All Rice Flour Mix


Connie R-E

Deby Apprentice

I've got a loaf of bread in the oven as I type this. I used the flour mix for all rice mix for the rice flour and used the ratio of potato starch and tapioca flour that I ususlly use. I can't wait to slice it and see how it tastes. If this improves on my old recipe by removing that bit of grit from the rice flour, that will be wonderful!!!

Sigh, the bread did not turn out. I think there was too much fine flour since the other rice flours are powdery as is potato starch and tapicoa flour.

I whipped up another loaf using a 2 to 1 ratio. 2 cups of my regular rice, potato, tapioca blend and on of the all rice blend. It's in the oven now. It rose nicely. The other over flowed the pan and sunk in the center.

I think the all rice would be great for cake and plan to try it next time I bake one.

Will keep all posted.

Also, I'm betting this rice mix and tapioca flour 1 to 1 would make good, chewy bagles. Gonna try that one too.

That loaf turned out better, though I let it rise too long, about 40 minutes when it should have been 15. sigh

I usually have a bit left over and made bagles. not bad, but will post with a new recipe so more will have the chance to see it and maybe try it themselves. There is a bagel post out there too so.....

I've tried a few different combinations as well and they didn't turn out either! :P

So, for the best results use a 1:1:1 ratio=1 part American rice flour, 1 part Asian rice flour, 1 part Glutenous rice flour. And, just use this mix for all the flour....

It's worth trying to find the flours, really!! :D

Connie,

That last loaf did turn out, just rose too long. The texture is good. The reason I'm combining flours is to try to eliminate the gritty texture of the rice flour in my sweet rice bread recipe. This is the one my boys enjoy the most for sandwiches. The grit makes the bread crumble after a two days. I will keep experimenting. Today I plan to make a loaf and this time let it rise for the correct amount of time!

Hi Monica,

I created this blend "to try to eliminate the gritty texture of the rice flour"! I hated that texture, too! :P

The American rice flour is such a large grind it makes foods gritty, but when you combine the other 2 Asian rice flours (fine and very fine) with it, in a 1:1:1 ratio, there is no gritty feel. And, no need for xanthan gum. Give it a try without the potato and other flours--you'll like it! B)

I tried making the Toll House cookies tonight, but they were quite crumbly and I'm sure they'll turn hard. I did use sweet rice flour instead of glutenous asian flour because I thought I read somewhere that those were the same things. Maybe they are not. I couldn't find the glutenous rice flour anywhere, though.

Also, when making gluten-free cookies, do you find you have to smash the cookie balls down? I rolled the dough in balls and placed them on cookie trays before cooking but they don't spread out like normal cookies. This happened with a batch of gluten-free snickerdoodles from the Incredible Edible gluten-free cookbook (and they were hard, dry and crumbly too.) I'm going smash the cookies and use them for a fruit crumble instead, but we wanted some gluten-free cookies!

Yes, I mash them--just a bit! :)

I made a giant Toll House Cookie for a B-day party this week. I used a rolling pin to mash that one! It baked well, didn't crumble, and was yummy! The kids loved it!

Warm cookies will crumble to the touch. If you want your cookies less hard/crunchy, try putting them in a sealed container until they soften up. --or dunk'em! B)

Try printing out (or copying) the words on this bag next time you hunt for glutenous rice flour, maybe it will help with the language barrier: Open Original Shared Link

It is the right stuff...

Try these:

Fast Easy Cookies!

3 c. rice flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

Mix together in small bowl.

2 sticks butter (1 cup)--softened

1 1/2 c. brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla

*may need just a drop or two of milk to get all the flour to "dough-up"

Mix together in large bowl.

Preheat oven to 275 F. and use un-greased cookie sheets.

Combine small bowl of dry ingredients into large bowl of wet ingredients. Mix well. Roll into small balls. Place on cookie sheet. Mash down just a bit. Bake for 8-10 min. on aluminum foil to keep them from burning. *Bake just a couple first to be sure the oven is cooking them right. ;)

Enjoy!!

Ok Connie,

Lets see if I have this right.....use slightly more of the rice flour mix.....temperature down a bit.....and the mix will be stiffer than usual....right?

I am going in search of the needed rice flours today, as I have been trying to find an EASY way to make my regular Christmas cookies and pies. I did get some Quinoa Flour, which I haven't used yet. I have read that it can be used as a straight substitute for regular flour.....has anyone tried this? I am going to try half a batch of something in a couple of minutes, and I will let you know how it comes out.

OK

The Quinoa Flour works perfect, I used it in the exact measurement of regular flour and same baking times etc....and the chocolate chip cookies turned out perfect. They didn't flatten out like they do with regular flour, but that might have been because I used to much baking soda. There is no after taste, they are not dry, they hold together well ( no crumbling) and even my kids couldn't tell the difference. You can use this stuff and not even have to explain that your dish is gluten-free.

I will let you know how this goes with other recipes and I am still going to try the rice flour mix.

When you say "glutenous" rice flour--will this gluten not be bad for us?

:P Don't worry about the term! As long as it is rice gluten you will be fine.

Besides, if you've ever eaten rice, you've eaten some rice gluten already. ;)

Hi Connie and others,

I am new here and have been following this thread on the 3 flours. I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance about 1 1/2 years ago. Been eating gluten-free ever since. I have accidently eaten some gluten a few times, I think, but I am very strict and don't ever do it on purpose. I have been looking for the 3 flours and have had a hard time finding them, but today, BINGO, I found at least 1 of them at an Asian market. It was the 3rd Asian market I had been too. They had a 1 lb bag of Glutinous flour (written On the bag) made by Erawan Marketing Co. The other 1 lb bag said only "Rice Flour" made by the same co. It also is from Erawan Marketing Co so I bought it and am calling it the "Fine flour" (looks fine). So now I need the course flour. You said Bob's Red mill would be good. I looked on the web site for BRM and found 3 rice flours. Can you be more specific about that flour? Maybe find a name? I can't wait to see if this works for me!! I am tired of paying such high prices for mixes.

Enjoying this forum!

Hi Del,

Open Original Shared Link

This is the BRM white rice flour (I wish there was a picture of the bag!)

Open Original Shared Link

This one is just as good as Bob's--and there is a picture!

I use either and both.

The bag you found that was just labled "Rice Four" at the Asian store is the right one. So is the "Glutenous Rice Four". Good shopping! ;)

Mix in equal amounts and bake!

Thanks Connie~ I think I can find that one okay. Are you still having good luck with the 3 flours? What are some other things you have made done with them? Have you made corn bread? Have you ever used corn starch in place of flour?

Sorry for so many questions. I am also sorry for the double posts. I tried to delete the 2nd one but could not see how I could do that.

I make biscuts all the time! (sometimes twice in a day!) :D

Connie's All Rice Biscuts

3 cups All Rice flour blend

5 level Tablespoons Baking powder

1 teasp salt

1/2 stick butter

milk--just enough to make the dough right...

(1/8 teasp chili powder

1/4 teasp mustard powder

1 teasp garlic powder

All for flavor and can be omitted in a pinch)

In your lage mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix well.

Cut in butter until it is well blended with the flour.

Now, add milk --about a 1/4 cup, mix, add 1/4 c.(or less) Is it dry? Add more milk. Very important! You want your dough to be just like new Playdough... It's best to add just a bit too much milk, mix it well, and then "fix" it with more flour--that's my perfered method. (Otherwise it just doesn't taste best...)

Now, you need to have a small square pan, greased. Divide the dough into 16 balls (keep halfing them). Bake at 350F for 20-25 min. They should brown nicely, fluff up, and be done in the middle.

You can also grate up 1/2 lb. of sharp cheddar cheese, and mix it in last, then make sticks instead of balls. Yummy cheese stix!!

Enjoy!

Connie

Ps. I make everything with this mix!! I don't use anything else--don't need to!! :lol:

I tried making the Toll House cookies tonight, but they were quite crumbly and I'm sure they'll turn hard... they don't spread out like normal cookies.

That happened to me with the gluten-free Mock Toll House Cookies recipe from the gluten-free Gourmet Makes Dessert cookbook by Bette Hagman ~and they were hard, dry, flat as a pancake (didn't rise), and crumbly too. I ended up using them crumbled as a Sundae topping. I tinkered with the recipe a little bit (increasing the flour a little bit and adding Baking powder). And now, not only do they look like the normal chocolate chip cookies, but my husband who is NOT a Celiac, loves them....

Mock Toll House Cookies

2 cups Featherlite mix

1/2 cup Sorghum flour

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine

1/2 cup butter flavor Crisco

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 scant teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

1 12oz. package semisweet choc. chips

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have ready, but do not grease, 2 cookie sheets.

In a medium bowl, blend the flour mix, sorghum flour, and xanthan gum. Set aside.

In the bowl of your mixer, cream the margarine, Crisco, and both sugars. Add the baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the dry ingredients and beat well. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.

Spoon the dough onto the cookie sheets, using approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons at a time, spacing the cookies 3 inches apart. Bake 7-9 minutes for soft cookies, 9-11 minutes for firm ones. Cool slightly before removing from the sheets.

Makes 5 1/2 dozen cookies.

Nutrients per cookie: Calories 100, Fat 5g, Cholesterol 5mg, Sodium 70mg, Carbohydrates 12g, Protein 1g.

For 9 cups Featherlite mix:

Rice flour (1 part) - 3 cups

Tapioca flour (1 part) - 3 cups

Cornstarch (1 part) - 3 cups

Potato flour* (1 teaspoon per cup) - 3 tablespoons

(* this is potato flour, not potato starch)

Hope everyone enjoys these as much as I do. And Connie, I'm definitely going to try your flour mixture! Thanks for posting it! :D

I use pretty much that same recipe and get great results. Try all brown sugar, replacing the white sugar for brown in the recipe, if you like a soft cookie that stays soft for days.

BTW, has any one used Twin Vally Mills sorghum flour? I was asked to try some and ordered 25 lbs. The protine is +11 grams and 4.4 of fiber. The texture is smooth, not as gritty as Bob's Red Mill.

Deby, I don't know about that particular sorghum flour, but I wanted to let you know that I found some at an Indian grocery (Indian as in India, not Native American). It was called "Jowar Flour", but most importantly was only about $2 for a two pound bag.

I've also used the rice flour mix everyone is talking about in this thread; it is definitely cheaper and miraculously not gritty. But, things don'tn brown quite as quickly, and you do have to flatten the cookies out! I haven't tried yeast bread yet, but I am planning to do so soon.

Has anyone been successfull making plain white bread with the 3 rice flour combination? After so many failures, I'm discouraged to try again. Did make a good chocolate cake - just like the real thing - using the 3 rice flour combo. Would love to hear from anyone who makes a good plain white bread (grandson doesn't like the taste of the bean, sorgham, etc. flour. Thanks!

I'm discouraged with plain rice bread too; the loaves are just too heavy, crummy and don't taste good. The last one I made went to the dog :( For loaves I get the best results if I make banana or carrot bread. For everyday bread I make my own waffles. I use them for sandwiches and that works well and don't fall apart. :P

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.

    • Nedast
      I made an account just to reply to this topic. My story resembles yours in so many ways that it is truly amazing. I also suddenly became lactose intolerant, went a little under 10 years attributing all my symtoms to different body parts, never thinking it was something systemic until much later. I had the same mental problems - anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. In fact, the only real difference in our story is that I was never formally diagnosed. When I discovered that my myriad symtoms, that had been continuous and worsening for years, all rapidly subsided upon cessation of consuming gluten, I immediately took it upon myself to cut gluten out of my diet completely. I live in America, and had lost my health insurance within the year prior to my discovery, so I could not get tested, and I will never willingly or knowingly consume gluten again, which I would have to do in order to get tested now that I have insurance again. But that is not the point of this reply. I also had extreme TMJ pain that began within months of getting my wisdom teeth out at - you guessed it - 17 years old. I was in and out of doctors for my various symptoms for about 5 years before I gave up, but during that time I had also kept getting reffered to different kinds of doctors that had their own, different solutions to my TMJ issue, an issue which I only recently discovered was related to my other symptoms. I began with physical therapy, and the physical therapist eventually broke down at me after many months, raising her voice at me and saying that there was nothing she could do for me. After that saga, I saw a plastic surgeon at the request of my GP, who he knew personally. This palstic surgeon began using botox injections to stop my spasming jaw muscles, and he managed to get it covered by my insurace in 2011, which was harder to do back then. This helped the pain tremendously, but did not solve the underlying problem, and I had to get repeat injections every three months. After a couple of years, this began to lose effectiveness, and I needed treatments more often than my insurance would cover. The surgeon did a scan on the joint and saw slight damage to the tissues. He then got approved by insurance to do a small surgery on the massseter (jaw) muscle - making an incision, and then splicing tissue into the muscle to stop the spasming. It worked amazingly, but about three months later it had stopped working. I was on the verge of seeing the top oral surgeon in our city, but instead of operating on me, he referred me to a unique group of dentists who focus on the TMJ and its biomechanical relationship to teeth occlusion (i.e. how the teeth fit together). This is what your dentist did, and what he did to you was boderline if not outright malpractice. There is a dental field that specializes in doing this kind of dental work, and it takes many years of extra schooling (and a lot of money invested into education) to be able to modify teeth occusion in this manner. Just based on the way you describe your dentist doing this, I can tell he was not qualified to do this to you. Dentists who are qualified and engage in this practice take many measurments of your head, mouth, teeth, etc., they take laboratory molds of your teeth, and they then make a complete, life-size model of your skull and teeth to help them guide their work on you. They then have a lab construct, and give you what is called a "bite splint." It looks and feels like a retainer, but its function is entirely different. This is essentially a literal splint for the TMJ that situates on the teeth. The splint is progressively modified once or twice per week, over several months, in order to slowly move the joint to its correct position. The muscles spasm less, stress is taken off the joint, as the joint slowly moves back into its proper position. The pain reduces each month, each week, sometimes even each day you go in for a visit. The joint has to be moved in this manner with the splint BEFORE the modification to the teeth begins. They then add to your tooth structure with small bits of composite, to keep the joint in its proper place after it has been sucessfully repositioned. Subtracting from your teeth, by grinding down bits of your natural tooth structure, is done very conservatively, if they have to do it at all. This process worked for me - after six months, my face, jaw, neck all felt normal, and I had no more pain - a feeling I had not had in a long time. It also made my face look better. I had not realized the true extent that the spasming muscles and the joint derangement had effected the shape of my face. The pain began to return after a few months, but nowhere near where it had been before. This immense reduction in pain lasted for a little over two years. The treatment still ultimately failed, but it is not their fault, and it is still the treatment that has given me the most relief to this day. Later on, I even went about three years with very, very good pain reduction, before the joint severely destabilized again. This field of dentistry is the last line treatment for TMJ issues before oral surgery on the TMJ. There aren't as many denists around who practice this anymore, and the practice is currently shrinking due to dentists opting for less espensive, additional educations in things like professional whitening, which have a broader marketability. Getting this treatment is also very expensive if not covered by insurance (in America at least). My first time was covered by insurance, second time was not, though the dentist took pity on me due to the nature of my case and charged like a quarter of usual pricing. Most cases seen by these dentists are complete successes, and the patient never has to come back again. But occasionally they get a case that is not a success, and I was one of those cases. A little over a year ago, I began seeing the second dentist who keeps my TMJ stable in this manner. The first dentist retired, and then died sadly. A shame too, because he was a truly amazing, knowledgable guy who really wanted to help people. The new dentist began to get suspicious when my joint failed to stay stable after I was finished with the bite splint and his modifications, so he did another scan on me. This is ten years after the first scan (remember, I said the surgeon saw "slight" damage to the tissue on the first scan). This new scan revealed that I now no longer have cartilage in the joint, on both sides - complete degeneration of the soft tissues and some damage to the bone. The dentist sat me down and had a talk with me after these results came in, and said that when he sees damage like this in cases like mine, that the damage to the joint is most likely autoimmune, and that, in his experinece, it is usually autoimmune. He has sent patients with cases like mine to Mayo Clinic. He said he will continue to see me as long as the treatment continues to offer me relief, but also said that I will probably have to see a dentist for this type of treatment for the rest of my life. He is not currently recommending surgery due to my young age and the fact that the treatment he provides manages my symptoms pretty well. I still see this dentist today, and probably will see this kind of dental specialist for the rest of my life, since they have helped with this issue the most. I did not inform him that I am 100% sure that I have celiac disease (due to my complete symptom remission upon gluten cessation). I didn't inform him because I thought it would be inappropriate due to not having a formal diagnosis. I was disappointed, because I had believed I had caught it BEFORE it had done permanent damage to my body. I had never suspected that my TMJ issues may be related to my other symptoms, and that the damage would end up complete and permanent. Luckily, I caught it about 6 months after my other joints started hurting, and they stopped hurting right after I went gluten free, and haven't hurt since. I of course did the necessary research after the results of the second scan, and found out that the TMJ is the most commonly involved joint in autoimmune disease of the intestines, and if mutliple joints are effected, it is usually the first one effected. This makes complete sense, since the TMJ is the most closely related joint to the intestines, and literally controls the opening that allows food passage into your intestines. I am here to tell you, that if anyone says there is no potential relationship between TMJ issues and celiac disease, they are absolutely wrong. Just google TMJ and Celiac disease, and read the scientific articles you find. Research on issues regarding the TMJ is relatively sparse, but you will find the association you're looking for validated.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?
