Gluten Free French Bread


dionnek

Recommended Posts

dionnek Enthusiast

I am hosting a wine and cheese tasting for our dinner club next month and want to keep our house gluten free, so I am telling everyone to bring a bottle of wine and a cheese to go with it, and I will provide all the crackers, etc. I have some Glutino crackers that are decent, and really like the Blue Diamond Nut thins, so I plan on having an assortment of those, along with some fruit and chocolates, but I know someone will want french bread to go with the soft cheeses. Does anyone know of a good french bread (mix or frozen, etc.) that I can order or buy in the stores? I haven't seen any in our Whole Foods, but we have a lot of health food stores around here so if someone could recommend a good mix I'm sure I could find it (or order online). I have only been gluten-free for 6 months so haven't attempted to make gluten-free bread yet, so I need something that isn't too difficult and that will taste good untoasted (since it will be sitting out all night). Oh yeah, and i don't want people to know it's gluten-free (just don't want to go into all that with 30-45 people!).

Also, if anyone has any other cracker suggestions or chocolate suggestions, I'm all ears (we have a pretty good whole foods that just opened up by us).

I like the GFP French Bread mix, too. :)

that's good to hear - they sell that at my local health food store, so I think I'll buy it this weekend and maybe test it out for Thanksgiving, so I can work out any kinks in my gluten-free baking skills before December :)

That's a good idea :) See if you like it--it's very easy to make. I mix everything up in my KitchenAid, and bake it in a loaf pan in the oven. Smells good, too

I just bought a Kitchenaid - broke down and got it b/c they were on sale. Can't wait to use it! So you just put yours in a regular loaf pan? I didn't know if that would "scrunch" it up too much - I don't have any fancy french bread pans or anything like that :)

Everybody Eats has the most incredible gluten-free french bread. I would dare anyone to know that it is gluten free.

It's a bit pricey but I splurge on it every so often. If you are hosting a party I think that is definately the time to splurge.

We have tried almost all of Mona's products including the french bread and they are great.

I recommend The Gluten Free Pantry's French Bread mix too, also, if you can find Mary's Gone Crackers, those are AWESOME crackers to put out at a party, I shared them at church one day and they were GONE in minutes!

Another good "cracker " is shredded parmesian cheese on a silpat in little fairly thin mounds - bake them at 400 for about 10 min or until they look browned on the edges. Take them out cool and they taste great. :)

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
