A mixture of several other flours that, along with the addition of xanthan gum or guar gum, approximates wheat flour.

Ingredients

• 1 part white rice flour
• 1 part brown rice flour
• 1 part tapioca starch
• ½ part amaranth flour

Notes, tips and variations

• Use the above mix to replace a given quantity of wheat flour. For example:
  • for 350 grams wheat flour, "1 part" = 100 grams and "½ part" = 50 grams
  • for 7 ounces wheat flour, "1 part" = 2 ounces and "½ part" = 1 ounce
• Add some vegetable gum (e.g. xanthan gum, guar gum) to make the flour mix stiff enough for bread dough, if you need to form it into a shape. Bette Hagman recommends the following quantities, per cup of wheat-free baking mix:
  • 1 tsp for cakes (about 0.073 parts)
  • 2 tsp for bread and pizza (about 0.146 parts)
  • 1 tsp, or none, for biscuits and cookies
