Pamela's Bread Mix -- Your Favorite Uses?

I just bought Pamela's bread mix for the first time, and am excited to have found a gluten-free, df, sf bread mix. There are so many recipes on the bag. I was wondering which one others like best. I'm trying to decide what to make first. (I won't be making the cheese bread, since I cook without dairy and soy)

Thanks for your feedback!

We love the pizza recipe on the side of the bag. Even DH, who doesn't have to eat gluten-free, says it is very good! I now order this in bulk from Amazon b/c it is so much cheaper that way.

I like the pizza recipe too.

Another good mix is Anna's bread mix. I get gluten-free, SF, CF, DF mix. You can use the bread machine or do it by hand. Both ways are easy although I haven't always had good luck with my bread maker.

My kids LOVE the Anna's banana bread mix.

www.123glutenfree.com has the best brownie and cake mixes EVER!!! I started out ordering them but then a local HFS started carrying some of the mixes.

I used Pamela's bread mix to make pie crust (recipe on bag) and I thought it was very good. :)

Thanks for all of the tips! Last night I used the Pamela's bread mix to make rolls. They were wonderful! I couldn't believe how nice the texture was, and how easy the recipe was. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know if I'd like the sorghum flour that's in the mix, but I thought it tasted good. My husband, who can eat anything, liked the rolls a lot.

I'm particularly eager to use the new mix for pizza crust. Until now, I've used the gluten-free Pantry's French Bread and Pizza Mix for that, and I like it, but it is more like bread than pizza....

I don't think I've ever seen Anna's mixes. I'll look them up. Thanks for the tip!

We love Pamela's! I make waffles, pancakes, banana bread and cookies with it. And once you fall in love with it :P be sure to check it out at Amazon. It's much cheaper than in the store.

Good luck!

It's really easy, I just made some a few weeks ago for my family and they disappeared in 5 minutes once they came out of the oven :lol:

I simply modified this recipe:

Open Original Shared Link

This recipe calls for frozen bread dough that is thawed out and you just replace it with the Pamela's Bread Mix dough.

I didn't add the hazlenuts or the cloves, and I didn't make the mascarpone frosting. You can serve them plain or drizzle with a little powdered sugar glaze or even frost with cream cheese icing.

You will need in addition to the recipe ingredients a bag of white rice flour and of course the Pamela's Bread Mix.

Butter your dish and then mix together the sugar cinnamon mixture according to recipe. Make up the dough according to the package directions (the non bread maker directions).

Flour your work surface generously with the white rice flour and scoop out the dough onto the work surface with a spatula.

The dough is VERY sticky, so you will need to keep sprinkling the dough and the work surface with the white rice flour in order to work with it.

With your hands kind of pat the dough and form into a bread loaf shape.

Then roll it out with your rolling pin according to the recipe directions (I think it's a 9" x 12" rectangle).

Follow the recipe from here. (brush with butter, sprinkle the sugar cinnamon mixture, roll, cut, and put in buttered dish, cover to let rise, bake)

Tip* Make sure you flour under the dough before you roll it out, and when you are rolling it up into the jellyroll it might stick so I use a knife or a metal spatula to slide under the dough as I go to help it along.

It took me a few tries to get a hang of the dough and to perfect the technique.

The gluten-free dough won't raise all that much when you let it set in the pan for the 45 minutes, but they really rise when they are baking.

It makes the most fluffy, doughy, heavenly cinnamon rolls imo :)

I've used Pamela's bread mix or Bob Redmill bread mix to make pizza (I don't follow a recipe). I place my pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 450 F. I add some to a bowl, add enough water to make it into a ball and roll it out using more mix if it gets too sticky. I put corn meal on a pizza peel and put the crust on then add my toppings ( my favourite toppings are spinach, roasted garlic, carmelized onions a sprinkling of thyme and oregano and lots of feta cheese). Transfer pizza onto stone and bake for about 10 minutes until topping is nice and bubbly and crust is cooked and crisp (can you tell I like a thin crisp crust).

I discovered making pizza this way from a pizza place in Victoria, BC called The Joint. They make a gluten free pizza and couldn't give me the recipe because it is commercially made for them but said that Bob's RedMill came the closest to what they use but I discovered that Pamela's works equally well.

Thank you Juliem! I am not by any means a baker...but I will give this a try. Prior to being dx w/celiac disease, my husband and son (once a month) would sit down to a breakfast of a roll of 8 Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls and milk and my DH really misses it.

I also found a Chebe cinnamon-something mix and I should try that as well.

Thanks again!

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae.  I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health).   I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides.  I prefer the supplements.  I feel better and my bones feel stronger.   References: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
