RYZE Gluten Free Flour - Natural, No Fillers, 4lbs

I DID NOT get a free bag in return for a review. A friend told me about this and being gluten free for 7 yrs., I'd given up on cooking/eating some things, so I was somewhat skeptical to their claims.I first made some gingersnaps using my OLD fav recipe to see if it was truly cup for cup. Because I'm terribly sensitive to xanthan gum, which is in everything that is gluten free it seems and all recipes require it for rising qualities. I was most interested in this product's claims that it isn't needed!!!Today I decided to try the biscuit recipe on their website (with some changes, I can't ever leave anything alone), whichwas different from the recipe on the bag by 1/2 c. of flour!!I cannot believe how easy the dough was to handle. I'm not kidding, it was too good to be true. I'm a Southern girl and I've been known in the "old days" to make mean biscuits, so think I'm a practiced hand. Although, it has been a long time since making them and I'd long since given up the idea of EVER having a descent one again. These nearly made me cry. Too good- I may eat the whole tray!!! They are so pretty, too.So let me tell you what I did to "mess with the recipe a bit", first I ditched the sugar. With my menu I wanted a more substantial taste, so I added 1/8 tsp. cayenne and 3 Tbs. of grated hard Gouda cheese. I reduced the butter by 1 Tbs. (I was using cheese which is fatty). Since my old biscuits were always made with buttermilk, I substituted that and added 1/2 tsp. soda that one must when using buttermilk. They are over 1 1/2 inches high!!Fabulous.I can't wait to make something else now.

Every gluten-free flour is different. I've altered all of my recipes for Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free mix. I accidentally ordered Ryze blue bag when I clicked Buy It Now. Didn't realize it until the package shipped.It was a happy accident. This blue bag is amazing in my chocolate chip cookies and for homemade tortillas. I am still trying to make it work for biscuits. It does not work in my three ingredient biscuits with parmesan and ricotta cheeses. The biscuits come out too doughy.For the chocolate chip cookies... this flour makes them taste like regular cookies! They are moist and chewy and not as tough. I could not believe the flavor! These were a huge hit when I had people try them. They were used to the previous flour mix and thought these were not gluten free.It makes a pretty good crust as well.I cannot wait to try the yellow bag to see the difference in how the flours bake.

I just received this product a couple of weeks ago, but I have made the cinnamon sugar donut recipe on the RYZE website, and then two other of my normal gluten free recipes (banana bars & banana walnut pancakes). Everything has come out perfectly and there is no gritty taste at all, which you sometimes get with gluten free flours. Over all I am very pleased with this product so far. UPDATE 4/15 - I am now on my second bag of this flour. We absolutely love it!UPDATE: 6/6/18 - I know I already gave this product 5 stars, but I just wanted to add that I have made the gluten free pancakes (recipe on the RYZE website) twice, and they are by far the best gluten free pancakes we have made/eaten. They are not grainy at all, and the texture, look and taste are extremely close to gluten pancakes. I am ordering this flour again, we love it!

My daughter wirh celiac disease and I tried their chocolate chip cookies made using this flour at the GF Expo and they were "the best chocolate chip cookies I've had in over 3-years since diagnosis!" per my daughter who has maintained a strict medically necessary gluten-free diet since January 1, 2014. She seriously kept going back to the booth for more and the guys working the booth were more than generous letting her enjoy as many as she desired! We made these at home following the simple recipe with normal/simple ingredients (butter, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, & chocolate chips) and they turned out just as delicious. These cookies using this flour are similar to making the famous Nestle Toll House but GF! We tend to bake just what we will consume at that moment and refrigerate the raw batter and bake as needed (many other GF recipes in past tend to fall apart after one day).

I was excited to try a flour without other things in it bc I thought I'd be able to recreate some of my old not GF recipes. I've baked with both the yellow and blue bag... adding in xanthan gum when needed... and everything I make turns out SO DENSE and DRY, like there is way too much flour. I've never had this problem with Pamela's or Bob's Red Mill. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I am newer to GF baking. But, the bag does say cup for cup and whether it's a GF recipe or I'm doing an even exchange in an old recipe everything comes back pretty brick-like. Taste is fine but texture is always a bummer. Not sure how it has such good reviews but people must be successful with this, just not me. I suggest not to buy a large blue and yellow bag right away but try one small bag and see how you like it. Hopefully you're more successful than me!

I never leave review but thought I should for this product because I know the gluten-free community deserves to know! First, I mistakenly used this for pancakes.....not good at all! Haha. I didn't realize I needed the hello bag for that. A few mornings later, I tried the biscuit recipe on the bag...exactly as shown. They were great....heavy, crunchy on the outside and almost doughy on the inside. I spread some grape jam on and voila! I only ate two because I had white a heavy, almost sick stomach afterward. They are rich and thick...just like traditional buttermilk biscuits. I now am purchasing the yellow bag because I sincerely want some pancakes! I will try this blue bag with chocolate chip cookies later too. It seems as though it gives a very moist and chewy product so it should be perfect. Another win for the gluten-free community! Enjoy!
