Make your own Whole Grain Gluten Free Flour Blend!

You can make your own Gluten Free flour blend using your choice of Whole Grain Flours.  You have probably noticed that most "All Purpose" GF Flour Blends you find on the market are made primarily of white rice and various starches, with little to no nutritional value to speak of....not much on flavor, either!    Why not mix up your own blend?  It only take a few minutes and a flour sifter!  Here is a recipe for a nice mild flavored All Purpose GF Blend.


1     cup Whole Grain Sorghum Flour
1/2  cup Brown Rice Flour
1/2  cup Millet Flour
2/3  cup Tapioca Flour
1/3  cup Potato Starch
1/4  cup almond meal

Sift all flours and combine well.  Use cup for cup as substitute for regular gluten containing AP Flour.   Add 1/2 tsp Guar Gum or Xanthan Gum per cup of GF Flour Blend used in recipe.  If making yeast bread, use 1 tsp per cup of GF Flour Blend.

Store GF Flour Blend in an airtight container in the freezer.
