The Most Delicious Home-made Gluten Free Bread I've Ever Tasted...

I tried rolls - very basic, just scooped some dough into my hand and rolled it into a ball. My husband loved them! I am not much of a baker, so I am just trying whatever pops into my head. I thought next time I would try rolling it out (might be hard to do?) and cutting out larger sizes to make hamburger buns.

But what he really loved was the grilled cheese sandwiches I made last night - we both agree this tastes better than any white or whole wheat bread sandwich!

I made this bread last night (with Linda's flour mix instructions) and it was delicious. I think it's the best gluten-free bread that I have ever tasted.

I've joined the club! I made the bread tonght. Thank you, Lorka, for the great recipe! I used sorghum instead of garfava, and it turned out very well. It didn't rise quite as much as I expected (either that, or it's just a much heavier loaf than I expected). Still, it was moist and delicious, and my gluten-eating DH says he likes it best of all the loaves I've made so far! (And he really liked Annalise Roberts' subway sandwich bread!)

Thanks again! Maybe we can ask Scott to make it the official "Celiac.com" bread!

Ok, I made the infamous bread by laura, and it was good, but, the recipe I got with my bread machine is just as good, in my and my family's opinion, and it is done in just 1 hour!

I have a Betty Crocker Bake-it-easy Breadmaker.

This is the recipe it gives:

Glutten -Free White Bread

2 cups white rice flour (I use the finest textured I can find)

2/3 cup potato starch flour (some pkgs say just potato starch, that's ok)

1/3 cup tapioca flour (again some pkgs just say tapioca starch, seems to be same)

1/2 cup dry milk

3 tbsps sugar

1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast (ask your grocier or read all the pkgs)

1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp zanthan gum

1 tsp salt

3 eggs (I dump the yolks in the dry ingredients and whip the whites to stiff peaks)

1 1/2 cups hot water (use a candy thermometer to 115* to 125*F)

3 tbsps vegetable oil

1 tsp white vinager (I use cider vinager, seems ok)

Stir dry ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Beat eggs and remaining ingredients in large bowl with wire whisk until blended. Stir dry ingredients into liquid ingredients. Pour batter into bread pan. Use ULTRA FAST 1.5lb cycle.

That's it. You stick the pan into the bread maker and set it to the #5 selection, which is the ultra fast, and it is ready and wonderful in one hour.

Also, Bob's Red Mill is the Celiac's friend. He has a bread mix that is really good. I mix it up and put it into my bread maker on the one hour setting as well. It comes out very nice.

Hope this is all helpful.

I have a question about flax.

Is flax seed meal the same as flax? I bought something awhile ago, it was Bob's Red Mill and came in a white bag. I, of course, poured it into a separate container to put in the refrigerator, and threw away the bag. I think it's flax meal, but I'm not sure. Would regular flax look like seeds?

Flax seed meal is ground up flax vs flax seeds themselves which look like seeds.

Whenever I need flaxmeal, I "grind" my own from the seeds. Put the seeds in a blender (abouth 1/4 cup) and turn on med. to med-high setting and let it go for a minute or two. You may have to dig out the *meal* from under the blade a few times to allow more un-cut seeds to get cut up.

If I have any flaxmeal left over, I put it in the refrigerator, but try to use it up within a week or two.

I keep the seeds in the freezer.

I think I must have the flax seed MEAL. I wish I had kept the bag, but I wanted to keep it in the refrigerator so I put it in a plastic canister. I remember the bag saying that you could use it to substitute for some of the oil in recipes. Now that I'm pretty sure I have the right ingredient, I'll have to give this bread a try ;)

HI,

I just made this recipee for the bread and wooooooooowwwwwwww wow wow wow! I think this one deserves and AMEN! IT's great. Now, I didnt have the flax or potato starch, so I skipped the flax and used corn starch. I also didn't have enough flour mix, so I added some amaranth flour and it's greattttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!

I am down here eating a warm piece of it right now.

One more thing, the rising went good. However, when it cold, it sank. Any ideas why? I seem to have this problem with many bread s that I have tried.

Flax comes in all sorts of forms, normally as a flax seed oil, as a meal, or as the whole seed. If a recipe says to reduce the oil, it is probably referring to the oil form.

Bob's Red Mill products are usually easy to find in a Fred Meyer store or most Rays or Roths and sometimes even in Albertsons or Safeway or IGA or other regular grocery stores, and flax seed meal is in a yellow/gold package, but sometimes it is kept refridgerated, so if it isn't with the other little alternative flour packages, look in the refridgerator section.

Pardon the silly question, however when the recipe says '1 1/4 cups of gluten free flour,' is there a specific gluten free flour that is recommended? And is it 1 1/4 cups of gluten-free flour in addition to the 'flours/starches'listed below the '1 1/4 cups gluten free flour?

It sounds like a great recipe and I am always in the market for a new, tasty gluten-free bread-as well all are!

Thanks!

Mine sank a little bit too and I don't know why either. I've never had it happen with any other bread.

You can use a prepackaged one like Bob's Red Mill. Or you can use a mix of your own such as:

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup sorghum flour

This mix was from a helpful poster and it worked great for me.

Yes the 1-1/4 cups is in addition to the other flours.

A question, If I am going to use the bread for everyday use , can I leave outside or should I put it in the refrigarator or freeze it. I am new to the diet so want to to know how you store this kind of bread?

thanks

I have a bread machine and got all the flours I needed. I got the garfava online. It WAS good but I think something happened because the bread didn't rise as high as I thought. I have a two loaf bread pan. Should I adapt this recipe and add more flour and liquid? As I've read the post it could have been my choice of gluten free flour which was Betty Hagmans Four Flour Blend. Anyone got a guess? Thanks

Good question. I'm wondering myself.

So far I've been packaging 4 slices together in a plastic bag and freezing so that only a small amount need be unfrozen at a time. I don't refrigerate it but put the bag in a plastic tub on the counter. My husband eats two slices a day, so they only stay at room temp for a day or two.

Wondering what others do.

I've been slicing it quite thin and then storing 4-6 slices in a ziploc bag in the fridge--so far, so good. It seems to last several days that way. I try to squeeze as much air as possible out. I was wondering if those seal-a-meal machines might be worthwhile for this?

We cut our loaf in half and store half in the freezer and the other half stays on the counter in a rubbermaid container. It stays soft and moist till it's gone in a couple of days. Then we put take the other half out of the freezer and leave that on the counter as well. Haven't had any trouble so far!

Do you all think it's possible to make this without a mixer? I don't have a stand mixer (yet) and my electric hand mixer probably won't hold up to dough. Can I just use a wooden spoon and then knead it by hand?

I used my hand mixer for just one loaf of bread. It should be able to handle it.

Ok, so I thought I'd see what all the hype is about and try this recipe for myself. Mind you, I've only been eating gluten-free since the middle of December (so I still remember what wheat bread tastes like) and am amazed at how much this bread tastes like regular wheat bread. It only took about 50 minutes to rise to the top of the pan and then got nice and high in the oven...I was afraid it might fall once I took it out and it did just a bit, but not enough to make a difference. The only problem is, I forgot to put in the salt! So it does taste a bit flat...I might try to make it into bread pudding or something and make another loaf tomorrow for sandwiches. All in all though I'm very satisfied with the way it turned out and don't see the need to experiment with any other recipes.

I slice it and freeze it. I just take out what I think I'll need for the next day.

I made this bread a couple of weeks ago and it came out of the oven looking absolutley wonderful! Unfortunately- that loaf fell. I later read that the batter could be too wet, I made it the other day with a little less water and it is perfect. Everyone loved it! The only downside to that is that now I have to make more :lol:

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By emzie · Posted

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (
