Authentic Foods Steve’s GF Bread Flour Blend — Gluten-Free Bread Mix (1 lb), Yeast-Ready Dough, No Added Gums

Steve's GF Bread Flour Blend by Authentic Foods is a ready-to-use gluten-free flour mix formulated to produce real, workable dough that bakes into light, risen breads and rolls without added gums.

Designed for home bakers and artisan cooks who want gluten-free results that behave like wheat dough, this blend combines rice flour, non-GMO cornstarch, tapioca flour, millet flour, a fiber mix, and essential leavening and conditioning ingredients. The formula was developed so dough will proof, stretch, and shape — delivering volume and texture closer to traditional wheat loaves. Use it straight from the bag in breads, buns, pretzels, cinnamon rolls, and many other yeast-leavened or enriched recipes.

How does Steve's GF Blend create a real dough without gluten?

The blend uses a balance of flours, starches, and an AF fiber component plus ascorbic acid to mimic the structure and extensibility of wheat dough. Those ingredients allow the mix to trap gas and expand during proofing so you get visible rise and spring in the crumb.

• Rice flour and millet provide body and flavor stability.
• Tapioca and cornstarch add elasticity and chewiness.
• AF Fiber Blend improves moisture retention and structure.
• Ascorbic acid supports dough strength during fermentation.

Can I swap this blend for wheat flour in my favorite recipes?

Yes — Steve's GF Blend is formulated to be used like regular flour and can replace wheat in many recipes with minimal adjustments. For best results, follow Authentic Foods’ recipes or substitute up to recommended percentages in your wheat-based formulas and monitor hydration and proof times.

• Use 100% of this blend in most yeast bread recipes designed for gluten-free flour.
• Follow AuthenticFoods.com/Recipes for tested conversions and timing.
• Reduce substitution to about 70% when adapting some wheat recipes for structure-sensitive bakes.
• Adjust water slightly—gluten-free doughs often need different hydration.

What kinds of baked goods work best with this mix?

Steve’s GF Blend excels in yeast-leavened and enriched items where dough handling matters. Expect excellent results with pan loaves, rolls, bagels, and enriched breads like challah and brioche, as well as softer shapes such as cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls.

• Pan loaves and sandwich bread with good sliceability.
• Soft dinner rolls, hamburger buns, and hot dog rolls that hold shape.
• Pretzels, bagels, and artisan shapes that require elasticity and chew.
• Sourdough, enriched doughs, and shaped pastries with reliable lift.

Do I need gums or extra additives to get the same texture?

No additional gums are required for most applications—this blend is formulated to perform without xanthan or guar. That said, some bakers add small amounts of gums for specific textural tweaks or longer shelf life in commercial settings.

• Works without gums in home and artisanal recipes.
• Optional gum additions can enhance chew or softness if desired.
• Follow recipe notes for shelf-life or industrial-scale adjustments.
• Simple hydration and proofing control often yields best texture.

Who is this for? Steve's GF Bread Flour Blend is made for people who need or prefer gluten-free baking but refuse to compromise on traditional dough handling and finished texture. It's ideal for home bakers, small bakery owners, and anyone who wants to shape, braid, twist, and proof dough that behaves like wheat-based mixes—perfect for everyday loaves, special occasion breads, and handcrafted pastries.
