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.

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.

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
