For The Love Of Chebe!

I finally got around to trying Chebe. I think it was just the plain 'ol Chebe. We added some cheese and made some dinner rolls. OH MY GOODNESS! SO YUMMMMMY!!!!!! I am dreaming now of making lots of little tiny sammiches! It's the only bread I've found that makes a good gluten-free sammich. Toss on a little honey mustard and some turkey and my daughter was in HEAVEN!!! She ate about 4 little sammich balls. It was wayyyy cute.

I stocked up on some more packages of Chebe, figuring I'll be making them in lots about once a week. I've heard y'all rave about Chebe, so here comes the question.

How else can I use Chebe besdies rolling it into a ball for rolls or twisting it into breadsticks like in the picture on the package? I have high hopes for this stuff, but I noticed the package said not to make the balls too big (I'm assuming because the insides won't cook completely).

So, all you Chebe experts out there, what kinds of variations of Chebe have you made?

I generally buy the all-purpose mix. It is great for pizza crusts, breadsticks, rolls and sub rolls. I have thought about trying for a soft pretzel. I think it might work. If you roll it really thin, it makes a great cracker.

Hi!

We are addicted to Chebe!! Love it! Here are our favorite ways to eat Chebe:

Pizza Mix:

We doctor it up a bit by adding 2T Pamela's mix and 2T flax meal to the the other ingredients. Roll it out super thin on a really large pizza pan, then pre-bake 10 minutes. Top with everything you like - return to oven until hot and bubbley. Yum.

Tortillas:

do it the same as above with pizza mix, pamela's and flax meal (plus other ingredients called for on package). Then pull off golf ball size dough balls roll out as thin as you can (between pieces of plastic works really well) then cook in a large skillet (ungreased) over medium-low heat until lightly browned on each side. These are revolutionary and life altering. I know it sounds extreme but sandwich wraps, burritos, personal pizzas, quessidilla . . . we eat them like every single day - so, so , good! I usually double the recipe, using one bag of pizza mix and one bag of bread stick mix and doubling everything else, makes about 14 large tortilla (that's like 3 days worth for us :)

Garlic Naan (Indian flat bread):

Using the regular mis in the red bag - follow the recipe on the back, but instead of 1/3 cup of milk use 1/3 cup of plain yogurt. mix until a soft dough. Then break into 5 or 6 pieces. roll the pieces out into flattened ovals (but not as flat as tortilla's - more like a pancake). Then crush garlic on top of each piece. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and rub in with garlic using your fingers to smear around each piece. Then bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. Soooooo good with Indian food or just on their own.

Pigs in a blanket:

Only did this once but it was good - make according to regular recipe, break off small pieces and wrap around mini hot dogs or just cut up regular hot dogs and bake in the oven.

Enjoy the Chebe love!!

I love love love Chebe - it has been a welcome addition to my gluten-and-many-other-free diet. In fact, the Cinnamon Rollup mix is on deck for Sunday.

I get about 4 personal size crusts out of a bag of pizza mix and freeze for later use.

I've also rolled it out very thin and made crackers.

I am eager to make as tortillas - thanks for the heads-up barb.

Chebe Pizza mix: Gluten, corn, soy, rice, potato, yeast, nuts, peanut, lactose and casein free, plus great taste. What's not to like? :)

Okay that's it! I've been debating buying Chebe now I'm sold. I don't recall seeing it at Whole Foods or Kroger. Is online the only place you can get it? I'm not opposed to ordering things online was just wondering if I can get it near me. Oh god do I miss sandwichies and the like!

Thanks SO much everyone! I am still lovin' the Chebe. I made some more rolls and am going to get more experimental! I have a tortilla press so I'm really thinking tortillas are next on the list. And some sammich style formations. Oh the possibilities!!!!

This is a MUST for every gluten-free eater!!! And it's not just gluten-free--it's free of most everything anyone could be intolerant to, and it still tastes delicious!!!!!

I made Chebe tortillas last night and the results were FABULOUS. I LOVE CHEBE. The best tortilla I've had since I went gluten-free.

I heard it has chemically modified starch in it. Does it say modified cassava starch on the package? I heard we can't digest the modifed starch so I have steered clear of it. I'm not sure all their stuff has it, so that's why I'm asking.

Modified food starch should only be problem when it comes from a gluten source. We have safely eaten modified corn, potato, tapioca starches.

I haven't had any trouble with Chebe, and I'm pretty sure they all have modified manioc starch.

I just read it's not good for you as for as digestion and absorption in the liver. I don't know that you would experience any symptoms as it has nothing to do with gluten. I, myself, do not eat chemicals as my brother died from cancer so I am very careful what I eat. That's just me.

Good question - I never really thought about "how" or "why" they modify the starch - hmmm.

But meanwhile, my family is becoming increasingly addicted to Chebe. Here are a couple of new tips:

Hot dog buns made from the stuff in the red bag = yum! And, we were paying like $3.99/bag of chebe at WFM but on-line, if you buy it by the case you can get the price down to like $2.50/bag and if you buy at least 4 cases, the shipping is free. I thought 4 cases would be overkill but we are ripping through it.

We eat: pizza, tortillas, hot dog buns, ginder rolls, garlic naan, pigs in a blanket, rolls, bread sticks - it just goes on and on!

But I am still putting a plug in for the tortillas - you gott try them!

Well, be careful if you have kids:

Modified food starches used by the food industry for infants and young children are of concern and there is an urgent need for additional data regarding their bioavailability, effect on nutrient absorption, intestinal changes, and toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects. Therefore, the inclusion of modified food starches should be used prudently and sparingly.

I've never had any, but I went to the website and checked out the ingredients. The regular Chebe mix contains these ingredients only:

Tapioka flour, Tapioka starch, dried milk, and salt. If you follow their directions, the eggs will be the only leavening agent (although they do say you can add some baking powder if wanted). That's probably why they say to make the rolls small, there's no yeast in the recipe. If you were to use yeast like a normal bread, you could probably make them as big as you wanted.

best regards, lm

I did get a chance to check out that website.

It does list modified tapioca starch in the ingredients. I think it's probably called Expandex. And here's what the company said about it:

I know this is an old post but I made some hot dog buns with this today and they were so good I wanted to share. I used mozzarella cheese in it and it gave it a nice mild flavor. I am going over to a friends this weekend for a bbq and I am defenitly going to be making some hamburger buns to take with me.

Can't wait to try other things with chebe now.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      Fiber Supplement

      @Trish G,  I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well.  But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small intestines where our nutrients are absorbed.  If you have constipation, where your body is rather pushing your food away and not interacting with it, the nutrients in the food are not being released and absorbed.  You can develop deficiencies in all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the body to function properly.   The B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished daily.  Thiamine B 1 stores can run out in as little as three days.  Constipation (or diarrhea or alternating) is one of the first symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine needs magnesium, Pyridoxine B 6, and Riboflavin B 2 to make the intestinal tract function.  Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes.  Thiamine provides the energy for nerve impulses to carry messages to the brain and back about digestion.  Thiamine provides the energy for the muscle contractions which move your food through the digestive tract. High calorie meals containing lots of starches and sugars can deplete thiamine stores quickly because more thiamine is required to turn them into energy.   Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements?  Correction of malnutrition is very important in Celiac disease.  Thiamine, the other B vitamins and magnesium will help with constipation better than adding more fiber.  What did your nutritionist recommend you take, besides just the fiber? The association between dietary vitamin B1 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11100033/ Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Association between dietary vitamin B6 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11584952/

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured in blood tests. If you had already gone gluten free or if you had lowered your consumption of gluten before testing, your results will be inaccurate and inconclusive.   See link below on gluten challenge guidelines. Have you had any genetic testing done to see if you carry genes for Celiac disease?  If you don't have genes for Celiac, look elsewhere for a diagnosis.  But if you have Celiac genes, you cannot rule out Celiac disease. You mentioned in another post that you are vegetarian.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The best sources of the eight essential B vitamins are found in meats.  Do you supplement any of the B vitamins as a vegetarian? Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is strongly associated with anemia which can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Fatigue, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty with coordination, headaches and anemia are strongly associated with thiamine deficiency.  Other B vitamins that contribute to those symptoms are Riboflavin B 2, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9 and B12 Cobalamine.  The eight B vitamins all work together with minerals like magnesium and iron.  So your symptoms are indicative of B vitamin deficiencies.  You can develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies just being a vegetarian and not eating good sources of B vitamins like meat.  B vitamin deficiencies are found in Celiac due to the malabsorption of nutrients because the lining of the intestines gets damaged by the antibodies produced in response to gluten.
