Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gluten-free flour for baking? +

A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend (such as Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1) is the most reliable substitute for all-purpose flour. For specific recipes, almond flour works well in cookies and rice flour is ideal for lighter cakes.

Can I use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken? +

Yes, cornstarch is naturally gluten-free and thickens at a 1:2 ratio (half the amount of flour). Mix it with cold liquid before adding to hot sauces to prevent lumps.

How do I make gluten-free bread? +

Replace bread flour with a gluten-free bread flour blend and add xanthan gum (1 teaspoon per cup of flour) to mimic the elasticity that gluten provides. The dough will be stickier than traditional bread dough.
