What can I substitute for wheat flour in cooking?
A few people I know, including my sweetheart, are allergic to wheat. I want to know what amounts of different flours I can use to make up for the lack of wheat ingredients in things like; bread, pizza, cookies, and pancakes.

Another topic said to mix some rice flour with cornstarch, though that was only to make up for the gluten content of what was being baked.

To make a standard recipe free of white flour, substitute one of the following:
1- 3/8 cups barley flour for 1 cup white flour
1 cup corn flour for 1 cup white flour
7/8 cup corn meal for each cup white flour
3/8 cup potato flour for 1 cup of white flour
7/8 cup rice flour for each cup of white flour
1 cup rye meal for 1 cup white flour
1-1/2 cups ground rolled oats or 1 cup oat flour for 1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour for 1 cup white flour.
1 cup of wheat flour equals...
7/8 cup amaranth
7/8 cup garbanzo bean
7/8 cup chickpea (garbanzo)
3/4 cup corn flour
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup millet flour
3/4 cup oat flour
5/8 cup potato flour
3/4 cup potato starch
7/8 cup rice flour
3/4 cup soy flour

Hi! There are some excellent cookbooks on the market, including many by Bette Hagman, she offers lots of gluten free (which is wheat free) flour mixes. You can also buy rice, tapioca, potato, soy flours. And if he is truly allergic to wheat and NOT have Celiac Disease, then he can have rye nad barley and oat flour. But if he has Celiac Disease (we often say we are allergic to make it easier for ppl to understand) then he needs to useo nly gluten free flour and mixes.
I'll list some sites with recipes and other info! Best of luck!
