turned out like what I remember eating before I went gluten-free. Absolutely wonderful. Next up, that muffin recipe I used to make...

I used this flour blend for a gluten-free cake I was hired to make. It turned out well and was popular with the party guests, but I found the cake's texture to be grittier than I would have liked. I can only imagine this is due to the rice flour, so I might add a bit more liquid next time to help the rice become more soft.

This is my go-to gf-flour for cookies and baked goods. The baked goods come out light and fluffy (not dense and hard). There are instances when the recipe requires a crisps outside and this flour also delivers. I have also used it for coating chicken wings before the wings hit the fryer - makes for a light alternative to the heavy goopy wings that for me aren't appealing.

Best go to gluten-free flour ever. I use it for everything that takes flour from english muffins to pie crust and a lots of Land O Lakes recipes. I've never been disappointed in this flour, Make double batches and keep it in the refrigerator drawer for a quick go to which is every day.

Everything I have made with this flour mixture has turned out fantastic. I am using in my bread recipe that I had it was just ok now it is delicious. Substitute it with the garbanzo flour ect. this tastes so much better

With everything I make now this is my go to flour. Works every time I've never been disapointed. This has been the most consistant mixture I've used since going gluten free. Would rate higher if I could . Thank you Thank you Thank you Peleki

flour blends and this is the best one.

A perfect blend! We use this and a slightly altered version for my son who also cannot have things from the nightshade family (potatoes) and use more tapioca instead or combo of cornstarch and tapioca.

I LOVE this mix! It is the best tasting and easiest to make GF mix that I have found.

This is now the only Gluten Free flour recipe I use. It stores very well. This is a fabulous multipurpose mix.

This flour blend is great! I mix a big batch of it up and stick it in the freezer for later use in recipes that aren't specifically gluten free

I recently had my son, Kyle, and some of his friends over for dinner. I just couldn’t resist blogging about dessert first given the reaction from my son when he took his first bite of Oatmeal Brownie Bars.

He looked at me in disbelief and said, “Why haven’t you ever made these before?  I love them!”  I laughed and promised I would make them again soon (which I have done twice already).  I guess I found a new family favorite.
