Note

Storage: Store this blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. For longer shelf life, store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Usage Tip: This blend is designed as a direct 1:1 substitute for wheat flour in many recipes, though you may need to adjust liquid content slightly as gluten-free flours absorb moisture differently.

Variation: For a heavier bread texture, increase the ratio of rice flour. For a lighter, cake-like texture, increase the starches (cornstarch and arrowroot).

Note on Ratios: The original source mentioned various ratios (e.g., 7/8 cup rice flour to 1/3 cup potato starch). This recipe uses a simplified small-batch blend for testing. Scale up proportionally for larger batches.
