Ever go to the store looking for a specific gluten free flour and they are sold out? I sure have! In fact, I have been on the hunt for certain flours for hours, scouring stores, only to be left disappointed. Yes, we can order online, but what if you want to bake right now? Knowing how to make your own gluten free flours means freedom to bake when you want to!
- Bake when you want to bake!
- Never worry about supply of flours at the store.
- Grind flours fresh when you want to bake!
- Freshly ground flour = better tasting bakes.
- Often save money by buying rice in large bags & grinding yourself!
Yes! Brown Rice is naturally free from gluten, however, where things get tricky is in the farming & the processing facilities. If the rice is processed and packed in a facility that is not dedicated to gluten free, there is always a risk of contamination. It has also been stated by some that if the rice crop is not grown in a dedicated gluten free zone, then gluten can contaminate the crop as well.
This is why I suggest using organic, gluten free brown rice, but of course the choice is totally yours!
This is a tricky one, I have not tried this and don’t believe that the coffee grinder would be powerful enough to make the flour fine enough for gluten free baking. Superfine brown rice flour will produce lighter, more delicate treats, allowing for more lift & expansion of your doughs!
With that said, if all you have is a coffee grinder, give it a try. Grind a VERY small amount at a time and sift several times. It may just work!
