Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix


Joni63

Recommended Posts

Hello,

So, I'm getting ready for my first gluten-free Thanksgiving. Bought GFP French Bread Mix. Thought I would bake it up today, eat some with dinner and freeze half for stuffing for Thanksgiving. Looked at the directions :huh:I need a bread machine! I don't know what I was thinking but I don't have a bread machine! The closest thing I have is an old food processor that does have dough type hooks.

Can I use that? I'm sure I won't be kneading dough by hand - that is just way too much! What should I do?

Thanks!

I have a box of that mix. I haven't made it yet, but on my box it has directions on how to use a heavy duty mixer and the oven. They are located just below the directions for the bread machine. If you need them, let me know. I can type them up for you.

I make this bread about every two weeks or so--I always use my Kitchen Aid mixer and bake it in the oven. It comes out fine :)

PS--I use water in place of any milk and light olive oil as the oil/butter. Delicious!

Also, it makes a bit too much dough for my Pyrex loaf pan, so I use the rest of the dough for hamburger rolls.

Well, it's in the oven now. My regular mixer had dough hooks I forgot about because I've never used them. I was surprised that the dough was smooth and easy to work with. Guess I expected a heavy thick dough. I used water and corn oil - wasn't sure if my olive oil would be too heavy(it's not lite).

Great idea making the extra into hamburger rolls. :)

I'll let you know how my first bread experience turns out! :unsure:

Well, it's done. I'm not overly impressed, but it's not too bad either. White bread/french bread isn't something I'm real fond of non gluten free so I'm not surprised. Seems like the texture will work as stuffing. If not, I think I'll try a corn bread stuffing next time.

has any one tried to make these into rolls/biscuits? i didn't even think of offering bread at thanksgiving dinner but realized that's only because i never eat bread but the rest of the world does....i have a box of this mix and thought i could try dropping in onto a cookie sheet but i don't want to waste a whole box of mix if it isn't going to work....

Yes--like I said above, I bake a loaf but my bread pan is a bit small, so I use the leftover dough to make into rolls.

I usually make them hamburger bun size, but I've also made them smaller. Just drop the dough on a cookie sheet and shape with plastic wrap between your hands and the dough(easier that way ;) ). Let it rise for the 40 minutes and then bake until golden brown.

I just bought that mix myself and I do have a bread machine, but I mixed it by hand, covered it with plastic wrap in the pan to rise and then baked it, it was good! I loved freshly baked homemade bread, you just can't beat it with store bought types, especially when it's gluten-free. gluten-free pantry also makes a yankee cornbread mix that I plan to use for my cornbread dressing. Good luck and have a happy thanksgiving!

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      That's great news, you can do this.  Let us know how things go and don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. Cristiana 😊
