Need Help Finding Easy/tasty gluten-free Bread Mix!

Help! My mom is being a total angel about gluten-free this Thanksgiving. It took her some time to come around, but she has been super-supportive about the family Thanksgiving and wants to make a gluten-free version of her famous holiday nut bread for me. She called me asking for gluten-free flour substitutes and I'm trying to find a good solution for her. Not sure what to tell her though!

It's a yeast-rising bread that she rolls up almost like a giant cinnamon-roll loaf after she spreads it with the nut filling. She doesn't have all the gluten-free flours/xanthan gum/etc. so I think the easiest thing would be to point her to a gluten-free bread mix that she can mix and use. She does her breads by hand without a bread maker.

Anybody have a suggestion that's reasonably easy to find at Whole Foods or somewhere and tastes good? I'm trying to avoid Bob's Red Mill. That garbanzo taste would seriously ruin mom's bread.

Pamela's Wheat Free (gluten-free) Bread Mix might do the trick. I've used it to make bread, and pizza crust before.

I make breads from scratch these days, but will absolutely use the Pamela's mix in a pinch. I think it's pretty decent.

I've also used Pamela's Pancake and Baking mix as an all-purpose flour replacement, but I have NOT tried that one in a yeast bread- only quick breads and cakes, etc.

Edit-- Cudos to your mom for making this effort! :D

I have had good luck with Pamelas Amazing Bread Mix, I've made cinnamon rolls several times with this mix and they've turned out great everytime. I don't use a bread maker either, I prepared the dough with my hand mixer and the dough hook attachments.

The dough is a little sticky to work with but I just have extra plain rice flour on hand to flour the dough and the roll out surfaces.

You can find it Pamela's mixes at Whole Foods.

I think the Amazing Bread mix that Julie's talking about is the same one I've used.

Hi Sarah, I think we posted at the same time :lol:

It should be the same mix, I'm pretty sure Pamela's only has one bread mix called Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix.

Miriam, just to add- there are directions on the package for breadmaker as well as mixing it by hand. Also, Pamela's doesn't use bean flours. The yeast packet is inside the package, so you just need eggs, water, and oil.

I'm sure a bread mix would work for your mom's recipe, it sounds delicious...... and how sweet is your mom?!?!?!

Thanks guys! Yeah, mom is sweet. I checked after you recommended it and the local organic market has Pamela's. The box even has a recipe for using it as a sweet bread, and I think that's what will taste best with mom's recipe. I'll let you know how it works out!

Have any of you found a pre-made bread that is decent? The brown rice bread that I found at whole foods should be used as a paper weight and I bought a corn bread that crumbled into nothing. I actually had to eat it with a spoon.

Any advice?

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
