I made my first batch of gluten-free bread last night and it was...ok. Does anyone have a good brad recipe for a bread machine or a recommendation on a bread mix? I used Bob's Red Mill. Thanks.

Open Original Shared Link That is my own recipe (and my own page on recipezaar). Everyone who has tried it has had it turn out. I highly recommend - tastes real.

If you do a search on this forum for bread mixes or bread recipes you'll find a lot of great suggestions. Two of the more popular mixes seem to be Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread mix (my personal favorite), and Manna from Anna (I think that's the name of the one I keep hearing others say is good) which I haven't tried. Gluten Free Pantry bread mix is also very popular, and I have tried that one.

You'll probably want to search the forums and then try a few mixes/recipes to find the one(s) that will become your personal favorites.

Laurie, I'm very excited about trying your recipe but I have a couple of questions:

1. What gluten free flour do you use (just any old one, or do you use a certain blend)

2. Is the water / milk supposed to be warm? (I've never made a bread where the yeast

wasn't mixed with the warm liquid to proof first)

I guess that's it! Please let me know!!!

Hi Mamatide,

I'm allergic to rice and buckwheat myself, so when I make it for me, I either use an amaranth (mostly) mix with a little bit of garfava and quinoa, or some of Bob's All Purpose. I don't really measure... I just measure the correct amount total, and mix them all together. When I make it for others, sometimes I throw in some brown rice flour or buckwheat because they are both a little.. ahem.. cheaper. :)

The water/milk I do at room temperature, a little warm. However, I posted that recipe without writing that (thanks for the info!) and others have emailed me about it with success, so I wonder if it works either way? I would do the yeast as per normal though!

Have fun!

I'm new to gluten-free baking, too. I've tried to make several breads, but the only one that is very good is Bette Hagman's French bread. The others just are not that good. From reading everyone's posts, it seems that you really need to add amaranth or teff or one of the more exotic flours to get a quality loaf of bread. Is that the only way to get a really good loaf of bread? You stated that you don't measure. How much amaranth (by percentage) flour do you put in a standard gluten-free bread recipe?

I use higher end grains like teff and amaranth because they are healthier, and in my opinion, taste better. I am also allergic to rice.

I love the amaranth taste, so generally, I use 1/2 amaranth, then split the other half among two others.

Well, I just took the bread from the oven and it smells wonderful! I used an all-purpose mix I had here (rice,corn mostly) and since I don't have garfava I added sorghum... We'll see how it tastes. I think the AP flour I had has some Xantham gum in it - which might explain why the batter was so thick.

Is it supposed to be quite thick? Your instructions say to "pour" it - no chance but I did spread it out and it did rise and cook in the required times.

I'll let you know in the morning how it turned out...

Thanks!

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
