Gluten-free flours work better when used in combination. Many commercial gluten-free flour blends are available, or you can buy the individual flours and make your own mix. What gluten-free flour blend(s) have you had good luck with? Share Your Opinion

Hodgson Mill

I had to make a diet change after discovering food allergies and discovered Hodgson Mill products. Visit their website , order direct and find it in most stores. Very convenient for the busy lifestyle. Thanks for sharing what others have tried.

Jules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour

I used other flours for ten years and then discovered this one. I've tried them all and this is the best. It is formulated to work exactly like regular flour so I no longer need to mix a few flours or add xantham gum, and it is absolutely the best tasting.

Jules Flour Mix

We always have Jules Gluten Free flour on hand and use is for everything! Our entire household is gluten free so it's really been a lifesaver that we can still make all our favorite recipes with great taste and texture (made with Expandex and xanthan gum.) I've tested many flours and this has been my clear favorite.

Jules' Nearly Normal Flour

I always use Jules' Nearly Normal flour. It's complete, I don't have to add binder, and the results are fabulous! Even my non-celiac friends prefer my baked goods with this flour.

replacement flour

I switched most of my baking to Jules Shepherd's flour blend. You can purchase it through JulesGlutenFree.com. It seems to be the best substitute, yet for replacing wheat. It's amazing!

Domata Living Flour is the greatest

I found this through the company that I use for Gluten Free oats. It is a separate company and in my area I have to have it shipped but it is great and I use it cup for cup like regular wheat flour in my recipes. My husband is quite happy as he can again enjoy all the wonderful foods he had been missing. Another thing is that the Xanthan Gum is already included which is handy. The ingredients: Rice Flour, Corn Starch, Tapioca Dextrin (Flour), Xanthan Gum. Believe me this is a great product and I am ordering the 3rd 25lb. bag. They also have seasoned flour and a pizza flour as well. www.shop.domatalivingflour.com Try it and see. I also feel it is less expensive even with shipping than all the prepaid mixes and small bags of flour.

GF-Flour Mixes

I prefer Pamela's baking mix. I use it for everything just like regular flour.

Favorite mixes

When I'm in a hurry, and don't have my favorite mix made, I usually use a quick mix of 1 cup sorghum flour, 1 cup sweet rice flour, and 1 cup brown rice flour. However, an even better mix is one that I created -- after years of experimentation -- this recipe: http://onlysometimesclever.wordpress.com/2008/07/31/best-gluten-free-flour-mix-ever/

Something very simple

Just white rice flour mixed in equal parts with tapioca flour. Some potato starch can be added in there too. This combo makes a really nice white bread that's just like Italian bread you can buy in the store. Even my husband liked it, and that's really saying something.

Jules Shepard flour mix

Jules Shepard's mix works the best with my old favorite recipes. People say they taste "normal."

Jennifer

I like putting teff, tapioca and sweet white rice flours together, adding a little sorghum flour and guar/xanthan gum depending on the recipe. Works Great!
—Guest Jennifer

Bob's Red Mill

My favorite is Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour Blend. I've used others but I keep returning to this one.
