Substitutes for Wheat Flour in gelato

Wheat flour is a fine powder milled from wheat grain, roughly 88% dry solids that are predominantly starch (~73%) with about 10% protein (gluten-forming) and only trace free sugar. In gelato it is a functional thickener, not a sweetener or freezing-point modifier. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
