Hi there,

I too got a bread machine for Christmas, the Breadman TR2500BC (Ultimate Plus) Which has a gluten free cycle on it.

I made a loaf of Pamela's Wheat Free bread today, (just to get the feel of the machine before I got too fancy with all those flours and mixing.)

I set it for gluten free, The whole deal took 1:19 minutes. And my bread really isn't cooked all the way through.

I have thrown i back into bake mode to cook it longer but I really don't know what I will end up with. In the future, how do I determine the time I need to cook it for in the breadman for Pamela's mixes, I also bought the Gluten-Free Pantry one just to try that one out at a later time...

Any tips from Breadman experts out there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cindy

Well, I guess I can just post a response to my own question. :P

I emailed Pamelas and they responded very quickly. I just got around to trying another batch of the wheat free bread and at the suggestion of Pamelas used the -- White Bread Setting, Medium, and Rapid setting. They said since this is an 'old world' style bread the gluten setting on my Breadman wouldn't work right.

Today's loaf came out almost perfect. It still looked like it needed more time, so I put it on bake for an additional 20 minutes and that did the trick.

Now, how do I stop myself from eating the whole loaf in one sitting? I never ate bread like this prior to gluten free.. Yikes:)

I want to try my own bread making without the mixes but it all seems very confusing with all the different 'flours' out there, and every store doesn't seem to carry every ingredient so it doesn't seem to be a one stop shopping experience...

Need to tackle that next --

I haven't had much luck gluten-free with my breadman--seems like most mixes are for 2 lb loaves, and they spill over in my breadman. They are so expensive, I hate to measure 1/4 of it out and make a 1 1/2 lb loaf, so I gave up and I make Annalise Roberts' subway sandwich bread, which is delicious, but you are right, it is not a one-stop shopping experience (unless you want to grind your own millet in a coffee grinder--in that case, you can get everything at the Asian grocery store).

At any rate, I just used the regular medium setting on my breadman, and the part that didn't run over was perfectly baked and delicious.

Hi, I just got that same bread machine, and I have a question... will yours allow you to select 2lbs for the gluten-free setting? mine won't, and that doesn't make any sense because in the booklet it comes with the chart shows that it is capable of doing 2lb settings in the gluten-free cycle. It will switch to 2lb or 1.5lb on some of the other settings, but not the gluten-free. anyone else have this problem? and also, I tried the cinnamon raisin bread recipe they give using a gluten-free pantry bread mix and it came out half-cooked in the middle. I just scooped it out and used the rest, but it still grosses me out every time I force myself to have a piece of it. thanks for the tips on baking it... I'll try those next time!

Hi there,

I guess not, now that I look at it. I assumed that when I initially chose the "loaf size" button and it said 2lb that I was good to go. When I scroll down to the gluten-free setting I now see what you are saying ... that it doesn't show size. Hmmm

When I had a loaf that wasn't cooked completely, I set it to 'bake' and left it on for another 1/2 hour or so.. maybe you can try that next time.

So far I have been sticking with Pamelas Wheat Free mix.

I tried Bobs and it was gross tasting.. (sorry Bob) All I have to say is if that was my first experience with my Breadman, I would be out of business now :) Plus Bobs was overflowing, whereas, Pamela's didn't do that.

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
