We're new to this whole gluten-free diet, so bear with me. We just bought a bread machine and tried a gluten-free recipe and it turned out fine, but it's just so dense and had a very overbearing yeast taste. Does anyone have a bread machine recipe that might be a bit lighter? Thanks tons in advance!

lilgreen,

Out of the (probably) 10 different recipes that I have tried over the last 2 years, my DH's favorite is the Gluten-free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread mix. As you'll find, all the gluten-free bread is heavier in texture...most people say it's only good if you toast it, but my husband got used to it for sandwiches. Hope this helps!

If you end up liking it, you can get it at amazon .com for cheaper than you can in the store.

Good luck!

I just made this recipe in my Breadman Ultimate and it turned out perfect!

Open Original Shared Link

The only difference is I used Hemp milk instead of regular milk. I used the custom settings that were in the thread and they were perfect!

I hope it helps. I was really really good bread-it lives up to the 17 pages that promise it is the best bread!

What custom settings do you use?

Hi zkat!

I would be very interested too in knowing which setting you used (I have the same Bread Man). I read as much of the reviews/thread as I could...but couldn't find the settings.

Thank you!!! I can't wait to make this.

I set it for the following:

Warm-10 min

Knead-18 min

Rise 1 off

Rise 2 off

Rise 3 55 min

Bake 55 min.

During the knead, I watch it to make sure it all gets mixed in well and at the end of the rise, I shape the dough so it looks like a loaf

I am going to try it this weekend with substituting 20% of the coconut flour and adding 20% more liquid, so it is a highe fiber, lower gi bread. I will let you know how it turns out.

I have been making bread for several years and was pretty good at gluten bread, but my husband said this was the best loaf I ever made and he can eat gluten!

Thanks Kat - that will really help. I'm so excited to make this. My DH "lives" with the Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread mix...but if I can make him one as "normal" feeling and tasting as the reviews imply...he will be thrilled!

Thanks again!

I tolerate several prepackaged gluten free items as well, but only in the case of an emergency because I do not like them that much. I have found that if I make it myself, it is so much better tasting. The hardest part for me was not adding flour to the batter while it was mixing. This was my first attempt at gluten-free bread, so I am used to making sure the dough is a nice round ball etc.

This bread really does live up to the hype. My husband told me it was better than my gluten bread I used to make, and he was a big fan of the gluten stuff. It doesn't fall apart when you slice it, even if you slice it thin. DH has informed me that banana nut bread it next......

Let me know how it turns out!

Kat -

He loved it! I just got off the phone with him and he said it was great to have a sandwich that didn't fall apart. I made it yesterday and I'm excited at how easy it was. I must have missed more in the thread too, because you said you shaped it into a ball...I didn't do that. I mixed all the dry ingredients, then mixed all the wet ingredients and added the dry to the wet. I actually baked it in the oven...my sides caved in a little bit when I took it out (don't know what I did wrong there) but the main thing is that he REALLY LIKED IT!

I'm so happy you posted that recipe. THis is the closest thing to real bread that he has had in almost 2 years. He was happy - so I am happy!

Thanks again!

If the sides caved in it was because there was too much moisture. Many posts on here say that the dough texture should be different than wheat bread, like a really thick cake batter. I found that when I followed that idea with the flax bread recipe, the sides and bottom of the bread always collapsed.

Here's what I do:

I start of by decreasing the amount of water/milk called for in the recipe by 1/3. Then as it is mixing in the bread machine I usually help it mix with a plastic spatula. I add either flour or water (usually flour) until the dough forms a ball when the bread machine is mixing/kneading it. At the correct texture the dough is thick. After the kneading is complete, I remove the paddle (wastes less bread that way) and I try to spread out the dough evenly in the pan using a plastic spatula. The dough should resemble the texture of wheat dough, but it will be heavier and sticky. Since I started doing this, my bread has not caved in once (and it used to EVERY TIME).

Thanks Jenny.

Do you just wet your hand then - and is the dough easy to get off your hand? Sounds like a dumb question...but that stuff can be sooo hard to remove! :rolleyes:

So to get this straight...I don't want to screw it up...as it is mixing, you add more flour...how much would you guess? I mix this in my Kitchen Aid only because my hubby says he likes the smaller slices of the "pan" method as opposed to the bread machine's 2 lb. loaf size. I told him to cut the bread in half then...jeez...he's such a GUY. But he won't listen. So I was thinking of adding flour, like you said, while it's in my mixer. I bet I will try it in my bread machine though. I am soo the curious type.

Thanks again Jenny!

Well, I just man-handle the dough with the plastic spatula. It's not nearly as sticky with less liquid, but still more so than wheat bread. I have not made bread using my new method in my mixer, but this is what I would try. I would use your dough hook. As I mentioned I would decrease the liquid by one third. (When I use the Flax bread recipe I use 2/3 cup milk & instead of honey I add 3 TBSP sugar and 3 tsp yeast, as it seems to work better for me.) Help the mixer incorporate all the ingredients. If the dough is lumpy & goopy add more flour. I usually add 2 or 3 moderately heaped serving spoons worth of flour. Add them one at a time. Your dough should form a ball & ball up around the hook. Add more flour until it does. I know it may seem crazy to decrease the liquid AND add more flour, but since I started doing this my bread never sinks. I got so sick of making my little boy sandwiches with 3 inch tall bread. :( Now his bread looks more normal. :)

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By Jane878 · Posted

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
