Gluten Free Flour for Baking & Cooking

Gluten free flour comes in many forms, from versatile flour blends designed for everyday baking to flours made from naturally gluten-free ingredients such as rice and buckwheat. Choosing the right one depends on what you're making, as different flours can behave differently in a recipe.

At Evergreen, you'll find gluten free flour for everything from cakes and biscuits to bread, pizza and everyday cooking.

What Types of Gluten Free Flour Are Available?

There are several types to choose from, including gluten free plain flour, self-raising flour, bread flour and specialist baking blends. You'll also find individual flours made from naturally gluten-free ingredients, such as rice and buckwheat.

Some blends are designed as convenient alternatives to conventional wheat flour, while others are formulated for a particular type of baking. Check the individual product instructions to find the best match for your recipe.

What Is the Best Gluten Free Flour for Baking?

The best gluten free flour depends on what you're baking. A general-purpose or plain gluten free flour can be a useful choice for many cakes, biscuits and everyday recipes, while bread, pizza and other bakes may work better with a flour or blend specifically designed for them.

For recipes that need a lighter texture or particular structure, follow the flour manufacturer's guidance for the best results.

Which Gluten Free Flour Is Best for Bread?

A gluten free bread flour or blend specifically developed for bread making is usually the simplest place to start. These products combine ingredients chosen to help produce the structure and texture needed for gluten free bread.

Browse the product descriptions to find flours designed for loaves, rolls and other bread recipes.

Is Buckwheat Flour Gluten Free?

Despite its name, buckwheat isn't a type of wheat and is naturally gluten free. Buckwheat flour has a distinctive flavour and can be used in recipes such as pancakes and baking, either alone or combined with other flours.

For people with coeliac disease, it's still important to choose a product specifically labelled gluten free because cross-contamination can occur during growing, milling or packing.

Is Rice Flour Gluten Free?

Rice is naturally gluten free, and rice flour is commonly used on its own or as an ingredient in gluten free flour blends. Different varieties can have different textures and uses, so check the individual product and recipe guidance when baking.

Is Spelt Flour Gluten Free?

No. Spelt is a type of wheat and contains gluten, so spelt flour isn't suitable for a gluten-free diet or for people with coeliac disease.

Do I Need Xanthan Gum with Gluten Free Flour?

It depends on the flour and the recipe. Some gluten free flour blends already contain ingredients intended to help provide structure, while other recipes may call for xanthan gum or another binder separately.

Check the flour ingredients and follow the recipe or manufacturer's instructions before adding it separately.
