What's the Difference? Gluten Free All Purpose Flour & Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour

By: Whitney Barnes | May 17 2018
We often get asked about the difference between our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour so I decided to take a little dive into the similarities and differences between the two. In this post I’ll talk about the ingredients and their roles, how the two flours are best used in recipes, and some tips and tricks we’ve learned through experience. Both the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour are great for baking and cooking and it might just boil down to your taste preference! Our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour was our original blend and a few years after hearing your feedback we also created our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. Both can be used as a cup for cup replacement for wheat flour, with a few stipulations. Let’s back up and first take a look at the ingredients.

Ingredient Differences

Both blends have tapioca flour and sorghum flour. You’ll notice that these two flours are common among most of our gluten free blends. The Tapioca Flour adds a light texture and Sorghum Flour is added for its mild flavor, smooth texture, and high protein content. These characteristics create a good base of neutral flavor for structure and texture to build upon. In addition to to the Sorghum and Tapioca Flours, the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour has Garbanzo Bean Flour, Potato Flour, and Fava Bean Flour for protein and body. There is no Xanthan Gum in this mixture. For most recipes you’d need to add Xanthan Gum to help bind together your batter/dough for the best texture. To know how much Xanthan Gum to add to your recipe, there’s a handy chart below and one listed on the bag. Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour has a base of Sweet White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, and Potato Starch. The mild rice flavor is a neutral and complementary base for most sweet recipes. It also has the Sorghum and Tapioca Flour added along with the addition of Xanthan Gum. With the Xanthan Gum already blended into this mixture, it can be a simple cup for cup replacement in most baking recipes.

Flavor Differences

The Gluten Free All Purpose Flour has both Garbanzo and Fava Bean flour, both of which are milled from raw, dried beans. Depending on your recipe, the bean flavor from the flour can compliment your recipe or detract from the other flavors. It works really well for savory breads, rich chocolatey brownies, thickening gravy, or breading meats. It may not work so well for a sweet crepe or shortbread cookie where the delicate flavors are easily overtaken. Also important to note, if you’re like me and have been known to sneak a taste of cookie dough or cake batter, you might find the bean flavor a bit strong - but know that the flavor dissipates and mellows during baking and your finished product will have a different flavor profile. The Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, as mentioned above, has a base of Sweet White Rice and Brown Rice Flour, both of which have a neutral flavor base and work well in both savory and sweet recipes. This flour blend works well for recipes like quick breads, cakes, cookies, muffins, etc. *Recipes listed below

Performance Differences

We’ve found that the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour works well with both yeasted recipes and those that use baking soda and baking powder as the leavening agent. Because of the higher protein and fiber content in the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, it’s better suited for yeasted recipes than the Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. The higher protein content creates better structure for the carbon dioxide bubbles released from the yeast, giving you a better crumb and loftier yeasted loaves. Our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flours works perfect with recipes that use baking powder and/or baking soda as the leavening agent. Since it already has the Xanthan Gum within the blend, you can substitute this in your recipes cup for cup - replace your flour, not your recipes!

Tips and Tricks

Gluten free baking can be a bit intimidating but with a little practice, you’ll be a pro! Here are some of my favorite tips:
  • Gluten free doughs can be delicate in comparison to the wheat version - allow extra time for the flour to hydrate/rest and handle with care.
  • Pizza and cookie dough will be sticky - wet your hands before patting dough into place or use a layer of parchment paper in between.
  • Gluten free baked goods may not brown in the same manner as the wheat version - watch your bake times closely and adjust as needed.
  • If your recipe calls for eggs, you can substitute a flax egg or chia egg depending on the recipe, but the final results may vary as eggs provide structure and lift to gluten free baked goods.

What should I make?

Remember, with both our Gluten Free All Purpose and Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, you can use your existing recipes with just a few changes! If you use the Gluten Free All Purpose, you’ll need to add Xanthan Gum to your flour before mixing but if you use our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour you can just sub it in, cup for cup! Here are some of our favorite recipes (pictured above) using both flour blends to help get your creativity going. What’s your favorite thing to make with these flours?

    Just wondering if anyone has tried to get a tart or galette crust with the 1 to 1 flour that is a bit flakier than the usual pie dough? Tender but definitely flaky is what I’m looking for.

      Hi Patty! You can make a pie dough for a tart or galette using the Gluten Free 1-to-1. The gluten free dough will be a bit more delicate than wheat dough and will benefit from a 30 minute+ resting time in the refrigerator before rolling out. As far as obtaining a nice flaky crust, this may have more to do with the type of fat you use and the method. I would recommend taking a look at this method from Serious Eats: Old-Fashioned Flaky Pie Dough for inspiration.

    I am planning on making some sweet red bean buns(steamed) and am trying to figure out which flour would be better to use. I've looked in to it and for steamed buns when using wheat flour you want to use all purpose since it has only a moderate amount of protien. This makes me think I would want to use the 1 to 1 flour for gluten flour.(I also feel the lighter flavor of this flour would work better)

    However you also want the buns to be able to proof well with yeast(and in some recipes additional baking powder) so they don't collapse/wrinkle when steaming, and you've stated the all purpose would be better suited for that.

    Do you have any suggestions for which flour may work better? Or should I try making the recipe with each one and see which works better(I already have both flours). Maybe try a combination? I know there's lots of experimentation in gluten free baking. I'm not yet a very experienced baker(gf or otherwise) and would appreciate some feed back.

      Hi Sienna! For that type of recipe I would recommend starting your experimentation with the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. The yeast will need the higher protein flour in order to support any carbon dioxide bubbles created by the yeast. The stronger flavor in the flour may come through; however, I find that it typically dissipates during baking/steaming. You may want to add a bit more sugar to the dough if you find the final flavor a bit too strong. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach our Recipe Specialist at 1-800-349-2173.

      Hi Patti, hm - that's not a recipe we've tested but the gluten free flour should work. I would check to make sure that your batter is blended very well (air in the batter helps create the signature texture and lofty height) as well as having a piping hot pan and oil before your pour in the batter.

    1. Whitney Barnes
      Hi Melva, I would recommend increasing the bake time for your muffins, biscuits, etc. The gluten free flour can absorb liquid at a different rate and often takes a few minutes longer to bake than its gluten-filled counterpart. I'd recommend adding on a few minutes and testing for doneness. If you have additional questions our Customer Service team is happy to help: [email protected] or 1-800-349-2173

    I tried the 1 to 1 in a bread recipe for my bread maker, but after the kneading and rising cycles were complete, I peaked in and there was only flour with a few dough balls. I tried this twice, thinking that I perhaps should use more water than the recipe called for (which I used before I had to go gluten free). But that created a rock solid loaf. Is there any guidance for bread makers - like what kind of gluten free flour to use?

      Hi! We recommend our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour for bread machine recipes. Check out the tips in this blog post for more information about why that flour works better than our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.

      When using a bread machine, keep in mind that gluten free breads don't need a second rise like wheat breads. If you're able to adjust the settings on your bread machine, you'll likely have better results. Some newer bread machines have a "gluten free bread" setting that employs only a single rise. Here's our favorite bread machine recipe that uses our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.

    Your chart for using xanthan gum advises different amounts if you are baking cookies (1/4 t / c flour), cakes (1/2 t / c fl), or muffins (3/4 t / c fl), yet your article says you can use the baking mix 1 to 1 for those recipes. Should I be adding more "x" gum if I am using the 1 to 1 baking blend for muffins?

    I make pies using an old 'no roll' crust recipe from Mazola, so I tried using the 1-to-1 flour and it worked great, so my GF family members could try my pie. It was a little crumbly around the edges, but I haven't tried it more than once. I did an exact swap for wheat flour:
    2 cups AP Flour (Red's 1-to-1)
    2/3 cup Mazola oil
    2 tbsp cold milk
    2 tsp sugar
    1 tsp salt

    Sift dry ingredients into pie pan
    Combine Mazola and milk, and whip with a fork
    Pour entire mixture over dry ingredients and mix with a fork until all flour is damp
    Starting in the center, press dough evenly to the edge

    SIMPLE!!! Enjoy

    Your 1:1 GF flour is life changing! I very much prefer the taste of the 1:1 flour - made yeasted hamburger buns yesterday with the AP GF baking flour and did not enjoy the flavor.

I’m desperate to make some delicious crusty yeasty artisan bread and am afraid of another flop (like my first two batches of 1:1 yeasted hamburger buns that did not rise - whamp wahmp).

    Fill muffin cups of hot muffin pan to the rim. Bake for 40 mins. Don't remove from the oven early, or they will collapse.
    Excellent with roast beef and gravy, or served cold, filled with vanilla ice cream.

    I’m trying my favorite old family recipe for brownies and the middle is just not cooking. The outsides are cracking but the inside is still wet. I used the 1 for 1 baking flour. Any hints?

      Hi Beth - Usually the Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour works as a 1:1 replacement, but sometimes you may need to tweak the recipe. In this instance, it sounds like the flour isn't able to absorb all the fat from the butter, eggs, or oil, causing it to feel wet in the center. Here's a recipe we recommend that's been tested with our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour:

    I like to use a scale for baking. What is the weight of 1 cup of 1 to 1 flour?

    Hi
    Does Bob's Red Mill 1:1 have a "gritty" texture?

      Hi Deborah, it does have a different texture in comparison to wheat flour because it's made from different grains. Rice flour, in particular, can be described as gritty. However, our rice flour is very finely milled and we don't find that our customers describe our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour as gritty/sandy.

    Hi. I’m allergic to xantham gum and prefer not to use any gums at all. However, I’m looking for a yeast recipe to make challah rolls that will have a little over 50% oats with some substitutes for the gums. It sounds from your description like the GF all purpose flour with the oat flour & xantham gum substitute might be the answer. So far any time I’ve tried to create my own mix, the oat flour makes it very bitter. There’re mixes on the market that work well, but all have xantham gum in them. Help please.
