Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour 16kg

Gluten Free Self Raising Flour

Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour 16kg is a versatile gluten free baking flour, specially blended to produce light, delicious cakes, muffins, scones and everyday bakes without traditional wheat flour. Made from a combination of naturally gluten free rice, potato, tapioca, maize and buckwheat, with added raising agents, this self raising flour offers a convenient alternative to conventional self raising flour for a wide variety of sweet and savoury recipes.

Designed to be used in place of regular self raising flour, the blend takes much of the guesswork out of gluten free baking. The added raising agents help cakes and sponges rise during baking, while the combination of different flours and starches creates a versatile base for everything from classic Victoria sponges and lemon drizzle cakes to fluffy pancakes and homemade scones. Gluten free flour can absorb liquid differently from wheat flour, so some recipes may benefit from a little additional liquid to achieve the right consistency.

Supplied in a generous 16kg catering sack, Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour is particularly practical for bakeries, cafés, restaurants, schools and busy foodservice kitchens preparing gluten free products regularly. The larger format is ideal for batch baking, helping maintain consistency across recipes while reducing the need to purchase multiple smaller bags.

Can Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour replace normal self raising flour?

Yes, this flour is designed as a gluten free alternative to conventional self raising flour and can be substituted in many everyday baking recipes. However, gluten free flour blends behave differently from wheat flour, particularly when absorbing moisture. You may need to add a little extra milk, water or another liquid to achieve the correct batter or dough consistency.

Do I need to add baking powder to Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour?

Not usually. Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour already contains raising agents, making it suitable for recipes that call for self raising flour. Additional baking powder should only be added if the recipe specifically requires it, as using too much can affect the rise, texture and flavour of the finished bake.

What is the difference between gluten free plain flour and gluten free self raising flour?

Gluten free plain flour is generally a blend of gluten free flours and starches without added raising agents, making it suitable for pastry, sauces and recipes where you want to control the amount of raising agent used. Gluten free self raising flour contains added raising agents and is particularly convenient for cakes, muffins, scones and other bakes that need to rise.

Ingredients:

Flour blend (rice, potato, tapioca, maize, buckwheat), raising agents (mono-calcium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate), thickener (xanthan gum).
