I have had great success with corn flour, millet flour and chick pea flour. I emphisize the word flour because all grains come in many forms for baking you want a flour grind. Some people don't like the taste of chick pea flour but in savory foods and even pancakes it works for me. For baking cookies and bars, usually mine are really healthy with raisens, nuts seeds and coconut, I use a mix of corn and millet just remember you need to add more because they are light. For crackers I use a mix of all with lots of seeds. Rice flour is great but because I can't eat it I have not experienced it much.

Rice flour is not at all similar to any kind of wheat-based flour. Rice flour contains no gluten, which makes it unsuitable for most general baking. It is the gluten in wheat flour that is used to trap bubbles of C02 during baking, resulting in light baked goods. No gluten in rice flour means that the C02 escapes, resulting in unrisen and hard baked goods. This is the primary reason why rice flour is a terrible substitute for wheat flours.

Also, rice flour has a different density and different absorbency, when compared to wheat flours. This means that the same weights of wheat and rice flour, when compared, will give different volumes of flour. They also require different amounts of liquids when used in baking.

Rice flour is best only used in recipes that specify rice flour (for the above reasons). These recipes can usually be found in "gluten free" cookbooks.

Do you use the same amount of rice flour vs plain flour for gluten free baking?

Since rice flour tends to be 'grainy', most people mix it with other flours, such as potato starch flour and tapioca flour. They also add Xanthan gum, which is used as a binder in the flour mixture. To get to ratios of flour mixtures, you can probably 'Google' something like "Celiac Disease", or "Gluten-free Flour" to get the correct amounts and instructions. In the meantime, I will try to find more info for you.


What if you have celiac disease?

If you have celiac disease, it means you have an intolerance to the protein called gluten which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oat products (if processed in the same factory or grown in the same field as wheat, barley, or rye). Celiac disease is caused by the gluten damaging the small intestine which causes malabsorbtion of nutrients from food. You will need to go on a strict gluten free diet the rest of your life which means avoiding bread, pasta and all wheat, barley, or rye products or derivatives. the good news is that there are many gluten free foods like rice and rice based flour that you can eat instead of wheat flour. There is much more information about celiac disease on the following website: http://www.gluten-free-for-life.com
