Italian Bread?

Hi everyone. I am new to the boards and pretty new to the gluten free diet (gluten free since 10/07). The one thing I miss so much is a good loaf of Italian bread- the bread that is crunchy and chewy. Not this gluten free bread. Has anyone found any gluten free bread that resembles Italian bread? Thanks for your help.

I disagree. There's a thread on here right now regarding a recipe for french bread, I made it monday, it's wonerfully crusty on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. I usually HATE gluten-free bread, but this was exceptional! But not sure how french and italian breads differ...

I just started baking my own bread, I was a little apprehensive about it before. I have a bread machine but never use it. I throw all the ingredients (per instructions) in my kitchenaid mixer, put into pans, set on a heating pad set to medium for the rise time and then bake as directed. The only time it didn't turn out, I used a silicone baking pan-not sure if it needed more cooking time or what but one loaf (in metal pan) was perfect and the silicone loaf looked great for 5 minutes and then sunk in on itself...??? It still tasted fine, just looked crazy! For normal sandwich bread I use the Pamela's wheat free bread mix and my DD loves it. The french bread I baked on a cookie sheet. I just spooned it into the shape I wanted, sprayed my fingers with Pam and shaped it prettier, it rose like the recipe said and baked better than I had expected! It took me 2 years to try it, but not sure I will ever buy a 5$ loaf of bread again! Good luck to you! :D

We made that bread last week as well and we loved it. And that's even AFTER my husband asked me not to make gluten-free bread anymore (he's the one with the celiac disease) because he just didn't like any of them. I will defintely make this again. I was just thinking this morning if I could make it Italian - style and next time I will just add seasonings to it and see how it goes.

Good luck!

Annalise Robert's book, gluten-free Baking Classics has a wonderful recipe for a crusty Italian bread.

I love the Kinnickinnick Italian bread. It does come presliced, I do wish they carried one that was shaped that real italian but for a premade gluten-free bread it is really close. If I want a true loaf bread that I can bake in the oven I really like the Gluten Free Pantries French Bread Mix. It makes a really great pizza crust also, even the gluten eaters I know will eat it.

Gluten Free pantry has a Bread/Pizza mix that is like french bead. Not exactly Italian but it is actually good. Let us know if you find a good Italian. (Bread that is, HE!HE!)

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency. No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
