Bread Machine Mixes- What Ones Work (and Taste) Best?

I have a bread machine that I have used a few times, but have yet to find a bread that I really like.

I'm not a fan of gluten-free Pantry's Sandwich Bread- it comes out too doughy and wet for me and the taste was just ok. I tried making Bob's Red Mill mix and love the texture but don't like the beany taste. Is there something I can add to mask the flavor of the beans? Perhaps sundried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, garlic or feta cheese? If so, would I have to modify the other quantities of wet ingredients to add?

Anyone have good luck with any bread machine mixes where both the texture and taste were right on?

Thanks,

Marcia

Hi Marcia!

There are numerous brands of gluten-free bread mixes. You may want to try another brand of mix; you are not the only one unimpressed by the taste of the Bob RM mix. I am actually not the best person to advise you on bread machines. I could never get my bread to turn out with the correct consistency or taste good. However, MANY others on here have had success with bread machines. You may want to do a search through past posts.

I have found it just as easy to leave my mixer on the kitchen counter as a bread machine...and with practice, my homemade bread, muffins, and cakes turn out much closer to the wheat version.

When I add a small amount of dry ingredients/spices to my bread, I generally don't add additional water. I usually can tell as I mix it if the consistency is wrong. If it is, I add a small amount of liquid (1 tsp.) at a time until the texture is correct. Now, in a bread machine, I'm not sure..hopefully someone else will respond and help.

Happy gluten free baking! :) -Julie

Hi Marcia,

Tried Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix and pretty good. Didn't like the bean taste either on BRM. There is a really good site to go to for gluten-free recipes and bread machine tips. It's www.glutenfreegoddess.com. Her name is Karina and the site is outstanding. I'm going to try her brownies today. Just bought a Breadman Pro and used her tips for my first loaf. I put machine on knead for 20 minutes, let rise 60 minutes and bake 60. The house smelled great (good sign) and we could hardly wait to dig in. Used medium crust setting and had good texture. Second and third day just as good. I think you'll like her site. The pics are beautiful and my daughter and I almost cried when we saw the brownies. We were both just diagnosed and trying hard to stay with diet. Good brownies will help. Good luck with bread.

Welcome to the forum Mamasaidso! (l like your screen name) B)

I thought I would also add that Betty Hagman and Carol Fenster are two excellent cookbook authors.

I love baking cakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, ahhhhh...I'm hungry :D

If you and your daughter are ever craving anything specific, post a topic about it. Usually, plenty of people answer.

You can also use the search tab for past posts.

Happy gluten-free baking! -Julie :)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
