Frequently Asked Questions
What is gluten free flour?
Gluten free flour is any type of flour that does not contain any gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and can cause digestive issues for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or a wheat allergy. Our gluten free flour blend is made from a combination of non-gluten grains and starches, such as rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch.
Do I have to add anything to Nicole's Best to use it in a gluten free recipe?
Usually, the answer is yes. Unless you are making a recipe that specifically does not call for xanthan gum, you will need to add xanthan gum to the recipe, since Nicole's Best does not contain any. This allows precision in baking! Please use the Nicole's Best Usage Table below as a guide. You can purchase enough xanthan gum for a 5 pound bag of Nicole's Best here individually, or as a bundle with the bag of flour. Here is a downloadable link of the Nicole's Best Usage Guide for your convenience. It will open in a new window on your device, and you can download it from there and save it.
What can I use gluten free flour for?
Our gluten free flour blend can be used in a variety of baked goods, including bread, cakes, cookies, and more. It can also be used as a thickener for sauces and gravies.
Why do I need this gluten free flour blend?
If you've followed the Gluten Free on a Shoestring blog for some time, you've noticed that Nicole's favorite all purpose gf flour blend has been Better Batter's classic blend. That's still a great blend, but it's not flexible enough to use for every application.
This Nicole's Best multi-purpose gf flour blend is flexible enough to use for everything from gf crepes and pancakes to gf yeast bread, and everything in between. It is the most versatile blend that Nicole has ever used and it works in all of her recipes, no matter the category.
I can't have dairy. Can I still use your flour blend?
No. Our multipurpose flour blend contains milk powder, which is a dairy product.
