The Best Gf Bread Ever!

[cornbread]

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!

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!!!

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!

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.
