Gluten-free Flour Available In Bigger Sizes?

[Veronica2]

Hi,

I've been slowly trying out gluten-free baking for the first time and I definitely want to bake for the holidays. So far I've been using Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten free flour from the local grocery store.

The only problem is it comes in weeny 1-lb bags.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for, say, 5-lb bags of gluten-free flour?

Thanks!

check w/ your local health food store to see if you can buy in bulk. i do a lot of baking (even just feeding 2 and bringing treats to the office), so i buy my flour in 25 lb bags. i store it in those 5 gallon buckets you can get at like costco or walmart or an emergency supply store. so far, i have rice flour and tapioca flour. been looking around to find cornstarch in bulk though. i also have a big tupperware (5 lb or so) of potato flour, but i don't use that as much.

Bob's sells the cornstarch in 25# bags. I have the cornstarch, tapioca, sorghum, brown rice and white rice in the 25# bags. Since I live near the mill, I can pick it up so no shipping, it ends up to average about 80cents per pound. If I have it shipped, it bumps up to about 1.10 per pound-still a pretty good price.

Open Original Shared Link has several sizes available. It is a one to one ratio. It is loved by many. I think it is way better than Bob's. You can also get it on Amazon.......Plus they have a ton of recipes on the site that are terrific.

I use the betterbatter flour mentioned above by mamaw. I buy 45 pounds at a time and use it in recipes calling for normal flour. They also have a ton of REALLY good recipes on their website. I make their challah in the bread machine.
