Customise your Gluten Free Flour Blend

Are you looking for a gluten and allergen free flour blend for your recipes?

With the right flour blend, you can achieve a finished product that can truly stand up to the taste and texture of gluten-containing alternatives. The need to cater to the increasing numbers of consumers who are either diagnosed with an allergy or coeliac disease or are simply choosing to follow a ‘Free From’ diet, is growing rapidly year on year and the demand for tasty gluten free products is on the rise! Manufacturers are therefore constantly on the lookout for the best gluten free flour mix and alternative to wheat flours for baking.

Challenges of gluten free baking

Traditionally wheat flour is used in baking, and this contains gluten, a protein that plays an important role in the strengthening and binding of the dough. Gluten captures and retains leavening gases and provides structure in the dough, helping to form the texture we have all come to expect from each baked good variety.

Many manufacturers struggle with finding a gluten free flour substitute that has both a palatable texture and produces a finished product that rivals the ‘real thing’. Working with non-wheat flour certainly has its challenges, perhaps most notably in the reproduction of the structural development. In order to bake delicious gluten free products, there is a need to find the best alternative binding agent, an ingredient that can take on the same role as gluten and create the unique textures expected from specific pastry types.
