This wheat-free baking mix is a mixture of several other flours that, along with the addition of xanthan gum or guar gum, approximates wheat flour.

Ingredients

• 1 part (28.5%) by weight white rice flour
• 1 part (28.5%) by weight brown rice flour
• 1 part (28.5%) by weight tapioca starch
• ½ part (14%) by weight amaranth flour
• 2–4% by weight xanthan gum (optional)

Procedure

1. Combine all ingredients. Mix until very thoroughly blended.
2. Use the blend as a substitute for wheat flour, using the same weight of the blend as of the wheat flour; for example, if a recipe calls for 100 g wheat flour, use 100 g of this blend.

Notes, tips and variations

• Cakes, cookies, and other tender baked goods will need less xanthan gum. Breads and chewier doughs will need more xanthan gum.
