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 :)

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
