Thanks!

Yes, I think mine is the 6000 (the 2 lb loaf maker) and I am satisified with the results.

You have to help it mix in the beginning as it can leave piles of flour unmixed in the corners of the bread pan.

I have the Breadman Ultimate, I think it's a two pound loaf, also. I haven't tried any scratch recipes lately as my early attempts resulted in doorstops. But it makes a beautiful Manna from Anna loaf.

What I do (slightly different from directions):

mix the warm water, sugar (I use agave nectar), and yeast first, and let it proof. Then I mix the egg, oil, and whatever other ingredients (not the flour mix) and pour that all in the bottom. Then I pour the flour mix on the top, and start it up on the most basic loaf setting (white bread). It comes out great. I did a couple of times open it to help the mixing, but the last time I was occupied and it still did fine.

I use the TR2200C and found it takes experimenting to find the correct way to bake with these machines. When baking the rice bread based recipes try using the rapid rise yeasts from Fleischmann's or Red Star if you find the breads don't rise quite the way you wish with other yeasts including the bottled yeasts. I get very good results w/the rapid rise yeast versus way too many "boat anchor/doorstop" breads when using the other types of yeast.

There is no need to mix the yeast into the water. Start with warm water, mix it into the other liquids and place the liquids at the bottom of the pan, then add the dry ingredients. There are two ways to mix the dry ingredients. One is to place the yeast into them and mix well (I use a 2qt plastic container with lid to throughly shake/mix everything together). Or you can try adding the yeast to the top of the mixture after you've placed the wet and dry ingredients into the pan.

A personal setting I programmed in that works well for a 2lb loaf is 5 min's for knead #1, 8 min's for knead #2 but you MUST help the mixing process. I use a silicon spatula to help the machine mix everything during the 2nd knead so there isn't any unmixed flour sitting on the bottom of the machine. Use the pause button while helping mix the dough, it's easier that way. When the mixing is done you might want to remove the paddle rather than bake the dough w/the paddle still inside.

***Important. No other kneed or rise is needed and is detrimental from what I've seen and do not use the punch down or shape settings, they are not needed***.

Rise can be 60-70 min's for a recipe like this one: Open Original Shared Link free.com/redstar.htm

You'll have to experiment with the rise time as yeast, temp of liquids, etc... will affect this. I always get 100-125% rise from the dough before baking begins. Bake is 65 min's for medium darkness @ 325 degrees as I recall the machine temp is. This one makes very good french toast, slice it a half inch thick.

One way to be prepared for the dough rising too quick and high is to have another personal setting ready on the machine for just baking - no kneading, rising, punch or shaping. Cancel the 1st setting and switch to the 2nd one to immediately start baking. Sometimes I do find the rapid rise yeast gets a bit carried away. I prefer my bread heavier rather than having lots of air pockets. Generally the dough is ready for baking after 60 min's, on occasion 70 min's is required. You'll have to experiment.

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver problems, or severe anemia that require immediate medical attention. That's why doctors typically monitor blood counts and liver enzymes regularly during treatment. A crucial tip: proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can interfere with dapsone's effectiveness, so discuss all medications with your doctor. If you develop fever, unexplained fatigue, yellowing skin/eyes, or a spreading rash while on dapsone, stop taking it and contact your healthcare provider right away. For celiac patients specifically, remember that strict gluten-free eating may eventually reduce or eliminate the need for dapsone to control dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms over time.
