6 Gluten-Free Flour Alternatives and Exactly How to Use Them

Some brands make a gluten-free-flour blend that combines a variety of gluten-free flour alternatives. Common ingredients include rice flour and sorghum flour, along with a few starches like tapioca and potato. This flour, for me, bears the closest resemblance to conventional flour. I use this a lot when baking, and it bakes up like conventional flour would and doesn't taste any differently. Depending on the gluten-free mix you buy, you may or may not need to add a binder. I like to get mixes that have xanthan gum or something similar included so it's an easy one-to-one swap.
