Day 3 Of 3 Gluten Free Flours

Last day of gluten free flours and their uses.  There are so many different ones to chose from.
Just remember to try them all and see which one works with your recipe, and your taste.  You can buy in bulk sometimes to save money.  As with most gluten free products, the flours are double or triple in price.  I use and love Bobs Red Mill flours.

Day 2 Of 3 Gluten Free Flours

Here are some gluten free flour options for cooking and baking.  As I have said before, we are in an age, where there are many, many great flours available.  I will list some with their uses.

1. Brown rice flour- This is a supplementary flour, and works great when mixed with buckwheat, sorghum or teff flour.  It is great for cooking and works well for both sweet and savory dishes.

2. Teff flour- Teff flour is an all around great flour for baking.  It has a nutty flavor and many nutrients.

Gluten Free Flours Day 1 Of 3

Having to be gluten free today is easier then ever before, when it comes to flours.  There are so many different gluten
free flours on the market,  almost  say too many.  I could easily say I am a flour junkie.  So I will go over some
flour information I have learned.

 If you are just starting your gluten free lifestyle, you are lucky.  The gluten free flour blends on the market
today come ready for you to use as a cup for cup substitute.  In the past, you would have to mix different ones and
figure out what worked or didn't work.  It is pretty awesome, you can simply just use one blend to substitute.
