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!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
