Hi Tany, and welcome to the board.

What flour mix are you using in your bread?

[Tany]

Hiya
Thank u
Using morrisons . It's called doves farm gluten and wheat white bread flour blend

I am assuming youmissed out the "free" part in the title. It says is is made from tapioca, rice and potato starch which is a prettty standard blend. I have never used a gluten free bread make so am not much help. I hope someone who uses one will come on and offer some suggestions.

[Tany]

Yeah I did lol .
What flour do you use ?
I hope so thanks for your reply

Tany, did your recipe come with the bread machine? A lot of the recipes I've used also call for eggs (or an egg replacement).

You really need to use a recipe created especially for gluten-free bread...bread is one of those things that's not simple to convert just using a regular gluteny recipe.

It's a night mare . Have u got recipe by any chance ?

The recipes I have don't use a bread machine, and I've not had very good experiences trying to make a yeast bread with gluten-free ingredients. However, looking at your recipe I would suggest that 6 Tablespoons of oil is about 4 Tablespoons too many (i.e. use only 1 or 2 Tbs instead). And as Sylvia mentioned, a couple of eggs might be a good idea. What you could do is search in the box at the top of the forum page for something like 'bread machine recipe' and I'm sure you'll get several hits. See which one(s) look good.

Edit: You know, I just looked again and it looks like you have 6 ts (teaspoons) of oil, which would be the same as 2 Tablespoons. So never mind my comment about that.

Thanks very much for your help its much appreciated xxx

[sa1937]

Tany, are there any recipes on your package of flour? I've never used a bread machine and am still fiddling around looking for that *perfect* gluten-free bread recipe. It's elusive.

[shadowicewolf]

if i remember right, the only difference between a bread machine and not using one is that it does all the hard work for you (mixing, raising if it has yeast, etc).

Here is a recipe from allrecipes.com:

Gluten-Free White Bread for Bread Machines

Rated:
Submitted By: Aaron Atkinson
Photo By: GardenGal00
Servings: 12
"A basic white bread recipe without the gluten. Easily made in your bread machine! Xanthan gum and the exotic flours are usually easily found in your local health food store."
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room
temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup soy flour
2 cups white rice flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
Directions: 1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. 2. Select the sweet dough cycle. Five minutes into the cycle, check the consistency of the dough. Add additional rice flour or liquid if necessary. 3.
When bread is finished, let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from pan.

In this case I would select the gluten free cycle.
