You can use the recipe below for Homemade Gluten Free flour mix
or buy a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix
If your using a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix check to see if it has Xanthan Gum,
if it does then you do not need to add Xanathan Gum to the Recipe.


Gluten Free Homemade Flour Mix for:
cookies, muffins, bars, brownies cakes, quick & yeast breads, rolls, buns and biscuits
I got this recipe at the Gluten Free Expo.


2 1/4 Cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brown Rice Flour
1/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Potato Starch
2/3 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Tapioca Starch
3/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Sweet Rice Flour
1/3 Cup Cornstarch

Measure all the ingredients into a container. I used a spoon to lightly mix it together then put the cover on and shake well.
(Making sure its a tight fitting cover)

The original recipe called to add 2 tsp. Xanthan Gum
I did not do that, I like to add mine to each recipe individually.

I've checked the internet and I have seen that many people use this mix so I don't know who was the original person who made the recipe.

I used a digital thermometer to check the bread for when its done. Bake until it reaches an internal temperature  205*-210* in the center of the bread.
Its also great to check the temperature of the milk and water before adding the yeast. Its a helpful gadget.

DYI: Febreze Air Freshener

You can save a lot of money making you own
DYI: Febreze Air Freshener.
It's super easy to make.
I have found many website with this Recipe, I do not know who to credit for
making the original formula. The only thing difference I did was add some Lavender Essential Oil.


For more recipes and tidbits please join me on my
Facebook Gluten Free Page:
https://www.facebook.com/SharingGlutenFreeRecipes




Homemade Febreze:


1-32 oz. Spray Bottle

Place a small funnel into the Spray Bottle.
Add 2 TBL. Baking Soda, I use a Toothpick to help push it through
Add 2-3 TBL. Fabric Softener (I used Suavitel)
Add 12-20 Drops of Lavendar Essenstial Oils or any other oil of your choice or you can skip the Oil.
Fill the Spray bottle almost all the way.
Give it a good shake.
Spray some on a towel, test to see if you would like more Softener or Oil.

I always test my sprays to make sure it does not make the fabric bleed or stain..
for example spray the back of your couch to see how the fabric reacts.
I have never had an issues with the Spray.

Make sure you shake it each time you use it.
