HELP!!! I'm wanting to make some gluten-free bread but all the recipes call for tons of different flours/starches!

Does anyone have a good bread recipe that is simple enough for a busy mom to make?

This one's pretty simple and only calls for white rice flour and tapioca flour. It's definitely not as nutritious as using whole grain flours. Open Original Shared Link

What kinds of flours and starches do you have?

I have rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch. That's all I could find at the asian market. I just found out about the Gluten issue of mine so I haven't had time to get to the whole food stores

Then the above recipe would work as far as having the flour/starch you need. Do you have a stand mixer? I can't imagine making it without one.

I LOVE this Indian flatbread I found on you tube, and so does everyone who has tasted it. I use 1 1/4 cups Handva Flour (from Indian Grocery store, a mix of rice, chick pea, pigeon pea and lentil flour) vs. the chick pea and rice flour in the recipe. Cumin seeds are high in iron, and really tasty.

If you freeze your left over flatbread and bake it for 5-7 minutes in a hot oven, they're delicious and better than any of the gluten-free crackers I paid too much for. Microwave reheating doesn't work.

I loved this recipe so much that I tried it with Amarinth flour, shredded zucchini and carrots, dried cranberries and honey as a breakfast pancake. It turned out horrid. Win some/lose some.

If you don't have xanthan gum to hold the flours together, you won't be able to make bread that works. While you're still looking around for the ingredients you need, see if you can find gluten-free bread mixes to get you through. They will be expensive, but designed to work. Baking gluten-free bread is an art that takes time and many failures to get right, so if you really need bread fast, find mixes or buy premade loaves while you experiment with recipes. And don't expect any of it to resemble Wonder bread.

And save your mistakes for bread crumbs or homemade croutons or bread for stuffing . . . buying premade gluten free bread crumbs is expensive, too - might as well get something out of the mishaps ;)

Marilyn, or anyone, do you have that written down? I'm not sure I understood some of the ingredients :( Would love to make it though.

Here's what I've written down:

Indian Flat Bread

1 c. flour

¼ c. rice flour

1 t. salt

1 c. water

Mix well.

1 t.

½ t. cumin seeds

Med. High heat.

Use flat pan.

Ready when water beads.

Spread over surface.

When looks dry, put 1 t. oil.

Turn over with spatula.

Press lightly all around.

Turn over one more time.

Turn again.

Can put ½ c. shredded cheddar cheese and tomato slices. Turn over a few more times.

Serve with yoghurt, chutney, and tomatoes.

Maw Maw's Mayonnaise Rolls

2 c. rice mix flour

1 T. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1. t. xanthan gum

Whisk well to blend.

Add:

2 T. mayonnaise (or more)

1 c. milk

Mix all together.

Spoon into greased muffin or cupcake tin.

Bake 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Makes 12 rolls.

Freeatlast, I have this recipe memorized.

1 cup chick pea powder

1/4 cup rice flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cumin seed (I use a tsp)

Mix together, then add 1 cup water, sometimes more to attain the consistency that Manula shows on the video. Add 1 cup shredded zuccini (skin on). You can add/subtract zucchini for chopped green onions and/or carrots for a change, but I always use at least 3/4 c. shredded zuccini.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick griddle over Medium High heat. Pour 1/3 cup of batter on the griddle, and spread it out with the back of a spoon to make a large round pancake. Let it cook well, until its brown underneath. Drizzle about 1/2 tsp of oil of your choice on the uncooked top, flip it, and cook for 1-2 minutes, flip again for a minute, and once again, sort of smashing it intermittently with a large nonstick spatula in between flipping.

You may need to reduce your heat a little if you have a ceramic top stove. This flatbread is yummy, and "the possibilities are endless", to coin a phrase from a neighbor who isn't gluten-free. I've never had a problem with this recipe. (Cooking or otherwise.)

I can't do dairy or tomatoes but my boyfriend loved the cheese etc.

Manula serves it with chutney (basically a fruity hot sauce) and whipped yogurt. I know you'll love it...hope you can get the flour.

SORRY! I forgot 1-2 diced serrano chili peppers. (I use one, with the seeds, and it's spicy enough.)

I just made pumpkin bread the other day combining a gluten free recipe and my former nongluten free version that I loved and it worked. I know its not a real bread but I was happy to eat something with a texture of bread that was very close to its original that I used to make. I felt like the stars were lined up for me when it worked yesterday. I was so excited. If interested I'll post it.

Sounds good. I'm always interested in trying a new version of pumpkin bread--one of my fav things ;)

Sounds like you have all the ingredients to make this. It's easy and probably my favorite gluten-free bread:

I'm really interested! Please post your recipe...

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
