Stop buying these at the store. 6 flours you can make at home (Page 3 ) | May 18, 2025

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of rice flour, 2/3 cup of potato starch, and 1/3 cup of tapioca flour.
Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Usage: Substitute this blend 1:1 for all-purpose flour in most recipes. For best results in baked goods, consider adding a binder like xanthan gum or guar gum (typically 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour).
5. Making All-Purpose Flour at Home
While all-purpose flour is widely available, making it at home allows you to ensure its freshness and quality.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat berries
Equipment:
Grain mill or high-powered blender
Fine mesh sieve or flour sifter
Instructions:
Place whole wheat berries into a grain mill or a high-speed blender.
Grind until a fine flour is achieved.
To turn whole wheat flour into something closer to all-purpose flour, sift the flour to remove the bran and germ. This will result in a lighter flour with a finer texture.
Repeat sifting as needed to reach desired consistency.
Store in an airtight container, away from heat and light, to preserve freshness.
Tip: Homemade all-purpose flour is less refined but still versatile for baking, cooking, and thickening.
