Why measuring rice flour by cup goes wrong
Rice flour is denser than wheat flour because the particles are heavier and pack closer together: a cup weighs roughly 158 grams. White rice flour and brown rice flour are both common in gluten-free baking, with brown being slightly heavier per cup and more nutritionally complete.
Practical tips for working with rice flour
Outside of dedicated gluten-free recipes, rice flour's best home use is dusting a banneton or proofing basket for sourdough. Unlike wheat flour, it doesn't absorb the dough's moisture, so the loaf releases cleanly with a crisp, lightly floured crust pattern. Keep a small jar of it next to your sourdough starter even if you never bake anything gluten-free.
Note from this ingredient's record: Denser than wheat flour and gritty unless very finely milled. Used in gluten-free blends and for dusting banneton baskets because it does not absorb dough moisture.
