Rice Flour

Definition

Finely ground rice used primarily for dusting proofing baskets (bannetons). Unlike wheat flour, rice flour doesn't absorb moisture or form a paste with the dough, preventing sticking.

Henry's Tips

  • Buy the cheap stuff at Asian grocery stores. You don't need fancy rice flour for dusting.
