Gluten Free Flour Mix

Gluten is named gluten because it “glues” flour together while baking. In gluten-free baking, xanthan gum does gluten’s job!

Ingredients

White Rice Flour
Brown Rice Flour
Arrowroot Powder
Sorghum Flour
Amaranth Flour
Xanthan Gum

Step 1

Mix together equal parts of white rice flour, brown rice flour, arrowroot powder, sorghum flour, and amaranth flour. Make sure to whisk well!

Step 2

You may incorporate your xanthan gum into your gluten-free flour mix (in which case, use 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour), but we recommend against it because different kinds of recipes call for different amounts of xanthan gum. Below is a table from Bob’s Red Mill as to how much xanthan gum to use. We have found it perfect for our baking!

Baked Good	Quantity of Xanthan Gum to Use
Cookies	1/4 tsp per cup of flour
Cakes	1/2 tsp per cup of flour
Muffins and Quick Breads	3/4 tsp per cup of flour
Breads	1 – 1 1/2 tsp per cup of flour
Pizza Crust	2 tsp per cup of flour

We LOVE This Gluten-Free Flour Mix!

We do a LOT of gluten-free baking. Our mix is nut-free and nightshade-free, which caters to some of our allergies. Plus, we order our flours in bulk (5lb bags of each!) and mix them together in advance. This saves money on pre-made mixes and makes baking that much easier in the moment.
