What To Look for When Using Gluten-Free Flour

When choosing between different gluten-free flour brands and blends, consider what you want to use the flour for. This matters because not all flours are created equal. You may use that all-purpose flour to make fluffy muffins but quickly find out that it ruins your pizza crust. Here are some things to look for when choosing gluten-free flour.

Binding Agents

While traditional flour relies on gluten to help hold baked products together, gluten-free flour must rely on binding agents. Some of the most popular types of binding agents are guar gum, xanthan gum, ground flax seeds and psyllium husk powder. If the flour doesn’t already have a binding agent, you will need to add one to your recipe.

Protein

If you want to make a light and airy cake or a soft, sweet bread, avoid gluten-free flour blends with a lot of added protein in them. Similar to gluten, the added proteins enhance the product’s structure, making it stronger, denser, and chewier. Examples of proteins to look for include sorghum flour, chickpea flour, teff flour, amaranth flour, glutinous rice flour, and whey protein isolate.

Bean Flours

Bean flours are often used in gluten-free flour blends because they offer a lot of protein and are very smooth, which helps prevent grittiness in the final product. However, their flavor can be quite strong, and you might notice a bitter aftertaste with them. Because of its flavor, bean flour is best used in savory products with other strong flavors that can better work with the beany taste.

While there are no right or wrong flours in gluten-free baking, some flours will better suit your needs than others. Plus, choosing the best gluten-free flour brand for your needs will ensure you always end up with the best product possible.
