Summary The impact of associated viscous dietary fibres (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose semi‐firm – SFE‐ and weak – NE‐gel forming, and barley ß‐glucan, BBG ) incorporated at different amounts (1.6–7.5%, flour basis) into gluten‐free rice‐based dough formulations on the breadmaking performance and staling behaviour of hydrated (70–110%, flour basis) fibre‐flour composite blends has been investigated. Single BBG addition fails to mimic gluten visco‐elasticity properly, but simultaneous incorporation of either SFE or NE contributes to bread improvement in terms of bigger volume and smoother crumb. 3.3 g of BBG (70% purity) and 104 mL of water addition to 100 g rice flour provided sensorially accepted breads (7.6/10) with a theoretical ß‐glucan content of 1.24 g per 100 g GF bread that would allow a daily ß‐glucan intake of 3 g provided a bread consumption of 240 g day −1 . Complementary tests should be carried out to know the amount and molecular weight of ß‐glucan in the final bread before assuring the nutritional benefit of this addition.
