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?

Piesmom Apprentice

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. :)

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health Problems • Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds. Been ongoing for a year now. First noticed in the gym. • Abdominal bulge on the right side, not painful but seems to be getting slightly bigger. Doctor didn’t find a hernia on ultrasound, but it was done lying down (I’ve read those can miss hernias). Noticed it like 6 months ago, couldve been there longer. • extremely dry and mildly swollen hands (this started before I started excessive hand-washing), and bloated face. • Signs of inattentive ADHD (noticed over the past 3 years), now combined with severe OCD focused on contamination and cross-contact. • Growth/puberty seemed to started after going gluten-free. Before that I was not developing. Dont know if any of these are because of celiac as my dad doesnt have those and he is a lot less strict gluten-free then me. I also had pancreatic elastase tested four times: values were 46 (very low), 236, 158, and 306 (normal). Gastroenterologist said one normal value is enough and I don’t have EPI. Family doctor prescribed Kreon anyway (after I pushed for it), and I just started taking 1 capsule (10,000 units) with meals 2 days ago, but couldn‘t see effects yet because I’ve been constipated the last few days. Maybe because of thyroid. I don’t have Hashimoto’s. No thyroid antibodies. But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels. My thyroid levels fluctuated between borderline low and low-normal. And recently lowered my dose so that may have caused the constipating. I probably didn’t need it in the first place, and am thinking about stopping it soon.   Current Diet Right now, I only eat a very limited set of “safe” foods I prepare myself: • Gluten-free bread with tuna or cheese • Milk and cornflakes • gluten-free cookies/snacks • Bananas (the only fruit I trust right now) I rarely eat other fruits or vegetables, because I’m scared of contamination. My dad, who also has celiac but doesn’t care about CC, buys fruits, and he might’ve picked them up right after handling gluten bread. That makes me feel unsafe eating them. Even fruit at stores or markets feels risky because so many people with gluten on their hands touch them.   My Home Situation (Shared Kitchen) We’re a family of 5. Only my dad and I have celiac. He eats glutenfree but doesn’t care about CC and sometimes (but rarely) cheats. My mom and siblings eat gluten bread at every meal. My mom is honest (so if i ask her to be cautious, she most likely would try to), but doesn’t seem to understand how serious celiac is. She: • Stopped using gluten flour • only cooks gluten-free meals (but they still heat up gluten bread and also cook gluten noodles) • Keeps separate butter/jam/jars for me • Bought me a stainless steel pan Bu we didn’t replace old wooden utensils, cutting boards, or other pans. The new they bought me pan was even carried home in a shopping bag with gluten bread in it, which triggered my OCD. It also has a rubber handle and I’m scared it might still hold onto gluten. Even if it’s washed well, it’s stored next to other pans that were used for gluten food/bread. Our kitchen table is used for eating gluten bread daily. My mom wipes it but not with soap. I’m scared tiny particles remain. If she made gluten-free bread dough on a board at the table, I’d still worry about cross contmaination contamination even with something under the dough and on the table as at one point the dough would probably touch the table. So I stopped eating anything she makes.   I know OCD is making it worse, but I can’t tell how much of my fear is real and how much is anxiety. Examples: • I wash my hands 20–30 times a day — before eating, after touching anything at home or outside, after using my phone/laptop. • I don’t let others touch my phone, and I’m scared to use my laptop because friends at school or my brother (who eat gluten) have touched it. And it annoys me a lot when others touch my stuff and feels like it got contaminated and is unsafe instantly. • I stopped eating while using my phone or laptop, afraid of invisible gluten being on them. • I wash my hands after opening food packaging (since it was on store cashier belts where gluten food is placed). • I avoid sitting anywhere except my bed or one clean chair. • I won’t shake hands with anyone or walk past people eating gluten. • At school, when switching classes, I wash my hands before getting out my laptop, again before opening it, etc. • I open door knobs with my elbows instead my hands   Job Concerns (Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Etc.) I’m working a temporary job right now that involves: • Powder coating • Sandblasting • Wet spray painting • Anodizing There’s also a laboratory. I don’t need this job, and my OCD makes me believe that dust or air particles there might contain gluten somehow. Should I quit?   Doctors Haven’t Helped My family doctor told me: “Asymptomatic celiac isn’t serious, if you have no symptoms, your intestines won’t get damaged, so you don’t need a gluten-free diet.” I knew that was wrong, but he wasn’t open to listening. I just nodded and didn‘t argue. My gastroenterologist (who’s also a dietitian) said: „If your antibodies are negative, there’s no damage. It might even be okay to try small amounts of gluten later if antibodies stay negative.“ Also said, pepper that says “may contain gluten” is fine if it only contains pepper. She was more informed than my family doctor but didn’t seem to fully understand celiac either.   Questions I Need Help With 1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks, if we get separate pans/ and boards even if gluten is still used in the same kitchen? There will always be low risk of cc chances like that she will still touch stuff that was touched by her and my siblings after they ate gluten. And as there are gluten eaters in the house and she also prepares and eats gluten. So would opening the fridge then getting the food and touching the food be okay? So basically what i am doing, washing my hands multiple times while preparing food, she would only wash it once before, then touch anything else (for example water tap or handles) that were touched with gluteny hands, then also touch the food. I dont know if I ever could feel safe, I could try telling her how important cc really is. And I trust her so she wouldnt lie to me then be careless about cc, but idk how safe it really can be if she and everyone else keeps eating gluten and touching stuff in the house after eating. 2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or school desks? Or like if i went to the gym, I would be touching stuff all the time, so there will be small amounts of gluten and those would get transferred on my phone if I touch my phone while in the gym. But I want to knos if it would be enough to do damage. 3. Is an endoscopy (without biopsy) enough to tell if my intestines are healed? I’d pay privately if it could help and if i dont get a refferal. Or do i need a biopsy? 4. Could my job (powder coating, sandblasting, etc.) expose me to gluten or damage my intestines through air/dust? 5. Do I need certified gluten-free toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, or moisturizer? (For example: Vaseline and Colgate don’t contain gluten ingredients but say they can’t guarantee it’s gluten-free.) 6. Is spices like pepper with “may contain traces of gluten” safe if no gluten ingredients are listed? Or does everything need to be labeled gluten-free?  7. Is continuing to only eat my own food the better choice, or could I eventually go back to eating what my mom cooks if she’s careful? 8. is cutlery from dishwasher safe if there are stains? Stuff like knives is used for cutting gluten bread or fork for noodles etc. I often see stains which i dont know if its gluten or something else but our dish washer doesnt seem to make it completely clean. 9. I wash my hands multiple times while preparing food. Do i need to do the same when touching my phone. Like if i touch the fridge handle, I wash my hands then touch the phone. I dont eat while using my phone but i leave it on my bed and pillow and my face could come in contact with where it was.  10. Do i need to clean my phone or laptop if theyve been used by people who eat gluten? Even if no crumbs fall onto my keybaord, i mean because of invisible gluten on their fingers. 11. Does medication/supplements have to be strictly glutenfree? One company said they couldn‘t guarantee if their probiotics don’t contain traces of gluten.  12. I had bought supplements in the past, some of them say glutenfree and some of them dont(like the brand „NOW“ from iherb). I bought them and used them when i wasnt washing my hands so often, are they still safe? As I touched and opened them after touching door knobs, water taps etc. It was like a year ago when i bought those and even though i was eating gluten-free, I never worried about what i touch etc. I know this post is long. I’m just extremely overwhelmed. I’m trying to protect myself from long-term health damage, but the OCD is destroying my quality of life, and I honestly don’t know what’s a reasonable level of caution anymore. Thanks for reading.

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.
