The Best Gf Bread Ever!

I think someone already posted about this, but it deserves a second airing! I just made a loaf of gluten (and dairy) free bread from a mix by Breads From Anna. This bread is amazing. The texture is exactly like real bread, it's chewy and stretchy and light. Tastes fantastic. Next time I think I will replace the olive oil with (DF) butter and maybe substitute salt for the sugar (or just add some extra salt) - but that's my English tastebuds. American wheat bread always tasted too sweet to me anyway.

I feel like a whole new world has opened up! Only downside is, I think my Paleo diet just became extinct! :lol:

Oh yeah, here's the link: Open Original Shared Link

It's not cheap, but god is it worth it!

I have been raving about this bread for a year, I love it! It is better then some gluten breads in my book. I do mine in a bread maching but I keep wanting to try it in a french bread roll so I can then make crostini out of it and use it for dipping in olive oil, garlic and red peppers. Yum.

I am certain I am her best customer! I buy it by the case (the regular mix) and make it into loaves. I slice it with my handy-dandy knife that cuts uniform slices and freeze them in packets of 2 for sammies to take to work. I also make it in English Muffin rounds for rolls.

Anna (with whom I've emailed) said it makes great pizza crusts too, but I've not tried that.

It was the ONE terrific find that took away all my feelings of deprivation at having to follow a gluten-free diet.

I agree, Anna's breads are a gift from heaven. I use the regular bread mix. I am lucky, as I can buy the mix locally and bake two loaves with the one bag of mix. It is much cheaper than buying a loaf of that disgusting gluten-free bread they sell in the freezer in specialty stores! If Anna (who lives in Iowa) were here right now, I would give her a big hug and kiss!!! :D

Dear Luvs2eat:

Can you share Anna's email address with me? I would love to tell her how much she is brightening the lives of Celiacs. Thanks.

glutenrevolution@eathlink.net is her address. Also, she is about to introduce a new gluten-free pie crust very soon. I'm so excited! :rolleyes:

I buy it 2 cases at a time! I do love it, I make loaves and biscuts from it.

Good timing - I just made my first loaf last night. I bought it over 6 months ago but finally hauled out my bread machine. It IS awesome! I was emailing with Anna today, too, because on her website, all of the mixes have potato starch in them, but the one I made last night didn't. She looked into it and the regular one does not have potato starch - the website is in error. Just in case anyone else is nightshade-intolerant like me.

I had the best chicken salad sandwich today, and didn't even have to toast the bread! I hope I can handle the cornstarch and the bean content because I would have to have to give up this bread. Looking at my checking account - can I buy a case right now???

PS on edit - most amazinig was the fact I didn't have to fish out my bread machine's paddle before the second kneading cycle, like I have read to do with so many gluten-free bread recipes... ahhhhh, just pushed a button and it went!

this might be a dumb question -- but can you also make the mix with a mixer (i.e. without the bread machine)? i don't have a bread machine; actually, i don't have the mixer yet either, but i'm hoping Santa will be good to me this year! i need fresh bread. :(

Sure you can, my mom mixes it by hand and bakes it in the oven. I will say the texture of hers is a bit different then mine but the taste is the same. I would think with a mixer it would be more "mixed up" like the cycle in my bread machine (as opposed to my moms hand mixing) and would be more like the consistancy of mine.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response kitty that is helpful to hold in mind. I am also doing a review on lived experiences of coeliac disease so your blog would be incredibly valuable for me to review, please can I have the link to it?

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shining My Light, Yes, celiac is spelled differently in Great Britain.  Yes, please do consider us as part of your support circle.   I had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, too.  I learned Vitamin D acts as a hormone when at levels between 78-100 nmol/L.  Mine was in the single digits.  I had been in declining health for years without answers.  I had developed hormone problems and clinical depression among other symptoms.  I corrected my Vitamin D deficiency with high doses to get my level up quickly.  Yes, it's safe.  Here's some studies done on high dose Vitamin D. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30611908/ My Vitamin D deficiency was just the tip of the deficiency iceberg.  I was deficient in the B vitamins, too.  Celiac Malabsorption affects all the vitamins and minerals, not just one.  Here are some articles about how the B vitamins and even Vitamin D help lower anxiety... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33848753/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156551/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35851507/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35851507/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against.  I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment.  @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also.  I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna dive into those.   I started seeing the functional medicine doctors from fluctuations in my hormones and major anxiety. Recently I realize it’s mostly health anxiety also so this is more challenging to depict real from imaginary thus all the research and the back and forth. I know anxiety to be a common symptom in perimenopause. I’ve fought it my whole life however. Likely due to lots of different trauma but seeing her was my last ditch effort to try something to avoid SSRIs, HRT, etc. She told me not to blame everything on my hormones when there could be an underlying problem, so she ran some tests to see if anything stood out. The TGG tests stood out.  I do find it very interesting now that I think about it that I don’t desire bread, pasta and pizza. Sometimes yes, but mostly no. I guess I didn’t give that much thought. Also didn’t realize that those foods do contain more gluten than the tortillas and cake/baked goods. About 3 months ago I started ordering meal kits to make dinner easier. I went back over the menus that I picked. I have probably had bread and pasta a hand full of times over the last couple months prior to having that blood test. We used to get pizza every Friday and stopped doing that also. I’m all fairness about 2 months leading up to these blood tests I had less gluten containing foods than I thought.    I’ve been praying for wisdom. Thankful to find some counsel from people who I believe have dove harder into this than most doctors have. Thanks for all the advice. It’s appreciated more than you know. 💕

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!
