Your Opinion - Best Bread?

What do you believe is the best gluten-free bread? - either a mix or from scratch. I've tried several myself, but wouldn't consider any of them to be all that. I've given up on buying whatever I can get my hands on and then having to throw it out once it's baked. Let me know what you suggest and I'll try it :)

I use Gluten Free Pantry Baking mix, in a Kusinart bread machine with a gluten free setting, avalible at Williams sonoma and worth the $100. I get the sandwhich bread mix at our local wild oats. I make this about every 2 weeks I let it cool after coming out of the machine, and slice with an electric knief then refrigerate for freshness!

I don't eat the breads anymore, actually grains in general. But my favorite when I was eating it was the Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix. I mixed it up in my Kitchenaid and baked it in the oven. It has a nice crust and the inside was not dry at all.

Pamela's Amazing Wheat-Free Bread Mix - My kids even like it, and my daughter requests the toast at least a couple of times a week for breakfast. I made BLTs with it last week, and it was fantastic.

Premade:

The breads from the Gluten Free Bread Basket - hands down!! You don't even have to toast it to eat it.

So far I have had their mock rye (my favorite), the country sandwich bread and an Italian Herb bread. They are all incredible!! I even used the Italian Herb one the other day with a hamburger. Amazing!

Bake it Yourself:

The submarine sandwich bread in Annalise Robert's book is incredible. I only made it once but definately plan on making it again.

I have tried all the breads above and some more. I like the GLuten Free Pantry for toast, etc. It does go bad if you don't freeze it right away though. Best bread for taking a sandwich to work already made.

I tried Bread by Anna and liked the texture, but didn't like the beany flavor. It too needs to be frozen within 24 hours to be any good.

I also tried the Gluten Free Basket. It was definitely not good to eat without toasting when it arrived at my house. It had been made 2 days before. I toasted some of the "Country" one and it wasn't my favorite flavor. The Cinnamon/raisin was pretty good toasted.

I haven't tried Chebe.

My favorite though for convenience and taste is Kinnikinnick. I love their English Muffins, Pizza crusts, White Sandwich Bread, Brown Bread and chocolate covered donuts. I love making a toasted sandwich out of their breads. I also love the english muffins with eggs.

There is another one I have tried and I can't remember the name of it, but it is Nasty. Oh and I did try Pamela's, but it didn't turn out for me.

Ciabatta recipe from 125 Best Gluten-Free Recipes. And I don't like gluten-free bread.

my own recipe, which is on my site below, is my favourite. everyone, even not celiacs, enjoy it, and it is open to a lot of variety. perhaps i'm biased. B)

Here's another recipe (and you are back to trying all sorts of different things again . . . that's what you get when you ask for opinions from a 10,000 member board!). My cousin says it's much like kinnikinnik's . . . it makes really great pizza crust, too.

True Yeast Bread from Open Original Shared Link

I cool it, slice it, and then keep it in the fridge or freezer in a ziplock. Then I just reheat the number of peices I need in the microwave for 20 - 30 seconds. My daughter went crazy when I made this for her today: BREAD! BREAD! BREAD! SANDWICH! (Can you tell that I've been the bad mom who hasn't made bread for a while?)

I got a lot of suggestions from you all, thanks! I'm looking for a bread that is more puffy than packed. The reason I ask is because I am a franchisee and will be opening my first location in 8weeks. Being a celiac, I would like to have gluten-free bread available to others like me. Once I'm publicly open, I'll let you guys know what I end up going with, and when & where it's available!

Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread mix is puffy. I make it in my Cuisinart Breadmaker on the gluten-free setting. It gets the same loft as I would expect from regular bread and isn't dense.

Mine, too. Especially soft (like regular bread) the first day it's baked .

I started with Bette Hagman's recipes but then made it a more fiber rich and complete protein by changing it a bit. I also like it much better than the bland potato starch/tapioca starch heavy processed breads I've tried. I use 1/3 each corn, garbonzo, and tapioca flour in everything from breads to cakes. and 2 cups of this mix with 2 cups of corn meal for cornbread.

Does anyone have a favorite bread from Bette Hagman's The gluten-free Gourmet Bakes Bread? Mum bought me this book and Zojirushi Supreme bread machine. I'm really looking for a sandwich bread - it seems like the Four Flour Bread may be best?

I'm a fan of the sesame variation of the 4-flour bread, but I stiil haven't tried all of her recipes. What sort of bread did you like in your wheaty days? Light & smooth, or more whole-grainy?

In my wheat eating days I liked dense, seed filled breads - full of fiber, but I want nothing like that now!

I want something like wonder bread! :rolleyes: I think it's cause all the gluten-free breads I've had are pretty dense that my pallet would like something, shall I say, crappy? I'd love to get a spongy bread, layer some bologna and american cheese, a bit of mayo and have it stick to the roof of my mouth.

However in my wheat eating days I would have poo poo'd this...

Weird!

I have to agree with the majority Pamela's bread products have been the best so far. I also bake my own with lots of trial and error. Practice makes perfect? Kinninnki does awesome tapioca hot dog and hamburger buns.

I have a real hard time eating those buns - at 280 calories (I could be off a few here) and 66 grams of carbs it's a diabetics worst nightmare. And they're too big!! I can't even get my mouth around a burger or dog in those buns...are there any that are better?? Less caloric, less carbs and not as huge?? It's the first Kinnikinnic product I've tried and I really wasn't impressed.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
