Okay, after the success of my last batch of sugar cookies, I thought I might try my hand at my own flour blend, at least one for my cookies. So here it is:
All purpose flour blend
3 cups sweet rice flour
3 cups gluten free oat flour or brown rice flour
2 cups potato starch
1 cup tapioca starch
1 1/2 tablespoons xanthan gum
Whisk together in a large bowl and store in an airtight container. Use in place of all purpose flour in cookie recipes.
UPDATE 1/8/11: I really love the blend of the sweet rice with the oat, but if you don't like it or don't have these flours on hand, you can sub and experiment. The important part is keeping these ratios. So you could use all brown rice in place of the sweet rice and oat, or use a 50:50 mix of sorghum and millet, or a white rice/brown rice mix, etc. As long as you keep the flour/starch/xanthan gum ratios the same, the possibilities are endless. :)
Where do you get your gluten free oat flour? It sounds delicious! (I'm soy free too so I am so glad I found your site - that pita bread recipe looks amazing!)
ReplyDeleteI grind my own in my Nutrimill using Bob's Red Mill GF Steel Cut Oats. Bob's Red Mill also makes GF Oat Flour, too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a link from the pita bread to this flour blend. Do you use it for cookies and for pita bread? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteI originally used it for a cookie blend, but soon found it worked as a general all purpose gf blend, so yes, I use it in both my pita bread and my cookies, and a lot more recipes, too.
