Chef’s Secret

When using rice flour in gluten-free baking, combine it with other flours and a binder (like xanthan gum) to prevent a crumbly texture.

Substitutions

Best Match

All-Purpose Flour

1:1 (by weight, adjust liquid if gluten-free)

Good for general baking, but introduces gluten.

Tapioca Flour/Starch

1:1 (for thickening or chewiness)

Adds elasticity and chew, but less structure than rice flour for baking.

Cornstarch

1:1 (for thickening)

Excellent thickener, but not ideal for baking structure.

Sorghum Flour

1:1 (by weight)

Gluten-free, similar mild flavor, good in blends.

Buying Guide

Choose between white and brown rice flour based on desired texture and fiber content. Store in an airtight container.

Flavor Pairings

Mochis rice noodles tempura batter gluten-free cakes dim sum wrappers.
