How to Make a 4-Bean Flour blend (gluten free) - Perfect for Autistic Diets or Celiacs

This is a 4-bean blend gluten-free flour that substitutes for whole wheat flour in recipes. Perfect for those with autism or Celiac's disease!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 cups Garfava flour (or 2 cups Garbanzo flour and 2 cups Fava flour)
• 2 cups Jowar (Sorghum) flour
• 6 cups Arrowroot starch
• 6 cups Tapioca starch
• large container for storage

1. Get a fairly large container ready to use for storage. (I used an old popcorn tin.) Make sure it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried.

2. Pour 4 cups Garfava flour into the container. I usually buy my Garfava flour from Whole Foods. If you cannot find Garfava flour, then use 2 cups Garbanzo (also called Chickpea) flour and 2 cups Fava flour.

3. Pour 2 cups Jowar (also called Sorghum) flour into the container. I usually buy my Jowar flour from my local Indo-Pak store, but it can also be found at Whole Foods.

4. Pour 6 cups Arrowroot starch into the container. You can find Arrowroot starch in the flour section of Whole Foods.

5. Pour 6 cups Tapioca starch (or Tapioca flour - it is the same thing) into the container. This can be found at your local Asian or Indo-Pak store or Whole Foods.

6. Using a whisk (preferably with a long long handle), blend all the flours together until thoroughly mixed. Now you will have flour ready for all of your future baking recipes! A cup of this mix will substitute for a cup of whole wheat flour in regular recipes.
