Chebe Bread Mix?


WyattsMomma

Recommended Posts

WyattsMomma Newbie

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.

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated.  This includes gluten-free bread.  You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly.  Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well.  Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings.  Nightshade vegetables (eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers) are excluded.  They contain alkaloids that promote a leaky gut and inflammation.  Dairy and eggs are also eliminated.   I know it sounds really stark, but eating this way really improved my health.  The AIP diet can be low in nutrients, and, with malabsorption, it's important to supplement vitamins and minerals.

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back.  My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time.  But I passed on them.

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.
