Bread Makers

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if any of you could recommend a bread maker. I've been looking at one on the Bed, Bath & Beyond website - the Cuisinart Convection Bread Maker. Anyone have that one?

Also, what staples do I need for a good recipe?

Thanks in advance!

hey there!

I got mine a few months ago (same model, looks a little different from Williams Sonoma). Am fairly happy with it even though I would now buy one with two whisks rather then one. The gluten-free dough is fairly sticky so I would assume the mixing works much better with 2 of those. Right now I have to manually go in there with a spatula.

my 2 cents!

Happy baking!

cheers,

Katja

I have the Cuisinart Breadmaker. LOVE IT!!! Just the fact that it has a gluten-free setting is great. I just use it with mixes. My favorite is Pamela's Amazing Wheat-free Bread Mix. It is truly amazing. My husband and kids love it and it's even really good untoasted as PB&J.

I haven't done much experimenting at all with it, so I can't fill you in on the features. Whenever I'm thinking about buying something like this I go to www.epinions.com and www.amazon .com and look at the reviews. So you might want to check that out.

I do scrape down the sides because the paddle is small. But it's not something I mind doing. I even forgot to do that once and it turned out fine. There was a little bit of clumping in the corners, but it didn't effect the bread at all. I just tend to be a little perfectionistic about such things. :rolleyes:

I have the zorushi ( spelled wrong) and I love it. I use the Anna's bread mix, it's our favorite..You should be okay with the model your looking at: I see someone said it had a gluten-free setting. I think the motor has to be strong to mix the dough. Mine has two paddles and makes the typical loaf of bread. It does a great job of mixing.......

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.
