Multi Blend Gluten-Free Flour

We have tried a lot of gluten free flours. Just used this to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and it is hands down the best. The cookies are delicious - chewy, crispy, and you wouldn't even know they are gluten free. They don't have a grainy texture like some flours. This will be our new go-to GF flour. Wow!

My 12 yo daughter was diagnosed with Celiac in October of 2019 and we are big bakers so I am not going to lie- there were a few tears shed. I have tried all sorts of things - bakeries, recipes, all the flours, then mixing my own flours. I have an ATK cookbook, I looked at websites, we buy the Ciba products etc etc. But really all you wanna do when you are gluten free is replace the flour you already use in your own recipes and call it gluten free. This is that flour. I find that many gluten free recipes try too hard to be healthy or paleo or get you to mix their flour recipe which is just fussy. This flour is very fine but not powdery like cup4cup. It feels like regular flour. You simply substitute. If you want, you can use 3/4 cup for recipes that call for a cup or you can add more moist ingredients like milk or sour cream or yogurt. I made banana bread and choc chip cookies with this flour recently and you really would not know that they were gluten free. Also my son has a nut allergy and this flour is nut free as well (I believe- double check).

I use this GF flour for EVERYTHING and it's never let me down. Muffins, cakes, quickbreads come out moist and hold together just like wheat flour. I even use it to thicken gravies, stews, soups, anywhere you would use wheat flour in a roux and it works beautifully. I just made a very silky Thanksgiving gravy with it and nobody had a clue it was GF. The package says to substitute 3/4 cup in place of 1 cup of wheat flour, but honestly, I use it cup for cup and never had a problem. I hope they never change this formulation because it's perfect the way it is.

The price is absolutely ridiculous however. I try to only use it on my soft squishy dinner rolls for special occaisions!

Having just gone gluten free on the recommendation of my physician, I was worried about not gettting to eat all of the things that I love (i.e. cookies, cakes, etc). I enjoy baking so I thought I would try making chocolate chip cookies with gluten free flour as a trial run. I'd heard all kinds of horrible things about gluten free baked goods, especially bread (try Kinnikinnick Gluten Free Bread (frozen) - it's fantastic!!). I stumbled across Authentic Foods Multi-Blend Gluten Free Flour while searching on Amazon and although the price was steep, I thought I'd give it a try.All I can say is WOW!!!! This is the real deal - - I could not taste the difference at all. The cookies were soft with just a hint of crispiness on the outside. I'm pretty picky about ingredients when I bake and I was completely and utterly won over. My family even commented on how yummy the cookies were (I didn't tell them they were gluten free until they were licking their fingers!). I will definitely buy this flour again and am going to try making cupcakes next. Can't wait to try them!!P.S. It does say on the package not to use this flour in yeast recipes UNLESS the recipe is specifically gluten free. Not sure why, but I guess just don't substitute this gluten free flour in a regular flour yeast recipe.

Have to say this is the best gluten free flour blend I have come across to date. I absolutely hate wasting money and was so stingy on trying gluten free versions because of all the flour blends and mixes I bought or made, so many turned out horribly! I think this is the first time I went back and bought another bag, it was that good. So far I have made pancakes, pie crust, cookies, onion rings, fried chicken and a few other things. They have all turned out perfectly. You couldn't even tell most of it was gluten free. Based on the reviews and instructions I havent tried any yeast recipes but for everything else it seems to be a clear winner. Best yet, its about the same price as most gluten free products!!!Update: This is still the winner in gluten free flour blends HANDS DOWN. I have since used this flour to make a variety of baked goods from cakes, oven pancakes, cupcakes, churros, fry batters, and pretty much anything savory or sweet I can think of (except yeast recipes still havent done those based on the reviews). Everything has turned out wonderfully. Try this flour- you wont be disappointed.

Multi-Blend Gluten Free Flour - 3lbIf you miss baked-good recipes which were based on all purpose wheat flour then you must try this product. The manufacturer recommends that you replace each cup of all purpose wheat flour with 3/4 cup of the Multi-Blend Gluten Free Flour. I was quite skeptical because of earlier disappointments with gluten free products. To try the product I used my favorite corn bread recipe (old fashioned New England style with low fat/low sugar). When the corn bread came out of the oven it looked exactly like the corn bread I would make with wheat flour. The taste and consistency of the gluten free corn bread was equal to or better than the wheat based recipe. It was also as light as the wheat based recipe. On the down side this flour does not work with wheat based recipes for yeast breads. The manufacturer indicates that you should try gluten free recipes for yeast breads. I need to do some more research on gluten free recipes for yeast breads. If I find recipes that I like, I will note them here.
