I was just wondering if I could have a few opinions? I am trying to do tons of baking this summer. I have tried mixing up a few of my own gluten-free flour mixes, but they won't work with every recipe. I am looking for a flour that will work with everything and will taste great. I have seen King Arthur , Jules and Tom sawyer.. Which is the best?I need a flour that will work with regular recipes, and I can just sub my gluten-free flour for the other stuff.

Help, Please!

My mom makes me buckwheat bread with buckwheat flour. Its actually really good and has a decent consistency for a gluten-free bread. I love its earthy flavor.

Me too, I much prefer it to other gluten-free flours. It's great for crepes, tortilla type roll-ups and gyoza pot stickers, Ravioli and much more.

I prefer Bob's Red Mill. Works really well for a 1:1 sub.

i use authentic foods multi blend gluten-free flour mix. i have made quick breads, muffins, pancakes and cookies. i also use it in recipes that need flour as a thickener. i use it cup for cup. there are also several people on this board that swear by better batter flour.

My favorite so far: Tom Sawyers cut with sorghum -- 1:1 ratio. Makes awesome cakes, muffins and cookies. For breads, I use mixes. :)

I like Tom Sawyers cut with a few different things too. usually we use about 75% TS and the rest whatever is left over from something else, Sorghum, Quinoa, buckwheat -- even tef.

Authentic Foods Classic Blend is THE BEST, you cannot tell the difference between this and "regular" baked goods using this flour! I've made cakes, muffins, cookies with it and I feel they are better than my old recipes. You will need a small amount of xanthum gum with it, I can't remember the proportions but it's in Annaleise Roberts' book, you will be very happy with this flour.

I haven't use this but have eaten muffins and cookies used with Namaste gluten-free flour mix. I was told by the baker they used it cup for cup with their wheat flour recipes. good luck

thanks

I use the recipe in Annalise Robert's book . . . the ingredients are the same and I assume the proportions are the same for the Authentic Foods Classic Blend.

Here are the proportions/recipe

2 Cups Brown Rice Flour (extra fine ground)

2/3 Cup Potato Starch

1/3 Cup Tapioca Flour

Authentic Foods is the only company that I know that makes the fine-ground brown rice flour which makes sense that they would end up making a blend based on Annalise Roberts' book. The brown rice flour is pretty expensive but it makes all the difference in the world to the quality of the end product (ie, it's not gritty). I make up a huge batch and store the majority of it in my overflow fridge and keep a 4 cup container in my pantry.

I use this in almost all of my recipes. That being said, I still make substitutions/variations depending on what I'm making. The cake recipe that I use the most uses a fine ground white rice flour (bought at an Asian grocery) and potato starch. On many recipes, I substitute a small portion of the flour with Pamela's baking mix. I don't know why (the almond meal maybe?) but I feel like it helps with overall moisture and shelf-life of my baked goods. I love Pamela's in general (for pancakes and as an ingredient) but to bake with it on its own yields a tasty but dense/heavyish product . . . OK for cookies but not for cupcakes.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
