If you prefer to make your own gluten free flour blend from scratch, or are based outside of the UK and want to recreate the FREEE gluten free plain flour, then this is a lovely recipe to try.
It’s extracted from my cookbook Eat & Enjoy Gluten Free and works with all the delicious gluten free recipes in the book (if you like good gluten free food, it’s a great book to add to your collection).

What Can I Use This Flour Blend For?
My gluten free flour blend is a great multipurpose flour that can be used for baking cakes, cookies, breads, making pasta and even thickening sauces.
Use it in any recipe of mine that is based on the FREEE flour blend (a large majority of my bakes). However do not use it to replace the Caputo flour, as that’s a very different blend.
Where Can I Buy The Individual Flours & Starches?
In the UK, I would recommend Shipton Mill. They sell a really nice range of reasonably priced gluten free flours and starches. I use them often.
There’s also a new company called Other Flours. I haven’t tried their range yet but the owner is an excellent gluten free bread baker and I am sure he has sourced high quality ingredients.
In the US, I see the Bob’s Red Mill range sells all of the flours/starches needed for this recipe, so that’s a good place to start. Although I am sure there are other stockists too.
Elsewhere in the world, best do a little google search to identify your best local stockists. If you have any recommendations for your country, do let me know.

- 150g (5.5 oz) tapioca starch
- 100g (3.5 oz) buckwheat flour
Instructions

Notes
Keeps for about 6 months. Store in a cool place.
