1.bread Machines 2.mixers 3. Bun Pans?

Hi,

I used to be on this list when I first discovered our family "celiac" problem, that was in 2000. I have baked bread in my AMBIH70 machine for years now. However, my Bob's Red Mill bread mix seems to rise too high and falls apart if you use it for a sandwich. With a senior son in high school who has to eat gluten free "bread" is a big deal here now. Last year we muddled through with mom's falling apart bread, this year I am relooking at everything and would love your advise. Our son began asking for buns. I bought the french buns by Gillians that are frozen from Whole Foods and he says they are ok, but...very dry. He can't have the frozen gluten free breads from Wh Foods, because he is allergic to dairy and they have milk in them. I made hamburger buns on Saturday and he said Mom, this is it, just don't make them so tall. I put my bread machine away and am now reverting back to mixing and baking. Does anyone have a bread pan to suggest for me? :D

Mixing....I have an old Sunbeam stand mixer that "eats" my gluten free dough as it moves up the beaters into the motor every time! I did a little research yesterday to find that KitchenAids don't do that so ordered one with a "big" bowl to mix several loaves at a time. Our daughter has a zoruji (sp?) bread machine so I can use that anytime I want. However, I am wondering if there is also a cheaper one that I might get that actually has a gluten free setting so that "if" I can find a good scratch recipe (or even mix) again (used to have one) that will actually hold together for an 18 year old boy's school lunches, I can have one that is mine. Since I just ordered the mixer I don't want to do a bread machine too. Any suggestions? :)

And, one more question: I want to make homemade hamburger and hot dog buns. We have already tried the frozen kind, but he says "mom, they just aren't the same". I find pans for them on the internet, but they are aluminum. We have alzheimers in our family and we stay away from it. Does anyone know of any stainless steel ones? Or has anyone actually used the english muffin rings with success? They are only about 3/4" tall and I was wondering if the batter spilled over the edges? :rolleyes:

I would appreciate any advice you have for my

1. Bread Pan?

2. Recipe?

3. Bread Machine.

4. Hamburger/hot dog bun pans "not" aluminum?

5. Muffin Ring Experience?

Its good to be back with others that understand! Thanks, Pilgrim

Enjoy Life makes a good sandwich bread if you want to buy it.

I make the bread from Annalise Roberts cookbook and it does fall apart pretty easy but it is very good.

I have the Bosch Universal system and use the bread hooks for mixing the bread batter.

I have tried several things to form hamburger buns. Recently I have hit on something that really worked well...

At Williams-Sonoma I found some mini Springform pans. (Reasonably priced about $5 each) They are about the size of large store-bought hamburger buns. I've made buns with them a couple of times now with Chebe mixes. I have left the base in the bottom of the pan and have removed the base and cooked directly on the baking sheet using the ring just for the shape. These mini springform pans work great for hamburger buns either way!

I look forward to hearing ideas for hotdogs buns, because I haven't solved that one yet.

I use the pans from Chicago Cutery, hot dog & hambuger pans. I love the bread mix from Anna's. You can find it & info at "gluten Evolution" her site. I have made dozens of loaves of bread & buns with her mix. Love that girl!!!

welcome back

Also thanks for the idea of using the mini springform pans. good idea.

:) Hi --I hope these ideas help-

For a good bun substitute that is bought ready-made, I use the English muffins by George-they are frozen. I split them, smoosh them down a little and toast them and they are really good for a burger or sandwich.

For bun pans, we had a thread about that-I don't know what to do to link it, but it is on page 31 (of this baking and cooking topic) There are a couple of great ideas on there. Also, for pans try Open Original Shared Link -that was recommended not too long ago. Good luck!

The King Arthur Flour catalog has lots of good quality steel pans for things like hamburger and hot dog buns. It's torture to read that catalog because of all the goodies we can't have, but I love it anyway - it's like celiac porn :lol: . I'm sure they have a website.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
