Flour Power: Essential Gluten-Free Pantry Staples!
hey it’s Stephanie with the ranchers Homestead welcome back to the channel today we’re going to do a talking video um I’m trying to sprinkle in some of these that are just more of a talking not necessarily A how-to but a more knowledgeable thing especially when it comes to glutenfree I like to call it my.
Oldfashioned kitchen the gluten-free Edition So today we’re going to talk about glutenfree flowers now there are so many kinds of flowers out there and it’s really hard to know especially when you first are getting started which flowers you need you could spend hundreds of dollars on getting a bunch of different gluten-free flowers out.
There to stock your pantry but that necessarily isn’t going to help you in different recipes and so I’m going to go over my staple flowers that I keep in my pantry at all times there are five that I are she wanted to be in the video come down here bab there are five that I.
Definitely will always have in my pantry um and then I kind of gave a bonus one that’s not a flower but I always have that can be turned into a flower so let’s first talk where I get all of these flowers and I get them from Azure standard and I buy them in bulk so I usually buy them in 25 lb bags at a time sometimes 50 lb bags every once in.
A while I’m able to find a flower that I use regularly at our local men I store and I can get it in bulk and cheaper but for the most part the cheapest I’ve been able to find and the most convenient since I’m already ordering from there anyway is to buy on as your standard so let’s talk about the five my top five.
Non-negotiable staple flowers that I keep in my pantry and the first one is white Weiss flour I go through that the most it is the mildest and taste out of all the different kinds of gluten-free flowers that you can have it is the base the bulk of my allpurpose gluten-free flower blend that I make um that has the it carries the most flour it’s the most.
Like a white flower that would cook with it’ll make leave your products um more of a white fluffier than some of the other grainier flowers um however alone it doesn’t do a very good job you need to build with it to have a starch that’s just the fact of the matter with all gluten-free um flowers but white rice flour is a must in my pantry I buy it.
Buy it in a 25 to 50 lb bag always have it on stock um because I use it all of the time the the second flour is similar it’s brown rice flour so that is also going to be a more mild taste however it’s going to be a little bit more grainy so just like brown rice is different than white rice when you blend it up into a flour it is just slightly a.
Little more grainy and so um I always have brown rice and white rice and I use them for different things so I also put brown rice flour in my um all-purpose flower blend however um I don’t use it on a regular in in just different muffins and things like that I use it in my whole grain bread recipe I use it in um my cookie recipe so there’s different.
Recipes that I use and I can link all of those down in the description but brown rice is another one that you will want to get onto your shelf now the rice flowers only work when you have a starch paired with it so my favorite starch or flour if you find it and it says flour and sometimes it says starch it’s the same thing so go ahead and just buy.
Whichever one it says but that is tapioca flour tapioca flour is the starch in your recipe or the starch and your flower blend that builds it all together and so um my favorite is tapioca you can use different ones like corn starch aot which is also on my list but I like tapioca flour or tapioca starch the best so I always keep that.
There I find that on Azure standard um I usually buy it in a 25 lb bag and I keep it in a big 5 gallon white bucket just like I do all my other flour another flour that I really like to bake with I actually use it in all of my bread recipes and I feed my sourdough starter with it is sorghum flour now you can buy sorghum grains and grind them yourself.
Or you can just buy sorum flour I like to buy both because um in my whole grain recipe I like to Mill them fresh before I bake my bread but in my glutenfree um sourdough starter I like to just have something simple and I just like to feed it the flour so sorum flour is another big one that I always keep in my pantry I buy it in the Grain and I also buy it.
In the flour okay so here’s a little tip for you and I think I’ve shared it in previous tips is um always keep a good stockpile of corn starch in your pantry now this is going to be your cheapest thickening agent so if you need to make a gravy or you want to make a cheese sauce or anything like that you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour and.
That’ll work just fine but in order to cut cost cornstarch is going to be a heck of a lot cheaper and so I always use corn starch so I also use corn starch in my allpurpose flour blend and so that is something that I use regularly and I make up regularly so I always buy a good amount of cornstarch I actually buy you can find cornstarch.
Anywhere and it’s fairly cheap but in order to get it in bulk I usually get it on Azure standard and I get it in a 10 pound bag that is a lot of corn starch but it lasts me a really long time and I go ahead and put it in a bucket with a gamma seal lip if cornstarch is something that is hard for you um the next substitute that I would always have.
And I do always keep it in my pantry just because I do like to use it for different things and it also is a part of my gluten-free all-purpose flower blend is a root powder and that’s going to do similar to the corn starch it’s just a different form it’s not derived from corn so you are able to use them kind of.
Interchangeably so if there’s a recipe that calls for cornstarch you can use a root powder instead if you can’t tolerate the corn okay so those are my five flowers that I always keep in my pantry um they are a must because I use them in so many different things including recipes like Breads and stuff like that and of course.
Building my allpurpose flower blend but here is my bonus ingredient for you it’s not necessar a flour but it can be a flow when you throw it into the blender and that is gluten-free oats gluten-free oats we are so good to have in bulk they last forever if you seal them properly in a white bucket with a gamma seal lid I get them on Azure standard in a 50 lb.
Bag um I use those I blend them up and use them in my cookie recipe I use them in this other kind of cookie bar recipe that I have we use it as oatmeal there are so many different ways to use oats and they easily can become a flour when you need it so keeping a good bulk of gluten-free oats on your in your pantry is something that you should consider.
Now you don’t need to buy like I buy and buy 50 lbs of them but even a 25 lb bag of Oats that you can keep in your pantry will serve you well for quick breakfasts for a quick treat dessert making cookies or anything like that no baked cookies are really good if you have oats so I would highly recommend getting some oats in your pantry as well those are my.
Staple flowers that I keep in my my pantry um that are glutenfree that I can use all of my recipes in pretty much every recipe on the blog that you go and look at which I’ll drop a link to the blog in the description one of these flowers is going to be in and so this is what I where I would start if you’re unsure where to start start here getting.
