Organic Flour Mills gluten-free organic sorghum flour has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and smooth texture that makes it suitable for use in gluten-free cakes, breads and other baked goods including brownies, cookies, muffins, and waffles. Sorghum flour combines well when whisked in with other flours, making up 25% or 30% of the flour mix. When using only gluten-free flours, such as a mixture of sorghum with rice flour or millet flour, guar gum is often added to bind the mixture.
Sorghum flour itself helps bind moisture into the dough or batter, and makes a good substitute for other medium-weight flours, such as brown rice flour. Sorghum flour can also be added to heavier-weight flours such as buckwheat flour, with its higher protein content, which helps it to rise and produce a less dense product. And of course it can be added to gluten flours such as wheat flour, which has a comparable texture and density. Sorghum flour also promotes the formation of CO2 bubbles when making bread.
