People ask me all the time what gluten-free brands are actually worth buying. These are the ones in my pantry, fridge and freezer right now: the products I buy again and again because they taste like the real thing. No sad cardboard bread here. The photo above is a real peek at my counter: these are the staples that are always in my kitchen.
Always double-check labels, since recipes and facilities can change. Most of the products below carry a certified gluten-free seal on the package.

Caputo Gluten-Free Flour
From the famous Naples mill, labeled for pizzas, breads, cookies, cakes and more. This is the gluten-free flour I reach for when I want real Italian-style pizza crust and bread. It’s also my secret for crispy chicken cutlets: thin-sliced chicken breast, seasoned and dredged in Caputo flour and potato starch, then egg, then the flour again, and fried golden on both sides. My celiac son can’t get enough of them and keeps asking for more. Shop it on Amazon.

Yes, the famous biscuits come in a gluten-free version. Just add shredded cheddar, water and butter, and you get 12 warm, garlicky biscuits. Shop it on Amazon. These are celiac-son approved too.
