I'd like to give gluten-free breadmaking a try. Any recommendations on a breadmaker?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response! One of my colleagues has a breadman pro....and also loves it. Also appreciate the info on the frozen stuff. I'll stay away from it.

Do you HAVE to use a bread machine to get a decent loaf of bread? Do you have to buy gluten free pantry's mix? Isn't there a way we can get the gluten free pantry's recipe? I'll break down and buy a bread machine if I have to, but why can't it be done in the oven with a loaf pan?

I have a Zojirushi bread machine and just adore it. They're a bit pricier, but worth it to me. I can get a decent loaf of bread (usually use gluten-free pantry or Manna from Anna, but have done "homemade"). It's just so much easier to make bread this way. No messing with mixing bowls, big heavy mixers, etc. Maybe I'm just lazy, but if it weren't for my bread machine, I don't think I would ever eat bread. I just don't have the time to do it any other way.

Both Pamela's and Gluten-Free Pantry's bread mixes have instructions for bread machine and a regular oven. I just use the mix and bake in a loaf pan. My first loaf started to brown too much and I took it out early - big mistake. After that I started putting a tent of foil over the bread with about 10 minutes to go and haven't had a problem.

I also have a Zo. I've had it for over 2 years, and use it several times per week (I bake for my Mom, also). It is a fantastic, reliable machine. I use various gluten-free flours, but not packaged mixes (I do think it is less expensive to use the individual flours). I have used the FANTASTIC bread recipe from Lorka Open Original Shared Link, and it turns out beautifully.

It is certainly possible to make bread with a mixer, and bake it in the oven. But I like the convenience of the bread maker - I don't have to pay attention to when it's finished rising, when to preheat the oven, etc. I just put in the ingredients, and come back an hour and a half later when it beeps. (I'm not lazy, just busy... <_< )

Here! Here! I agree....not lazy, just busy. I recently picked up one of the books by Bette Hagman, The Gluten-free Gourmet. It has several recipes I'd like to try.

Thanks for the recommendations girls!

I heard that the gluten-free bread tastes better without using a bread machine.

I also have the Zo, and just used it for the 1st time last week. I made the Manna from Anna bread. It was so delicious!! I've been having grilled cheese and tomato soup all week long. In fact I just finished another grilled cheese. You could also just eat this bread without toasting if you wanted to make a sandwich like a all those gluten eating people ;)

I was slightly intimidated to use it at first (ok awhile, I got it about 2 months ago), but DH finally convinced me to give it a try. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use and how great the bread was. I've never tried any other bread machine so I have no comparison, but I would definately reccomend this one (and the Manna Breads). You only need the bread machine for the regular sandwich breads but I made her Pumpkin and Banana breads for Thanksgiving this past year and they were sooooooo delicious! Everyone loved them.

Heck with that, I just made a batch of Bread form Anna in my bread machine (Oster Express Bake) and I will happily admit to being lazy :)

Besides the bread always seems to come out better from the bread maker....

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
