BREAD MAGIC RICE FLOUR Silky texture, gluten-free. Rice noodles are also made from rice flour, which is a common component of Chinese dishes. It is usually mixed with other flours for baking. Rice flour can be used well for powdery, crumbly pasta, but it can also be used to make dumplings, pancakes, and cream soup. It is also excellent for sweet pasta, and sauces can also be thickened with it. The advantage of rice flour is that no eggs are needed during baking, so rice flour cakes can be eaten by people with egg allergies or high cholesterol levels.
