Gluten Free prices

In order to compare the cost of various gluten free flours to find out which one is best suited to baking bread on a regular basis, here are many of the prices quoted online on BobsRedMill.com

I did not add coconut flour to the list, because in coconut flour recipes you are using a small amount and bulking up with eggs. It is a much different cost factor.

I didn't include bean flours, because my approach from this point onward is to avoid the beans. Personally, I don't digest them well. Secondly, I want to avoid having to soak/ferment my doughs. Using bean flour to me would mean soaking the dough.

Rice flours seem the all-around best way to go since they don't need to be soaked for digestibility, and they are inexpensive. Other things can be added to rice recipes to give texture and taste: seeds, ground or whole, other grains like millet and gluten-free corn, maybe Masa, maybe gluten free oats, or perhaps the Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Gluten Free Hot Cereal. And, you're usually going to be rounding out your gluten-free recipe with other starches/flours.
