Chebe No-frills Mix?

I bought some of the Chebe no frills all-purpose mix last week because it was so much cheaper than buying the packaged mixes. It is basically a 20 pound bag of the all-purpose Chebe. Now I am panicking because I am afraid it will not come with instructions on how to measure it out to use it. Nothing like a crapload of Chebe mix and no idea how much it takes to make a batch. :blink:

Has anyone ordered the no-frills mix, and did it come with instructions? I don't know how much (by volume) is in the packages that are individually sized, but they are all around 7.5 ounces or so. Anyone know how many cups of Chebe is in one of them?

Thanks for any help!

Buying Chebe in bulk is a great idea! I didn't know it came that way.

I have several of the plain red Chebe packages on hand but I'm not going to be able to bake until later tonight or maybe tomorrow morning. When I do, I'll measure one of the red packages and post the measurement of mix in the package and the directions.

How are you planning on fixing it?

I made parmesan breadsticks with green chilis and cooked them to a crunchy/chewy texture. YUM!

A red pack of basic Chebe mix contains 2 cups and 1-1/2 Tbsp. of mix. This was measured the way they taught me in Home Ec -- spooning the mix out into the cup measure and leveling off the cup. If you were scooping it out of a bag, it would probably be 2 cups. Basic Chebe is the most forgiving gluten-free bread I've found.

Where did you find Chebe sold in bulk?

I ordered it directly from the Chebe website at Open Original Shared Link It is so much cheaper than buying the packages and I am such a cheapskate. B)

Thank you so much for measuring that out for me. I can't wait until it gets here to start making me some Chebe! Who know I could get so excited about bread? The recipe you mentioned above sounds great. I may have to try it. I am REALLY craving a soft pretzel right now, and I think Chebe may work for a reasonable facsimile.

Hey, I think that may be new - very cool. Next time, I will just order a few cases and then the bulk of the all-purpose mix (gluten-free/LF)!

I just realized in looking at your link that I measured the red package which has dry milk in it. I have a yellow package of the all-purpose (dairy free) at home that was a freebie from the store where I buy all of my Chebe. I promise I'll make something with it by the weekend and see if the package contains the same measurements. Sorry for the delay, I thought the original was the all purpose. That explains why I couldn't find it, dry milk might go off by the time you used 20 pounds. Although I wonder if the cream of tarter and baking soda will get old like baking powder does? Are you going to store it in the freezer?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
