hello - I haven't posted here in about two years, but thought I should pass on tonight's experience. I had some rice flour lurking around and decided to add, oh, say, a quarter of a cup of it to my standard ABM pizza dough recipe. It never rose, just made a wet mess in the pan. I still am not sure what to do with the rice flour or even remember why I bought it....grrr. val

You use it as a separating agent, for instance when rolling pasta.
Or on your peel for pizza.
You don't use it in the dough, but underneath.
It has no gluten and will not stick.

Sprinkle it inside bannetons for easy dough release. It also makes the worlds lightest tempura batter.
Use it exclusively since I have Celiac Disease - can't have any wheat, barley, oat, rye. It's a challenge to use and mostly has to be used with a stabilizer like Xanthan Gum at 1 tesp. per cup. Doesn't come close to regular flour. Want a challenge! Try making bread with it!
If you use it with a stabilizer, it can make baked goods, like cakes, muffins unbelivably light. Most prefer the ones I make with the rice or combinations flours to wheat.
Also, it makes a great thicking agent 1/2 rice flour 1/2 potato starch for making the slurry.
Also good to coat home made french fries before deep frying.
Goes great with butter cookies for a sandy texture.
For some Chinese cake, rice flour is used with small amount of all purpose flour and baking powder. The result, after steamed but not baked, looks like a muffin.
Or you can replce some bread flour in the recipe using baking soda or podwer. The result is softer crumb.
