Just to let you know my sister just called me to rename this bread. She calls it "Remember Bread"!

It's the best!

Okay, I have ALL the ingredients.

When I'm finished my free sample of Kinnickkinick Whole Grain bread, I'm going to make this!

Would I be able to split it into 2 1 lb loaves - or does it only make 1 1 lb loaf?

Thanks

:o Holy Cow! This is wonderful bread. THANK YOU!!!! I was diagnosed in 1985. Life with bread has never been this good. My husband and I just finished our first slices....now we're trying to remember what sandwiches are. Hmmmm....what does one put in a sandwich anyway? Bye the way, we made our bread in the new Cuisinart Convection breadmaker with the gluten-free cycle. The crust was amazing (we chose medium crust. For the gluten-free flour we used the Bette Hagman formula for gluten-free Flour Mix. We won't get a chance to worry about storage yet. Thanks again Laurie (Lorka).

Sandra, Could you please tell me the exact recipe that you used for your bread maker? I made mine it was pretty good, but a little heavy. Also, I don't have a gluten free setting. I used white bread setting, and it took 2:40 hours. Did you put in wet first, and then dry? Or did you premix? Any suggestions would be great thanks, Chris

I makes 1 loaf so I would say 1 lb. It fits in a 9 x 5 or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 pan. I think someone has used an 11 x 4 also.

This really does sound amazing.....after making several bookends and wasting ingrediants on a really bad tasting bread this is a releif the question still is making this in a bread machine???....i really enjoy the conveinance working 12hr shifts...i have a really good recipe for gluten-free flour mix and a ( feather light flour mix havent gotten far enough in my reading to find a recipe to use it)..

gluten-free Flour Mix

white or brown rice flour 6 cups

Potato starch 2 cups

Tapioca Flour 1 cup

I have doubled and tripled both recipes for conveincance

Feather Light Flour Mix

White or brown rice flour 3 cups

Tapioca Flour 3 cups

Cornstarch 3 cups

Potato Flour 3 Tlbsp

The gluten-free flour mix can be used to convert old recipes by substituting gluten-free mix for all purpose flour

That was me with the 11 x 4. I figured for small 7 year old hands, the 9 x 5 bread was too "wide" and we'd be making 1/2 sandwiches all the time. This way, we get a nice sized loaf, not too wide and it lasts him a couple of weeks unless he's having toast everyday as well. :)

It doesn't turn out with a rounded top but none of my homemade breads have. They still taste good though.

I learned a trick for nicer bread tops. If you are not afraid of a little cooking spray.... First spread the top with a knife, then we cut 3 diagonal slits to help with even expansion. Then I spray the tops with cooking spray so that the loaves do not dry out during rising. I have found that the top is a bit nicer this way.

Hi!

Larry Mac - we count carbs by reading the labels of all the ingredients we're using (in our case just the carbs obviously) then figuring out the right ratio for each then adding them all together and dividing by the number of slices or rolls the batch makes. Obviously not a very exact science but since my daughter is a diabetic and we have to count carbs to know how much insulin to give her - this actually works. I think we're pretty close because her blood sugar has been fine after eating this bread - and she loves it!

On another note - I was thinking of starting a new thread with fun variations or recipes with Lorka's bread. Seems many peoply have adapted the recipe creatively. For example, our most recent was to remove the garfava flour and sub with almond flour this made for an extraordinarily delicious sweet smelling (although slightly chewy) loaf! Our other ingredients for the 1-1/4 cups of gluten-free were 1/2C. brown rice, 1/2C. Sorghum, 1/4 C. Tapioca.

Some favorite byproducts have been:

Bread crumbs

Croutons

French Toast

Egg in a whole (you know like a fried egg fried into a whole in the bread)

Fondue

Pizza Toast

As well as all the usuals: PB&J, Turkey Club, Fluff'n Nutters, Grilled Cheese, etc.

Anyone else have exceptionally good variations to the original recipe and or fun by products? Do share!

I subbed almond and coconut flour for the garfava and some of the starches. Came out with a nice flavour but a little heavy, and didn't rise that well though it could have been the yeast I used. You subbed almond flour in, how did you find your rise?

Would be easy to make cinnamon raisin bread with this recipe...mmmm!

Larry Mac - I'm happy to figure nutrient counts for you, if you like :) That goes for anyone.

Has anyone tried soy milk in this recipe? Can't do dairy, but I think I would prefer it with a liquid other than water...

Thanks!

the milk in the recipe is dairy-free milk. my first test runs with the bread were with soymilk, but i have made it with almond and coconut milks, too.

Great--can't WAIT to try it!

hathor Contributor

Any way to make this bread yeast-free?

chocolatelover Contributor

Ok, Laurie, I have to jump on the bandwagon here--YUM-O--as Rachel Ray would say! I did have the opposite experience as everyone else--made it in my bread machine and it's very short! Flavor, texture, color, everything else was perfect, it just didn't rise quite as much as some say theirs did. On the other hand, neither did it fall...

I used soy milk and mixed the wet ingredients and then remembered the milk should be warm. I stuck the whole bowl in the microwave for a minute on 50% power just to take the chill off.

Thank you, thank you!!

kbabe1968 Enthusiast

Oh yeah....it was GREAT!!!! I LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for letting me taste bread again!

WOW. I was skeptical....I always am. I LOVED it. My kids were begging to try it. THEY LOVED IT. OH It was wonderful!!!!

I used Sorghum, brown rice & white rice for the flours then all the starches...oh...it was wonderful. THANK YOU.

Did I mention it tasted good???

LOL :D

sarah ruth Newbie

Seriously well done with the bread recipe lorka150! Thank you :D I actually found out about it on a faraway forum for parents in Victoria, BC - and we loved it! I am inspired to bake and create more delicious treats :rolleyes:

This sounds delicous.. do you think it will work in the bread machiene sorry I asked this alreday I wasnt gonna try if its an oven only deal? I just love my machine

Skinnyminny, I'm looking to buy a bread machine. What kind do you have?

Skinnyminny, I'm looking to buy a bread machine. What kind do you have?

I have the Cusinart with the gluten free setting and I love it this recipe is great on here but I use a different one that is quite similar but it makes a taller loaf.. if you have any questions let me know!

kolka Explorer

Skinnyminny, could you please share your recipe? Does it hold together for a sandwhich? I loved Lorka's bread, I liked Bette Hagman's yeast free bread, but they both crumbled. Is it because I do it by hand? Would it hold together if done by machine? I love the flavor and texture of these breads, but I really want a sandwich. I'm still new to gluten-free, so real bread is a very recent memory for me. I just want to know if what I have now is as good as it gets.

glutenfreeinMadisonHeights Newbie
i've got this bread rising in the oven also----can't wait to try it!!

Hi Katy,

Is this bread better than the mix from Breads from Anna? I am very happy with quality of Anna's bread, but I am always open to trying something that may be better.

We haven't had a problem with sandwiches crumbling with this recipe.

I make 3 loaves at a time with a mixer with the following ingredients.

2 3/4 c rice flour

1 c sorghum

I've been using tapioca as I'm out of potato starch but plan on going back to that when I run out of tapioca.

The other changes I've made are (again for the 3 loaves)

6 eggs (instead of 9)

I also use water, not milk

5 Tb sugar (instead of 6)

2 tsp salt (instead of 1 Tb)

I've omitted the vinegar.

Does anyone know what the vinegar does?

GRUMP 1 Contributor

I believe the vinegar is to give you a longer shelf life. Well your bread any way, lol

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.
    • Scott Adams
      It’s true that awareness of celiac disease can vary among physicians, particularly outside of gastroenterology, and many patients end up educating their own providers. Reaching out to someone you trusted for 25 years makes sense if you felt heard and supported. That said, celiac disease management often benefits from a team approach, including a knowledgeable primary care provider and, when needed, a gastroenterologist or dietitian familiar with gluten-related disorders. Advocating for yourself is not unreasonable—it’s part of managing a chronic condition. If your current provider relationship isn’t working, it’s appropriate to seek care where you feel respected and properly supported.
    • Scott Adams
      I understand why that feels concerning. Some Schär products use specially processed wheat starch that has had the gluten removed to meet strict gluten-free standards (under 20 ppm in the U.S. and EU), which is why they can legally and safely be labeled “gluten free” for people with celiac disease. However, wheat must still be listed in the ingredients and allergen statement because it is derived from wheat, even though the gluten protein has been removed. For individuals with a true wheat allergy, these products are not appropriate—but for those with celiac disease, properly tested gluten-free wheat starch is considered safe under current medical guidelines. That said, it’s completely reasonable to prefer products made without wheat starch if that gives you greater confidence, and clearer front-of-package communication could certainly help reduce confusion for shoppers.
