i can't live without sandwiches and need a good recipe for a bread that is firm yet soft and delicious. ive had gluten free breads before that tasted like cardboard and didnt hold together when u make a sandwich. i'd really appreciate some help. I am also lactose intolerant so i cant use dairy - anyone have a recipe they are willing to share?

Thanks

jason

For homemade breads this is my favorite, Open Original Shared Link.

I use water instead of milk and I skip the vinegar and it still tastes great.

That's my recipe :)

Jason, it's really adaptable. Milk for water, and flours, too. Nearly everyone uses a different flour combo, just keep the flours and starches separate. Feel free to email or PM me with any questions about it.

What do you mean, "keep the flours and starches separate"?

Sorry, I meant, if you sub cornstarch with, say, tapioca, that will work. But don't sub cornstarch for the flour. And so on :)

:( That's how I feel about the bread I made yesterday! Open Original Shared Link

The Mona mix is what I used for a couple of reasons, one I had it (a gift basket from a friend) and secondly I figured it was best the first time to use a mix so I know how the stuff is supposed to respond.

On her site she raves about this bread. And my other half devoured half the loaf last night but my daughter tasted it and thought it was awful (she loves gluten full french bread).

The crust was wonderful, the bread was sponge like and the taste was not something I was prepared for. I could barely swallow the last bite of my slice of bread.

The ingredients are : white rice flour, tapioca starch, sugar, xanthan gum, sea salt!

I can assume that the taste is the flours that are used in any gluten-free bread recipe. I still think it was good to use a mix the first time so I can see how it responds. She has pictuers on her site that show step by step what it looks like and that helped me.

But flavor, is sorely missing.

Over the weekend I aquired 2 books, The gluten free gourmet and Gluten free baking classics both of which use different types of gluten-free flour mixes. I am hoping any one of them taste better or I get used to it.

My last two loaves have been out of Annalise Roberts Gluten-Free Baking Classics (overall a very good cook book). And so far, this recipe has produced the best tasting bread (family consensus) - it uses sorghum and millet (and more). It is fabulous fresh out of the oven. I didn't think it was too bad for a sandwich the next day (heat ever so slightly in the microwave and then let cool, first) but my kids are still having a problem adjusting to the texture. I think it just takes time for it to become the new norm.

Also, just to add my personal opinion on flours . . . the bean flours give you a better texture but for us the taste was off. The rice flours . . . ugh . . . NO TASTE, crumbly, heavy . . . not good for bread. I use both bean flours and rice flours in other recipes, but in bread, the flour is too dominant of a factor in it's flavor.

Yes I just got that cookbook. I saw the recipes and am glad to know the bread recipes are worth making. I have heard pros and cons about the bean flours, I am sure it adds bulk but a bean is a bean I would think! :lol:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
