Amy Fothergill, who runs the website The Family Chef, recommends this gluten-free flour blend for almost every gluten-free recipe.

"I keep this mixed up in my pantry and just grab it when I'm baking," she says.

The gluten-free flour blend works especially well for Amy's basic gluten-free, dairy-free bread recipe. Amy teaches cooking classes, writes a cooking blog and gluten-free column, and is the author of a soon-to-be-published gluten-free cookbook.
