โญ Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum) (Best Gluten-Free Option)
1 cup per 1 cup bread flourGluten-free blends with xanthan gum mimic gluten's binding properties, allowing the custard to set and the pudding to hold shape. Xanthan gum helps trap moisture and air, preventing crumbliness.
Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour to improve elasticity. Be careful not to overbake, as gluten-free puddings can dry out quickly.
The texture is softer and less chewy than traditional bread flour pudding, with a slightly different crumb and mouthfeel, but it is a suitable option for gluten-intolerant individuals.
