do you bake your own bread?

is it wise to buy gluten free bread from the store?

I'm trying to find something to eat for Breakfast...   What can I do that i know is 100% Gluten free instead of eating any store bought bread ?

Sure, buy bread from the store.  I like Northern Bakehouse.  I have made bread, but it is too hot to bake in the summer.  The store- bought bread freezes well.  I just defrost on the counter a few slices as needed.    Toasted tastes best.  
 

My kid makes cinnamon or peanut butter toast.  She likes rice porridge with honey, cinnamon, cream and butter.  We eat eggs every day.  Scrambled with veggies, bacon and cheese.   Poached, boiled,  fried, the list is endless.  We love banana pancakes : two beaten eggs, 1 smashed banana and cinnamon topped with melted butter.  Yum!  Yogurt with fruit.  Steak.  Eat dinner for breakfast!

wha brand rice porridge ?

[ravenwoodglass]

I baked when first diagnosed since the only bread available was truley awful and still is IMHO. Now there are lots of good choices. I like Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White. They make another but it has oats and I need to avoid those. Grainless Baker makes a baugette (sp?) that is really good for subs or garlic bread. There are alot of other good brands out there now that are safe. 

If you really want to bake my favorite flour is a Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix. It already has leavening in it. They make a variety of mixes and their website has lots of good recipes. I made a peach and blackberry cobbler yesterday for breakfast.

I used to really like Cream of Wheat if I wanted a breakfast porridge and now use Pocono Buckwheat porridge in place of it. Great after a glutening as it is high digestable protein and soothing. They also make a less ground Kasha. Since they are only a few miles from me I have also gotten dry hulls to make buckwheat pillows. I was told years ago that they use dedicated fields to grow the buckwheat so little to no rish of CC. Don't know if that is still the case but I am very sensitive and have never had an issue.

You just make it with any rice (Not instant) and water.  It is called Congee.  
 

Bob’s Red Mill actually makes a porridge.  The rice has been ground up a bit for faster cooking (like quick oats).    I make my rice porridge in my instant pot which I can stick outside on my patio.    It is faster and I do not need to watch it cook on the stove which heats up my kitchen.   (Not good in hot California.). You can make it savory or sweet.  There are lots of recipes on the internet.  We like it sweet.  
 

You can also use cooked rice which is faster.  
 

 

As a celiac, a rice cooker or even an instant pot which can cook so many other things, is invaluable.  Cooking rice on a stove requires supervision or you might get a burnt pot.  Anything cooking on the stove should be watched.  It is why I have a desk in my kitchen.  This is my home office!

where do you buy congee rice

[cyclinglady]

Congee is the Asian name for rice porridge.  You just use any old rice, just not that instant rice or par-boiled rice (Uncle Ben’s).  White is preferred over brown which even takes longer to cook.    I used Japanese short grain or Jasmine rice just because I like it and the short grain rice is grown here in California.  
 

if you make more than you can eat, it heats up well and keeps for a few days,
