Thanks! That's a great collection. How does Bette Hagman's French Bread compare to the real thing? I've been wanting to experiment to find a good substitute.

I've only made the french bread once, and it was a bit tricky (the dough is very sticky and hard to handle), but we liked it. My gluten eating family thought it was great.

Thanks for the collection -- I can't wait to try the jelly roll recipe!

I had great success recently using the gluten-free Pantry French Bread mix and a french bread pan. I didn't realize the french bread pan would make such a difference in the crust! It was crunchy-hard and made great bruschetta. I've made the same mix in a regular pan and it just turned out like regular bread. But the only place I found the french bread pan was Williams Sonoma.

Anyone know where you can find hot dog shaped mini pans?

I didn't even know they made french bread pans. That would certianly make things easier, especially since this particular dough is so sticky. I've heard the gluten-free Pantry one is good, but at $5.75/box, I haven't yet tried it.

Don't know about the hot dog pans, but there is a thread somewhere here about someone just making hot dog rolls.

Thanks for sharing all of those. This weekend im going out of town to get all of the different flours, they are just too expensive here. I cant wait to start baking. I know once school is out, my ss and I can experiment more.

Thanks for all the great recipes! Some of them look really yummy!

I found these little dishes the other day and I was wondering if they would work for hot dog buns. Open Original Shared Link . I have used a muffin top pan for hamburger buns, but I was thinking about getting some little round dishes like these for hamburger buns.

The only place I've found the pan is Williams Sonoma and I spray it with a non-stick spray even though it's a non-stick pan. gluten-free dough is too sticky to handle otherwise. Open Original Shared Link

A tip I picked up when Beth Hillson spoke at our local Celiac group was to make a "glove" by wraping one or both hands in plastic wrap and spray them with gluten-free cooking spray. Makes handling the dough so much easier.

Amazon sells the mix a little cheaper and a few months ago, I could buy 6 boxes for $20. I still can on the Favorite Sandwich Bread and if the order goes over $25, I don't pay shipping. I don't know why they don't offer the 6-pack on the French Bread anymore.

That's what I use for the foccacio with the gluten-free pantry bread mix. My dishes are round, but they're the perfect size for something like a hamburger bun. I don't know how they would work for hot dogs, though--do you think they're skinny enough?

Ooo... That's good to know. I tried the GFPantry French Bread mix before. I thought it was pretty good, but my husband doesn't like it. I've been meaning to experiment more, but just haven't.

I've been using the muffin top pan trick to make hamburger buns too, but it really is kind of a PITA so I don't make them as often as I should. Using the ceramic quiche pans is a great idea. I've seen them in all sorts of sizes.

I've been wondering about those french bread pans too. I wasn't sure if they'd hold the gooey gluten-free bread dough with the holes. Good to know they work okay.

If you get a french bread pan, you might want to give it another try. I couldn't believe how the pan changes the texture of the mix. In a loaf pan, it's nothing special.

I took some to work so I'd have some for a luncheon our group was having. A co-worker (not a Celiac) liked it so much that she asked me to make some for a dinner party she was having so she could make bruschetta out of it. One of her guests was Celiac and the rest of the guests didn't realize it was gluten-free bread until they saw the Celiac eating it.

One thing I did to make the crust harder and crustier was brush it with a beaten egg and sprinkle a heavy coating of seasame seeds on it before it went into the oven.

Has anyone tried one of the multi-grain mixes? I really miss pumpernickel!

The King Arthur Flour co. sells a quite variety of bakeware and used to sell those frenchbread pans. I imagine they still do.

They make French Bread pans without holes. The one I have doesn't have the holes. But I haven't tried making french bread yet. It is on my "to do" list!

I figured it was the small holes that helped make the crunchy crust on the bottom. I'd be curious to know if it's the holes or the rounded bottoms. Please let us know how it turns out.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
