Gluten free flour mix

After a search on the web for a gluten free bread flour and many trial and errors this is what I use to sub recipes that call for regular bread flour 

 

2 cups garfava or garbanzo-bean flour
1 cup sorghum flour
2 ¼ cups tapioca flour
2 ¼ cups arrowroot flour (starch)
1 cup rice flour
1 tablespoon potato starch
2 tablespoons potato flour
2 tablespoons xanthan gum 
2 packages gelatin (unflavored) 
¼ cup sugar 
1 ½ teaspoon salt

You can use corn starch in place of arrowroot

Make sure you store this in an air right container
