Chebe Bread Mix?

I am new to the gluten free diet and am actually in the process of getting my family ready to go gluten free this week. I bought a bread mix called Chebe all purpose bread mix and was wondering if it is supposed to be chewy in the middle? Did I put too much liquid in? Did I knead it too long? Did I not cook it long enough? Are all gluten free breads chewy? Please help me find good alternatives to bread. I am not a big meal planner or chef. I don't bake on a regular basis but if I can find a recipe that is easy to make then I am all for it. Thanks in advance for the info.

I don't know about Chebe mixes but it seems a lot of the gluten free breads are moist, a little to much so. <_<

The following link is to a wonderful gluten free bread recipe. We use it exclusively.

Chebe is really good if you bake it correctly. You have to make the dough really thin and make sure you bake it long enough. I've never made Chebe into an actual loaf of bread, but I wouldn't imagine it would work that way....it works well as really narrow breadsticks. The pizza crust and the foccacia are both really great too. I don't know exactly why it sometimes gets too chewy (except maybe when it's too thick), but it's worth experimenting with it a bit b/c it's really really great if it comes out right.

Chebe does have a very different texture than other gluten-free breads...

Chebe bread can be great but one trick I've learned is after baking, wrap it in a flour sack towel (or something else non-terry cloth) and let it sit in your colander for at least 12 hours so it can breath. Otherwise, the tapioca flour can go gummy and chewy. After a day or so, you can transfer it to a ziploc bag. I keep mine in the microwave so the cat doesn't get any ideas. I

My favorite so far is the link you were already given. I don't each much bread lately, but when I do it's this recipe. VERY easy to make and bake. I'm the only one eating gluten free so I usually eat half the loaf and then make bread crumbs with it after about 2 days. GREAT bread crumbs from it...use them ALL the time also.

I also like the gluten-free Pantry Sandwich bread mentioned. I don't buy that as much, but I really like to bake and cook, so it's just relearning the craft.

GOOD LUCK! :D

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will continue to experiment with the Chebe and also try to bread recipes given here. I do get a bit overwhelmed with new tasks that are different for me, especially cooking and baking, but I need to do this for my health. I really appreciate everyone's input to my question. Thanks again.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
