I guess this is slightly off topic but I hope useful to someone. 😀
I thought I would post my favourite gluten free flour mixes because they bake so well–no more cardboard! Commercial mixes are so pricey and never seem to work as well as when I mix my own.This one I use for everything. I keep it in the fridge as the brown rice can go rancid.
3 cups brown rice flour
1 cup potato starch (if off nightshade use arrowroot)
1/2 cup tapicoca starch
4 tsp guar gum
If I am using it for muffins or heavier things I add some rice bran for fibre.
Just mix and store for use in all your favourite recipes.This one I use for breads or savory muffins:
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup tapioca or arrowroot
1 TBSP guar gumIf you are on grain free:
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup tapioca or arrowroot
2 tsp guar gumIf you can tolerate gluten free oats you can use about 1/3 cup of that to 2/3 cup of these mixes as it bakes nicely but not great for everyone.
I have a good recipe for grainfree bread that I will PM if you are interested.
Also while I am food blogging, take a look at alkalinesisters website. I have posted it before but it is just beautiful and full of truly inspiring ideas and recipes.
So excited about all the summer veggies!
cheers

Very nice! I would LOVE the bread receipe PM’d to me – a lover of bread and a “hurter” at not being able to have it!
Fresh, homebaked bread for homemade lentil soups etc. simply cannot be beat!
Please send over as time allows!
Best (in baking),

Do you have a recipe for a flour mixthat does not have chickpea flour as I can’t eat any legumes either.Corn is also a No No
LynneJuly 13, 2012 at 3:47 am #364085katerParticipantcheck out the first one there Lynne–I posted 3. That one with brown rice, potato or arrowroot and tapioca and guar is my staple mix. The chickpea ones I just use for breads, pizza and things
cheers

You may kick me in the butt.I forgot to mention that nightshades are a big NO_NO,especially spuds.Her is my forbidded list.
Anything “cow”
Nightshades
Citrus
Asperigus
Anything from sugar cane
Grapes
Legumes
Anything with vit.d so no fish or sea food,eggs as D1,25 is 3 times too high
There are a couple more that I won’t think of until I open the fridge or pantry.GOD!!!this heat is killing my brain,with humidity today we should be 40something in the shade.July 15, 2012 at 1:58 am #364082katerParticipantDawn and Tom sent you a PM with the recipe. Lynne, the first recipe should be okay for you. Use the brown rice, then the arrowroot, then tapioca–or you could just try 1 and a half cups of either arrowroot or tapioca. You will have to satisfy yourself about which binder to use. There is only 4 tsp of it in a whole recipe so not sure how particular you need to be –very personal. Guar gum is from legume family–bean seed. You could use xanthan gum also but that is from corn which is out for lots of people. Agar is something that might work–that is from algae. You can make the mix with no binder added but it tends to be more crumbly as you know. Tapioca is from the spurge family, and arrowroot is from the ginger family so hope this is okay for you. This is my favourite GF mix as it works for everything–you can even make muffins without eggs
hope it works for you
send me a message anytime! I am doing well but a slow row to hoe as you know
cheers

I’ll try the first recipe (arrowroot instead of potato flour) and hope it will work for me once my present flare is over.
I have all the ingredients at home but must have combined them wrong because the mix I ended up with was inferior to store bought one with Xanthan gum (I’m allergic to corn, so it was a disappointment when a “No corn” mix actually contained it).
Warm wishes, KrysJuly 15, 2012 at 6:17 pm #364083DawnParticipantKate, Received (and responded) to your PM! Gratefully and then some!
