The xanthan gum mimics gluten's elasticity. Hydrates slowly — let batters rest 10 minutes before baking. Will not develop a chewy bread crumb without added psyllium or eggs.
For cakes: use weight to avoid dense crumb from over-measuring.
For bread: control hydration by weighing flour and liquids together.
For cookies: 10-20g extra flour can reduce spread noticeably.
Baseline reference: 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (1:1) = 156g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 137g-175g per cup (12% band).
Why this happens: flours and grains compact differently based on scoop method, humidity, and grind fineness.
