This flour makes baking gluten-free easy-peasy. It works as a one-to-one measurement for wheat flour in gluten-free baking.

For example, if a recipe calls for one cup of wheat or all-purpose flour, simply swap it for one cup of Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour instead. It almost always works with some exceptions as noted below.

The fine texture of this gluten free all purpose baking flour is ideal for a wide range of gluten free recipes, including pie crust, pasta dough, pizza and more.

Do you need to add xanthan gum to Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour? ›

There is no Xanthan Gum in this mixture. For most recipes you'd need to add Xanthan Gum to help bind together your batter/dough for the best texture. To know how much Xanthan Gum to add to your recipe, there's a handy chart below and one listed on the bag.

Is Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour really gluten free? ›

This gluten free product was handled exclusively in our dedicated gluten free facility and tested for gluten free integrity in our quality control laboratory using an ELISA Gluten Assay test.

What is the closest gluten-free flour to all purpose flour? ›

Brown rice flour is about as close to a 1:1 substitute for all-purpose flour as it gets since it provides structure and a “wheat-like” flavor.

How do you use gluten-free flour in recipes? ›

If the original recipe calls for 260 grams of all-purpose flour, substitute with 260 grams of your blend. Beat the batter more. Because gluten-free flours provide less structure than all-purpose, the batter or dough you make with them may require more beating than that which you are accustomed.

What is gluten-free flour best used for? ›

Brown rice flour contains one single ingredient—brown rice. And while all brown rice flours are naturally gluten free, it's essential to check that the one you're using was made in a gluten free facility. In recipes, brown rice flour works best in bread, muffins and cookies.

Is Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour low carb? ›

Why can't I buy directly from Bob's Red Mill? ›

After years of selling its products directly to consumers, Bob's Red Mill is ending its DTC operations, effective Aug. 12. Products will continue to be sold through its wholesale partners.

What is the best gluten free flour for yeast? ›

If you want to buy just one gluten-free flour, we highly recommend the Pillsbury all-purpose gluten-free flour. Not only is it our favorite gluten-free flour, and easy to use in gluten-free recipes, but it's also one of the few gluten-free flours currently on the market that is recommended for baking with yeast.

Can gluten free flour rise with yeast? ›

In fact, baker's yeast reacts well with gluten-free all-purpose flour and other gluten-free flours like rice flour for baking gluten-free bread recipes and pastries. It's not so much the yeast you have to worry about when sticking to a gluten-free diet.

Does gluten free flour rise the same as regular flour? ›

It's not all good news though as gluten-free flours simply cannot fulfil this same function of leavening which is why you might have experienced flatter and denser bakes when using these flours. At this point you will need to turn to other sources to help your gluten-free baked goods to rise.

Is sourdough gluten-free? ›

Sourdough is not gluten free, but we know that many people with IBS, gluten intolerance, or gluten sensitivity can tolerate sourdough bread. This is because the methods used to make sourdough break down some of the gluten in the flour so it is easier to digest. Think of sourdough as low-gluten rather than gluten-free.

How do you adjust gluten-free flour? ›

Gluten-free flours often contain fine starches, so they absorb more liquid than conventional flour. To address this, gluten-free recipes usually call for more liquid and produce looser batters. They may also call for a larger quantity of leavening, like baking powder, to help add volume and lighten the texture.

Can you use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour to thicken gravy? ›

Our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour makes wonderful gravy your family will love.

How do you scoop gluten-free flour? ›

If, after all of this, you still want to use volume measures, at least make sure to measure your gluten free flour blend correctly. Don't scoop the blend with your measuring cup directly. Instead, fluff it up in its container and then use a spoon to transfer the blend into the measuring cup.
