FAQs About Gluten Free Baking Products
1. What flours are best for gluten-free baking?
The best flours for gluten-free baking include almond flour, coconut flour, rice flour, and sorghum flour. Many bakers also use gluten-free blends that combine several flours like tapioca, potato starch, and chickpea flour to enhance texture and flavour. Each flour has unique properties, so choosing the right combination can help replicate the consistency of traditional flour in gluten-free recipes.
2. Can I substitute gluten-free flour for regular flour in any recipe?
While some gluten-free flour blends can be swapped one-to-one with regular flour, results vary depending on the recipe. In many cases, gluten-free flour lacks the elasticity that gluten provides, which may affect texture. Adding binding agents like xanthan gum or guar gum can help gluten-free flours mimic the texture of wheat flour in baked goods, making it easier to substitute in recipes like cookies, pancakes, or muffins.
3. Are there gluten-free alternatives for self-rising flour?
Yes, you can make gluten-free self-rising flour by combining 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This DIY alternative allows you to keep the same rising effect in recipes that call for self-rising flour while staying entirely gluten-free. Otherwise try Bobs Red Mill gluten free self-raising flour.
4. How can I store gluten-free baked goods to keep them fresh?
To keep gluten-free baked goods fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze items like bread, muffins, or cookies in a freezer-safe bag. Frozen gluten-free baked goods can stay fresh for up to three months. Thaw them at room temperature or reheat briefly in the oven to restore their texture.

After developing a gluten sensitivity a few years ago and discovering the cost of gf food I've been on the hunt for the best replacements and for the price this can't be beat! Makes great bread and pizza dough (after you add Xanthan gum) and fantastic brownies. Great texture, no weird taste and it's a close 1 to 1 ratio. Try it and see, you'll be impressed.- Megan K.
