About us. Cup4Cup, a complete blend of multi-purpose, gluten-free flour, was developed by Lena Kwak at Chef Thomas Keller's acclaimed restaurant, The French Laundry.

Cup4Cup is neutral in flavor and more bland tasting than regular flour. You may need to increase the amount of salt slightly to correct this. When measuring ingredients with a scale, Cup4Cup should also be substituted for traditional flour gram-for-gram.

Xanthan Gum Can Cause Digestive Issues

In human studies, large doses of xanthan gum were found to have the following effects ( 9 ): Increased frequency of bowel movements. Increased stool output.

Xanthan gum, a fine powder that comes from the coating of xanthom*onas campestris bacteria, is a gluten-free baking ingredient that mimics the effects of gluten by binding ingredients together and providing moisture and structure. Xanthan Gum adds thickness and viscosity to gluten-free breads and other baked goods.

Wheat-based refined flours usually can be used past the expiration date (up to a year at your house), especially if it's been stored in a cool, dry place. 2 You'll want to be careful about self-rising flour, though, as the baking powder that's mixed into the flour can lose its effectiveness over time.

Another reason is that gluten-free flours, such as almond flour or coconut flour, can behave differently than wheat flour in baking. They may absorb more liquid, for example, which can result in dry or crumbly cookies.

For those of you working with a stand mixer, start by placing the water into the mixing bowl, and then dump your flour on top. This will help to ensure that flour doesn't stick to the bottom and clump—flour clumps make for lumpy bread.

This is an important tip to know as a gluten-free baker. When trying a new recipe, and the resulting texture is a bit dry or gritty, consider letting the dough rest and compare the results. If it's still dry, you'll want to try changing up your flour mixture (or adding more fat/liquid).

If you're using a nut-based flour like almond flour, then it's likely that the only ingredient will be almonds. However, if you choose to use a pre-made gluten free flour blend, the mix may already contain xanthan gum, and you likely won't need to add more.

In addition to to the Sorghum and Tapioca Flours, the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour has Garbanzo Bean Flour, Potato Flour, and Fava Bean Flour for protein and body. There is no Xanthan Gum in this mixture. For most recipes you'd need to add Xanthan Gum to help bind together your batter/dough for the best texture.

Ingredients: Cornstarch, White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, rBST-Free Milk Powder, Tapioca Flour, Potato Starch, Xanthan Gum.

As noted above, start with 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum for every 1 cup of flour and adjust from there. Adding more xanthan gum will increase structure; adding less will reduce structure. Gluten-Free Bread Flour can be swapped 1:1 by weight or volume for the bread flour or all-purpose flour in your recipe.
