My Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour

It took me months of trial and error to develop this flour blend. Since then, I've tested a bunch of store-bought flour mixes, and mine still outperforms them in terms of flavor and texture. Now I'm going to get technical for a minute. When making your own, in my experience, the classic ratio that mimics regular unbleached all-purpose flour is 60 percent grain flour (white rice, brown rice) and 40 percent starch (tapioca flour, potato starch). If you decide to use a gum, which I recommend, since it helps with overall texture, add about 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan or guar gum per 1 cup flour blend. My flour blend is an old-school mix of white starches, but if you want to add more fiber, replace the 6 cups of white rice flour with half white rice flour and half brown rice flour.
