Request for substitutes for rice flour

[Guest guest]

Also, Nina, there is a pre-packaged gluten-free flour mix that is rice flour

free. It is Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Baking Flour. It contains garbanzo

flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, " Sweet " white sorghum flour, and fava

flour. It is also dairy-free. And this is the only prepackaged gf flour mix

that I know of, other than Miss Roben's, that is corn-free.

Request for substitutes for rice flour

 

Nina, I don't think with gluten-free flour that there is a certain flour to get

because gluten-free flours seem to always need a combination of flours to work

similarly to wheat flour. I have listed following 5 rice-free combinations of

gluten-free flours that work together. You should pick and test these or other

combinations in place of any gluten-free flour mix to see which ones most appeal

to you. You might want to get out of the library or buy the referenced books to

get recipes. (When http://www.overstock.com has the book, it is usually the

cheapest.)

 

Bette Hagman in THE GLUTEN-FREE GOURMET BAKES BREAD uses a combination

gluten-free flour mix she calls Light Bean Flour Mix, which consists of one part

garfava bean flour, 1 part tapioca flour and 1 part cornstarch.

 

Bette Hagman in the same book also uses a Four Flour Bean Mix which consists of

2/3 part garfava bean flour, 1/3 part sorghum flour, 1 part cornstarch, and 1

part tapioca flour.

 

Carol Fenster in GLUTEN-FREE 101 uses a Sorghum Flour Blend with 1-1/2 cups

sorghum flour, 1-1/2 cups potato starch or cornstarch, 1 cp tapioca flour, and

1/2 cup corn flour or almond flour or bean flour or chestnut flour.

 

These combinations of gluten-free flour without rice flour are reported to work

well:

equal parts soya flour and cornstarch.

equal parts soya flour and potato flour.

Note: When buying soya flour, look for debittered soya flour. It has a milder

flavour. I reckon plain soya flour has too strong a flavour.
