Most of these items can be found either in the bulk section or the baking section of your local grocery store.

How to Make Gluten Free Flour
- Place all the ingredients together in a gallon size zippered plastic bag or an airtight container.

- It is then ready to use when you are ready to bake some gluten free goodness!
You can replace your all purpose flour with gluten free flour cup for cup in baked goods. I have used it in cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, biscuits, pancakes, scones, etc. It makes gluten free baking so easy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will Gluten Free Flour Last?
When stored in an air tight container, it will last for 3-5 months. It can also be frozen and it will last for up to a year.
Can I substitute or eliminate one of the flours if I am allergic?
If you can’t have one of the flours, just use equal amounts of the other ones to replace it. It may effect the taste a bit but should work fine.

I’m anxious to try your flour mix, several people have asked about a replacement for the coconut flour. I have a great cookbook for GF baking, it is called: Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods by Bette Hagman. It has several flour mixes that can be used as replacement flours and she uses combinations of rice flour, potato flour, tapioca flour and cornstarch as well as several others.
i am looking forward to the coconut flour addition and can’t wait to try it. I have had great results with the above mentioned cookbook as well.

I have only really used this mix in cookies and cakes. I tried rolls once and wasn’t t hrilled with the results.
Alicia says
Hi, thank you, i appreciate this recipe, i am hoping for clarification on what exactly you mean by tapioca flour/starch. I have packages labeled as tapioca flour and one as tapioca starch. Are they interchangeble? Are they the same thing? If not, is one preferable than the other in this recipe? thank you
Leigh Anne says
They are the same thing. Some companies call it starch others flour. It can be used interchangeably.

Hi Anne,
Have you tried using this flour mix to make your 30-minute rolls? Me and my son are both GI and I would like to try your 30-minute rolls recipe and wonder how the outcome is with this flour. Thanks!
Leigh Anne says
I did try it and didn’t care for it with the 30 minute roll recipe.
Sha says
Oh thanks so much Leigh Anne (sorry I typoed Anne only the first time) for the prompt reply!
