The Bakermans Gluten-Free Plain Flour Mix
This is a light, general-purpose flour blend designed for everyday baking. It works well for cakes, biscuits, sauces and pastries, giving a soft texture without heaviness. Unlike the bread flour, it contains no psyllium and relies on a higher proportion of starch for a lighter result.
Ingredients
- 300 g finely milled white rice flour basmati works well
- 125 g tapioca starch
- 75 g cornflour cornstarch
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution. For best results, sieve once or twice to fully incorporate the starches into the flour.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Shake or stir before use.

This blend is intended as a true plain flour substitute and can be used in most recipes in place of wheat flour.
For baking, a small amount of baking powder can be added as required. For recipes needing more structure, such as pastry, a little extra tapioca or a small amount of egg will improve handling.
As with all gluten-free baking, results are best when the flour is fresh and finely milled, with any coarse particles removed during preparation.
