And the sweet cassava or cassava starch It is easy to find diet and nutrition stores and it is very common in stores of foreign products such as Pakistani or Latin American.

How to use this gluten-free flour mix for baking?

In most gluten-free pastry recipes you will see that they use the terms "Premix", "flour mix", "flour mix", etc. All of them refer to a set of ingredients whose percentage of starch and flour may vary from one brand to another.

Using this mixture is very simple. You just have to follow the instructions of the recipe you want to make using the same amount of this mixture gluten-free flour. That is, if the recipe calls for 100 g of premix, flour mix or flour mix, you have to put 100 g of this gluten-free flour mix… simple, right?

It is very important to follow the directions well. Remember that this flour mixture is not sponge cake, that is, it does not contain any ingredient that makes the dough rise. So add propellant or yeast if the recipe tells you to.

It is also not suitable for making bread. The world of the gluten-free bakery it is more complex and different percentages of ingredients are used for each type of bread. However, as I already mentioned, this gluten-free flour mixture is great for making cakes, cookies, muffins, etc.

    I have made a cake with the published recipe and it has not turned out well, it has not risen. In the list of ingredients you put sweet tapioca starch and then in the breakdown of the recipe you put cassava or cassava, which is the right thing to do.

      Hi Angels,

      I appreciate that you have written us and left your comment. It has inspired me to add a section on how to use this flour mixture that may be useful to you and other followers.

      About cassava, cassava or tapioca you only have to know a couple of things to be able to distinguish them well.
      The first thing is that to make this recipe you need starch and not flour. It has the same texture as cornstarch, that is, it is much finer than flour.
      The second thing is that the container has to say "sweet", it doesn't matter if you put cassava starch or cassava starch. It must be sweet because there is a bitter version and it does not work for this recipe.

      With regard to your cake ... surely you already know that gluten-free cakes are not distinguished, precisely because they are tall and with an airy crumb. This is only achieved with gluten and our doughs do not carry it.
      In any case, this flour mixture is not sponge cake, that is, it does not have any impeller or yeast. If the recipe you have made tells you to add baking powder or promoter, you have to put it in so that your cake rises a little.

      I leave you several recipes that are made with this mixture of gluten-free flour for confectionery:
