I like Annalise Robert's cookbook "Gluten Free Baking Classics" for baking from scratch. Her stuff does have dairy and eggs, most of which is easy enough to get around if you need.

For mixes alot of people seem to like Pamela's I think. There are other good mixes out there people have mentioned and I'm sure they will chime in.

A couple easy mixes that are very good--

The Gluten Free Pantry French Bread and Pizza Mix

The Gluten Free Pantry Sandwich Bread

Both of them, I just mix up in my stand mixer and bake in a loaf pan in the oven. :)

Hey! I just made a rock today as well.

Unfortunately, it was from the aforementioned Annalise Roberts cookbook. It is the second time I've made this rock and I think the last. I will try another a different day.

I tried the Submarine bread. I will process it for breadcrumbs. How bad can they be?

I've tried Annalise's chocolate cake (cupcakes) and they looked awful so I had to resort to a mix for the birthday, but we mixed the ugly cupcakes with ice cream and they were delish! Apple crisp is good too.

I haven't tried the Submarine bread. I usually make the sandwich bread. I've been buying it lately.

Haven't made the cakes/cupcakes either. I have made some muffins that tasted pretty good though.

This is the very first I ever heard anything bad about Annalise' cookbook!I think maybe you should e-mail her & ask about what could be wrong. I have spoken to her several times by phone & she is very nice & helpful. I haven't had a chance to try the bread recipes as yet but I make the vanilla cupcakes all the time. I did make the gingerbread recipe which was moist but I would add more spice as I like spicey gingerbread...

You can't go wrong with Anna's Mixes!!!!!

Try this recipe . . . it always turns out very well for me, and both smells and tastes like "real" bread.

True Yeast Bread/Pizza Crust - Adapted from Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet

3 C. gluten-free flour mix

1/4 c. sugar

3 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum

1 1/2 tsp. Salt

1 3/4 c. lukewarm water

1/4 c. oil

1 tsp. Rice vinegar

3 eggs

1 1/2 Tbs. yeast

Mix flour mix, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour yeast on top, but don't mix it in. Combine warm water, oil, and vinegar. Pour liquids on top of yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes. Mix on low until blended. Add the eggs. Turn mixer on high for 5 minutes. Turn oven to 375 degrees.

For Bread: Spray pans (2 loaf pans or 12 - 14 English muffin rings) well with Pam. Spoon into pans (or English Muffin rings), and let rise on oven as it heats (about 20 minutes). Bake loaf pans for 35 minutes minutes. Bake muffin rings about 20 minutes.

For Pizza: Spray 2 13x18 jelly roll pans with Pam. Place half of the dough on each pan. Spray the top of the dough with Pam, and press the dough flat in the pan. Let raise 10-20 minutes. Bake about 10 minutes (til top is golden brown). Remove from oven. Top with sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted - about 15 minutes. (For thicker crusts, use smaller pans.)

The Gluten Free Flour Mix is a creation of Bette Hagman's. It is:

6 c. rice flour

2 c. potato starch

1 c. tapioca starch

I mix up a big batch and then just use it as I need it.

Good luck!

By the way, you can also use gluten free pancakes or waffles for sandwiches, in a pinch. And pancakes might be easier to make, if you've never really done much with yeast before. Here's a really good pancake recipe, in case you need one: Open Original Shared Link.

It's possible that I overfilled the cupcakes, but I usually put it two thirds fill as with other recipes. They sank in the middle and looked awful. They tasted great though, I just didn't feel like listening to kids make wisecracks about them. You know how kids can be. They were all eating gluten-free cupcakes at the birthday party and in case one of them noticed a bit different taste I didn't want them commenting on the appearance as well and upsetting Ty. I will make them again and not fill the cupcake liners so much.

I'm dissappointed about the bread though since there was a thread a few months ago about how fabulous it was. I checked the temperature of the water, I used regular active dry yeast, not quick rise and had preheated the oven to 180F and turned it off right away as soon as it reached the temperature so I'd have someplace warmish to let it rise. It barely rose at all. I divided it in half and made two smaller loaves on a perforated french bread pan. I haven't seen Anna's mixes here (Canada) but I will probably try Pamela's Amazing wheat free bread. They have that at the health food store.

The apple crisp is fabulous but my husband said, "Whattaya mean there's no brown sugar in it?" and promptly put some on. Apples demand cinnamon and brown sugar he says. I think it's great with granulated white sugar. I had good success with the Angel food cake, too.

I just wanted to add... if you bread still tastes fine but it ROCK hard don't toss it out! Stick it in a food processor and pulverize it! I have made several rock breads and turned them into GREAT gluten-free bread crumbs breading chicken, meatloaf, and meatballs :) Then I don't feel so bad about all that $$ going ini the trash :)

You can toast the breadcrumbs too. I found this technique lately and it's been working GREAT. Put some butter in a pan with your breadcrumbs. Add some seasonings and salt and pepper. Toast over low heat, stirring often, until golden brown and delicious.

As far as bread, my favorite is Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix. We go through at least two loaves of it a week here.

A common mistake with bread baking is not using hot enough water (or other liquids) to activate the yeast. Recipes usually say "warm water". But yeast needs water that is between 110-120 degrees F or it doesn't work. To my touch, that's actually "hot water". It's worth it to pull out the kitchen thermometer to check. I measured the water that I felt was warm enough, even very warm, and it was only 92 degrees. Not even close enough to work very well.

I tried to bake regular bread several times when I was younger and it always turned out like a rock. Once my dad told me that my water probably wasn't hot enough, things started turning out.

I was just thinking you could use the brick bread for a doorstop maybe even painting a pic on it!!!! It could be the yeast was bad from the start . That happened to me years ago. I was thinking I can't seem to work for yeast doughs,I check the temp every time now. I'm still not a good bread maker but It's gettin' better..Again I think you should check-in with Annalise..she is so helpful.....

I too fill by cupcake liners to 2/3 , never a problem

If you go to " gluten evolution" (anna's mix) it will tell you where you may find it at. I'm not sure for Canada. I do know that she ships to Australia .....

Watch it you! Someone may sneak over late one night to liberate your garden gnomes and leave nasty gluten-free bread rocks in your garden. :ph34r:

Nantzie, I remember you saying that in another post so I double checked the temp and it was 115F. Maybe I'll try her sandwich bread and if it's a dud I'll give up. I have more breadcrumbs than I can use. I'll have to start cubing it and cooking a lot more turkeys. :lol:

Mamaw, thanks for the tip about Gluten Evolution. I have a pkg of Pamela's, so I'll try that after my next scratch disaster.

Now, I'm off to look up NancyM's address. I wonder how far a drive it is? :P

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
