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:

      Yes, the development of additional food intolerances is a common spinoff of celiac disease. To ensure valid testing after beginning a "gluten challenge" you would need to be consuming at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Many cannot follow through with this regimen, however, as their intolerance...

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too.  I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's.  So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/   Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and Vitamin C.  This study found a higher rate of thiamine and Vitamin C deficiencies in people with Hashimoto's.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37278003/   Try cutting back on the amount of iodine in your diet.  Iodine, even in small amounts, can stimulate the thyroid which in turn stimulates the immune system which increases antibody production.   Dairy and eggs are high in iodine.  Switch from iodized salt to Pink Himalayan salt.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9703374/   Supplement with Selenium, a mineral that helps the thyroid function and calms the immune response in the thyroid.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37033262/ Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Rejoicephd, Would you consider adding a B Complex to your supplements?   I was taking a multivitamin and still became deficient.  There's a question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive system.   I found taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, very beneficial in my recovery.   Some B Complex supplements use Thiamine Mononitrate which is not well absorbed nor utilized by the body.  Thiamine Hydrochloride is better.  Benfotiamine is easily absorbed.  If not needed, the B vitamins are easily excreted. High B12 out of the blue could be masking a lack of other vitamins that work with B12, like Folate B 9, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1. Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins.  B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that digest protein, fats, and carbohydrates.   Do keep in mind that most gluten free processed facsimile foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like their gluten containing counterparts.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more Thiamine is needed to process them into energy instead of storing them as fat.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      @kopiq,  Your case is not hopeless.  Doctors are not required to learn much about nutrition.  Celiac Disease causes damage to the lining of the small intestines resulting in malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  The eight essential B vitamins  and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from what we eat.  If we're not absorbing sufficient amounts from our food, then supplementing with vitamins and minerals help boost our ability to absorb them.  The B vitamins are safe and water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed or not absorbed.  Essential minerals are important, too.  Magnesium and Thiamine make life sustaining enzymes together.   Blood tests for the B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  By the time a deficiency shows up in the blood, you've been deficient for a few years. The best way to tell is to try taking a  B Complex and looking for health improvements. Taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, helped me immensely.  I also took Vitamin D and Magnesium Glycinate and others. Did your doctor offer any treatment to correct your critically low Vitamin D level?   Mine was lower than yours.  My doctor prescribed the less bioavailable form D2.  Our bodies utilize the D3 form better.  I bought over the counter Vitamin D3 supplements (1000 IU) and took several with each meal.  Taking high doses of Vitamin D to correct a deficiency is safe and very effective at improving health.  I started feeling better quickly.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and lower inflammation, as well as makes hormones. Laying out in the sun cannot correct a Vitamin D deficiency unless you're below the 33rd parallel (on a tropical island with abundant exposed skin for several months).  Ultraviolet rays from the sun destroy the thiamine in the body.  That feeling of lethargy is because the sun exposure broke down thiamine into unusable pieces.  Thiamine and the B vitamins make ATP, the energy currency the body requires to function, to make digestive enzymes, to regulate body temperature, to think, to heal itself.  We need more Thiamine when we're outdoors in hot weather, working or exercising.  Thiamine deficiency doesn't cause heat stroke, but thiamine deficiency can make heat stroke symptoms worse.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically ill or injured or undergoing medical procedures.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or traumatized.  Anxiety and depression are very early symptoms of thiamine and other nutritional deficiencies.   Rashes can be caused by deficiencies in Niacin B3, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C.  Some rashes can become worse with exposure to sunlight.   The B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that will help you digest fat and proteins better.  Meats are an excellent source of B vitamins.  Sweet potato and plantain are high in carbohydrates.  The more carbohydrates one eats, there is a greater metabolic need for thiamine to turn them into energy, ATP. Can your doctor refer you to a dietician or nutritionist?
