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

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website. 
    • Scott Adams
      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
    • Jmartes71
      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
