Gluten Free Vegan Bread Machine Success?

So, I'd like to make bread in my partner's Toastmaster bread machine and I'm feeling really overwhelmed. I am vegan and wondering if anyone has had success substituting for eggs while using Bob's Red Mill Wonderful Bread Mix. It says to follow manufacturer's instructions for substituting eggs, but there are no non-egg substitutes in the manual, just carton eggs substituted for fresh. If it was whole eggs, I'd just try using ground chia or flax seeds. But it wants a whole egg plus 3/4 cup of egg whites, and I have no idea how much that would be. If anyone else has had success with substituting using this mix, I'd love to piggyback off that! :)

 

Also, does anyone know what size loaf this mix makes? It's not on the package. (I'll call them if I have to, but figured I'd ask with my other questions here first.)

 

Lastly, does this really cook on the regular and not gluten free setting?

 

Yes, I've searched the forums, but not found these specific answers. Help, please.

Well, I figured out the loaf size anyway. If it had been written any bigger it would have bitten me. Still no idea about the eggs though (and dubious about the cycle).

Here's a link showing "cups" vs. eggs:

But, 1 egg, plus 1/2 cup egg whites is a lot.  I'd just just whole eggs or an egg replacer (for vegan or allergies).  Not sure about the bread maichine.  It does a lot of kneading and gluten free bread doesn't require a lot of kneading.  It bakes more like t a quick bread (e.g. banana bread).  It might be easier just to hand mix it.

I am not sure about the eggs, but I have a couple of gluten free bread recipes that cook on the regular cycle, instead of the gluten free.  I think I would go by whatever the manufacturer said on the box.

Thanks, that's good to know.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
