Making gluten-free Bread -- Suggestions (newbie)

[GlutenGalAZ 1]

I like to cook but have never really had the time to get into baking.

My new goal is to make bread (rolls and pizza crust too) hoping it will be better than already made bread.

Does anyone have any suggestions/pointers on bread mixes?

Also which is easier for someone who hasn

Hi,

I really like Gluten Free Pantry French Bread--it comes as a mix, which I bake in the regular oven. It has a recipe on the package for use in a breadmaker, but I'm happy with the way mine comes out.

I'm the only one in the house who eats the gluten-free bread, so when I bake a loaf I let it cool, slice and freeze in zip lock bags (4 slices to a bag). I take it out as needed--I normally just use it for toast.

These breads don't last a long time at room temperature--a day or two is fine, though. Much longer than that, I'd really suggest freezing it.

I get around 20 slices from a loaf of bread, and about 4 dinner size rolls (my bread pan is slightly smaller than standard, so I use the excess dough for the rolls. I do those along side the bread in a pie plate.

Thanks for the replies.

I think I will try a mix first and work my way to trying recipes. Thanks for the pointer on using any extra dough for rolls. I really miss dinner rolls, so that would be a treat.

Thanks again.
