Breadman Ultimate

I received a Breadman Ultimate TR2200C for Christmas. I really can't figure out how to program it correctly for gluten-free breads.

Also, can I use any gluten-free recipe in a bread machine or does it have to be a recipe designed for a bread machine?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Loregon

I have same machine and it's good to work with. I really have only one program in it and it's for the Gluten Free Pantry Mix bread. The directions are to Select a program and I use white bread choice, then I keep hitting no and yes to increase or decrease minutes. I've eliminated most of the first kneading cycle to 16 minutes, I increase the rise to 60 minutues and completely eliminated the 2nd and 3rd kneading and rising. After the 60 minute rise, I manually Stop the machine. During the white bread cycle the machine's bake temperature cannot go above 350 degrees; but the bake only cycle can go to 375 what the mix says to use. So after the 60 minute rise, I then select Bake only @ 375 degrees for 42 minutes.

While machine is kneading, I take a rubber spatula and help mix it around a little trying not to get into the way of the mixing paddle.

Let me clarify something, the Breadman does not have a special cycle for gluten-free bread; my post gives you impression that it does. I use this machine for gluten-free bread only, no gluten bread. Anyway, I just programmed it for a mix and rise according to my choice.

I have the same machine and just use the RapidWhite setting. I do plan to use the programming feature, and saw it outlinied in the instructions.

Did yours not have an instruction book ?

It DOES have to be a recipe designed for a bread machine.

Some of Bette Hagman's recipes in her "The gluten-free Gourmet Bakes Bread" are not formulated for the Bread machine. BUT, she gives instructions on mixing in the machine (thus taking out half the work and time), then letting it rise and baking it in the oven. Just as easy. Sounds like a lot of work but it's not. I'm one of those with not a lot of time on my hands to be baking by scratch, etc.

Hi everyone! Today is my day of firsts!

This is my first post to the message board, and I also just baked my first loaf of bread in my new Breadman Ultimate.

Used the Dough selection with Bob's Red Mill gluten-free bread mix (ingredients at room temp). Then baked using the Bake selection - 375 for 55 minutes. Came out great!

Next, I'll try programming!

I would really recommend programming the machine. Its super easy to do and makes the bread turn out 100% better.

I have the breadman ultimate, and I tried making a loaf using the standard bread cycle and ended up with a brick. Then I tried programming the machine. It's really important not to do the second punch down that is standard with most bread machines, so the bread actually rises and is airy. I used Bette Hagman's Basic Featherlight Rice Bread recipe from the gluten-free bakes bread - the medium size loaf. I programmed the machine for the 2lb white loaf but changed the times as follows:

Preheat: 0

Knead 1: 5

Knead 2: 20

Rise 1: 40

Punch, Rise 2, Shape, Rise 3: 0

Bake: 60

Also, I opened the lid during the kneading and helped mix the dough in the corners. I also watched closely during the rising - as Bette puts it " The dough should not have little bubbles showing (overpoofed) but should like more like Mr. Doughboy in the Pillsbury ads" when finished rising. So most times, I watch the dough and end up stoping the rise cycle before the full 40 minutes (by holding down the stop/start button) and then select the bake only cycle for 375 and 60 minutes. Hope this helps!

I've noticed nobody uses the preheat function. Any reason? I know the ingredients are supposed to be at room temperature, but if they aren't would the preheat be useful then?

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
