About this preset
For this brown-rice bread blend, use a recipe with the same tapioca and potato starch proportions. Keep those proportions together as you measure.
What goes into a flour blend?
A blend brings whole flours and starches together. Choose your bake to see which ingredients go in the preset and how much of each you'll need.
Start with the preset for your type of bake. Bread and cookie blends use different proportions; the ingredient percentages help you compare them. For nutrition, compare the labels on the flours you're using.
Changing the percentages means changing the blend. The preset's binder and baking guidance stays tied to the original proportions, so pair your custom mix with a recipe written for it.
Whole flours
You'll see rice, sorghum, oat or cassava flour depending on the preset you choose.
Starch ingredients
Tapioca, potato, and arrowroot are starch options. Their share varies by preset.
Other flour options
Compare chickpea, teff, and quinoa in the Flour Database before using them in a recipe.
If you’d rather use a ready-made blend, browse our Flour Database to compare ingredients, density, and suggested uses. To estimate a single flour swap, open the Flour Converter.
Questions before mixing your blend
When is a homemade blend useful?
Mix your own when you need control over the ingredients or your recipe calls for a particular blend. A packaged blend saves the weighing and mixing. Either way, read current labels for the ingredients you need to avoid.
Can I replace a starch in a preset?
A different starch makes a different blend, so use a recipe that includes the one you want. The builder keeps its preset guidance when you change ingredients; keep the recipe's proportions together.
Where does the binder amount come from?
The binder estimate belongs to the original preset for your type of bake. When you change percentages, take the binder amount from a recipe written for the custom blend. Include any gum already in its ingredients when working out what to add.
Should I use a cookie preset for yeast bread?
Choose the bread preset for a yeast loaf. It has different flour proportions from the cookie preset, and you can compare them above. Use a bread recipe written for those ingredients to set the binder and baking method.
