I Made A Huge Mistake!

Last week, I bought a couple of mixes from the Gluten Free pantry because I had heard so many good things about them on here. So I got the sandwich bread mix and the muffin mix. I tried out the bread mix a few days ago, and the whole family LOVED it. Then this morning I tried out the muffin mix and made blueberry muffins w/ struedel on top. They were amazing.

The problem is, I CANT AFFORD THESE MIXES!! And now I want them all the time. I don't want to go back to making things from scratch :( .

So does anyone have a recipe that is equivelant to these mixes????? PLEASE!!! I just cant afford to pay $5 for 1 loaf of bread. But I LOVE the taste.

Well, I haven't tried those, but I might try to approximate the recipe by using logical proportions of the ingredients they have on the package. Also taking note of the color, aroma, etc, while adding things, and attempt to match the original.

What may help is to bake a small amount of the mix like a cookie, for a reference. Then as you tweak your own blend, bake a similar cookie to see how it compares. This might waste some ingredients before you get the blend right, but once it's done you'd have the recipe forever.

I've seen many recipes come up in Google which emulate name brand products, so perhaps someone has already done the work and posted the recipe.

I make up flour mixes in big containers so I don't have to measure out six different kinds of flour each time I bake. That has increased my baking efficiency a lot.

You could try buying them from amazon .com. You have to buy by the case, but the prices are better.

Annalise Roberts' Gluten-Free Baking Classics, IMO, is as good as these recipes. SOme of her recipes are on her website, which I think is www.foodphilosopher.com

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
