For those corn free people look up recipies with mostly Quinoa flour in them. I make a quinoa bread with Spelt flour or Sroghum flour and it tastes like cornbread. My neighbors didn’t believe that it wasn’t cornbread!!! you can buy quinoa and grind it or google quinoa flour if your local store doesn’t have it. Quinoa and Sorghum are GF but Spelt is not.

I was wondering why the GF All Purpose Flour Mix requires brown rice flour? Is there a difference between the consistency of white rice and brown rice flour?

I have 2 small boys who require gfdfsf diets. The flour mix info is intriguing and I look foreword to trying it out! Breads, etc are their major comfort foods. Thanks!

Lovely and informative read!! I am gluten intolerant and highly allergic to Sorghum Flour – is there any other type of flour I can add more of or substitute the Sorghum with? I’m still researching because this is still all new to me. Any tips or thoughts? Thank you very much!

Hi everyone. I am new to this great site! Great to have more GF recipes to test. I have been used to flour mix recipes that includes brown rice, tapioca flour and potato starch. Not to take any glory/credit from this site, but have you gals also tried Annalise Roberts site as well for some of her recipes that don’t use corn? Not guaranteeing corn/sorghum-free bread recipes but she’s got other great recipes that don’t use corn… http://www.foodphilosopher.com/

@ Susan thank you for this info. Do you have a site that I can look this up? I have scoped the internet and can not seem to find that they are related?

I believe that sorghum is related to corn so I would avoid that also. I’m not sure what the best substitute is but I just posted an egg, corn and yeast free recipe so you may want to try that. Good luck!

@Mary Frances I am allergic to corn also. I will substitute Arrowroot for the cornstarch but what would you suggest for the corn flour? Is there anything comparable to corn flour out there? I am really craving corn bread.

@Barb, I too have gluten soy and corn intolerance. Substitute arrowroot for constarch, have not found what the substitute for actual Masa or corn flour. Used Sorghum has a different taste but works replace the cornstarch with arrowroot works fine.

What can I replace cornstarch and corn flour/masa harina with? My daughter found out she should not eat gluten, soy or corn. Im finding all of the bread recipes using cornstarch/masa harina flour mixes. I did find one using a mix with sorghum flour but still had corn in it.

I’ve been gluten free for years, but never have done much with breads. I recently got a bread machine & have tried a few recipes with only fair results so far. Scones were gummy. I also avoid corn, milk and eggs and I’m wary of soy, so still end up making substitutions. I haven’t yet tried (pricey!) almond flour as a substitute for masa harina. What else would work there?

Your comment about the ratio of flour to starch is helpful, but I’m not sure what’s flour and what’s starch, as the names aren’t always consistent. Any help on that? What about Montina and Mesquite flours?

Love your blog. I’m getting email updates.
