Gluten-Free
Start here
Gluten-free baking doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite baked goods — and it doesn't have to be complicated, either. With the right flour and a little knowledge, you can make excellent gluten-free cake, cookies, pies, and even bread. It’s all about understanding what works and what doesn't. And in some cases, that means nothing more than a simple flour swap to achieve success.
Gluten-free recipes to start with
Buttery Gluten-Free Bread
This is, quite simply, the easiest way to make gluten-free bread. This recipe yields a coarse-textured loaf full of crannies, perfect for toasting and catching melted butter or turning into a great gluten-free sandwich. The key is Gluten-Free Bread Flour, which closely mimics the taste and texture of conventional wheat flour for a soft crumb nearly indistinguishable from wheat-based sandwich breads.

Frequently asked questions
What's the easiest way to make recipes gluten-free?
For any non-yeasted recipe, you can swap in Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour for the all-purpose flour called for in the recipe — that's it. No other changes needed! Read more.
For yeasted recipes, it's best to use an existing recipe that was developed with gluten-free flour, but you can also substitute Gluten-Free Bread Flour for the all-purpose or bread flour called for in the recipe. Read more.
I don't have Measure for Measure flour! Can I convert recipes to gluten-free with Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour?
If, instead of simply swapping in Measure for Measure Flour, you're baking with gluten-free all-purpose flour — either our King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour or another type — you can still make a gluten-free version of a traditional recipe. It just takes a little extra adjustment. Here’s what to do.
How do I know if a flour or another ingredient is gluten-free?
The best way to ensure an ingredient is gluten-free is to look for a label or badge certifying "gluten-free" on the packaging. If the ingredient is certified gluten-free by a reputable organization (such as the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, the organization that certifies King Arthur products), then you should feel confident using these products as part of your gluten-free diet.

Is yeast gluten-free?
Yes, the kind of yeast that’s used for baking bread is gluten-free. Because yeast itself is gluten-free, as long as you use gluten-free flour blends you’ll have a 100% gluten-free loaf. Read more.
