Bob's Red Mill Brown Rice Flour
What it is
Bob's Red Mill Brown Rice Flour is a finely milled flour made from whole grain brown rice. It retains the bran and germ of the rice kernel, contributing to its slightly nutty flavor and coarser texture compared to white rice flour.
How people cook with it
This flour can be used in a variety of baked goods and cooking applications.
- Thickening sauces
- Coating for frying
- Pancakes and waffles
Brown rice flour can be incorporated into your favorite recipes for cakes, cookies, muffins, and breads. It can also be used as a natural thickener for gravies, soups, and stews, providing a smooth consistency. For a crispy coating on fried foods like chicken or fish, dusting with brown rice flour before cooking adds a satisfying crunch.
How it differs from similar foods
Its texture is generally a bit grittier, which can impact the final texture of baked goods, often requiring adjustments in recipes.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused brown rice flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended for longer storage to prevent spoilage and preserve its quality. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to keep out moisture and pests.
