Anyone ever use this model to bake gluten free?

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.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
