In Search Of Bread Machine

Does anyone have recommendations for a bread machine that works well for gluten free breads?

I have an old Sunbean machine that I used to make some gluten-free bread- and as I suspected it would, it made me very sick because I have used it for regular bread in the past. I used Bob's Red Mill mix and it made a decent bread - at least compared to the stuff I have tasted that is available in local supermarkets. I have read that gluten-free breads do best with two paddles or one kneading cycle. (My old machine does none of the above and it turned out OK.)

I just read a review of a Cuisiinart that has a gluten free setting- has anyone tried this model?

We decided that if we were going to get a bread machine.....and that this diet is for life, we were going to get a really good model. I love the one I have; it's a Zojirushi. You put the wet ingrediants in the bottom, dry ones on top of that, and lastly the yeast on top. It has many settings, or you can store your own settings. Mostly I use the basic setting. The machine does the rise cycle, mixing and baking and I don't have to do anything once the ingredients are put in. Love it! I will not eat any store bought gluten-free bread. The recipes I've tried so far have been pretty good (all of them taste much better toasted). Hope this helps

I have been looking at the model you suggested and I like that it has two paddles and programmable cycles. Can this machine be used to make 1 or 1.5 lb loaves? I am just cooking for myself and can't come close to finishing off a 2lb loaf.

I am in love with my new Breadman Pro (model TR875). It has a gluten free cycle and makes 1.5 and 2lb breads. The gluten free cycle only mades the 1.5 size but when I make Pamela's bread (love it!) I use the regular cycle (suggested on the package) and makes a wonderful 2lb loaf. I ordered from Lame Advertisement and got free shipping. It does have only one paddle but works very well. I also use the dough cycle to make my pizza dough.

oops! realized I couldn't say where I ordered after posting. You will find good deals for it by just doing a search for breadman pro. Good luck on whatever you decide.

I have the Cuisinart....this is my first bread machine and I love it. I have only had it about a month which is as long as I have been gluten free. It does only have 1 paddle, there are 3 bread sizes (1, 1.5, 2lb). I think the gluten free cycle works great...I just need to find a good gluten free bread mix :P

When you make breads at home, I'm sure they taste better than the store bought gluten free breads, which i personally hate... but how good are they? Are they actually comparable to real bread in any way? I really hate the store bought breads that I've tried and I don't know if its because they don't taste fresh or what the problem is. I need to try fresh gluten free bread I guess!

Wish there were a response to this question. I think a couple people indicated the bread machine breads are better. Anyone? How much do those mixes cost? Aren't they about the same as buying gluten-free bread pre-made, if not more? So far I'm used to not eating any bread anymore so I might be best off that way - pre-soaked, cooked whole gluten-free grains only. But the bread machine idea sounds tempting ...

My son was just dx last friday, I have ripped apart my kitchen to make room for his food and special areas he knows are safe since we are just learning and I want him to have some independence. I took out my bread machine from ages ago thinking homemade had to be better than the gluten free-brick I just bought at the store saturday. Question #1. -even if I wash the container will I still have cc? If so I will look into a new machine.

question # 2 are there bread mixes available out there , and what types of non-gluten flour works best for making bread in these machines? thanks so much, so far the transition has been rough and I am afraid my son is not eating enough of the foods he can eat and he can't afford to lose anymore weight.

There are lots of different mixes available. I'm not sure about the CC with the old machine... not sure I would take the chance... does the dough touch anywhere except the pan? Is it possible that flour dropped anywhere in the machine except in the pan? Anyway I have had pretty good luck with my Zojirushi and mixes by Gluten-Free Pantry. You will find that the bread is fabulous when it is fresh (a little crumbly) keep farely well if you freeze it and makes better toast than bread. (I eat it as toast with eggs and have yet to try grilled cheese or a toasted sandwich but I think it will work well.) You can also find gluten free bread in the freezer section of some specialty stores that is pretty good too... again I have only toasted it, since I am not much of a sandwich lover anyway. That brand is kinnikinnick. Also Namaste makes my favorite waffel / pancake mix. Pamela's makes fantastic chocolate chunk cookies. I could go on and on with my finds so if you are looking for something in particular, let me know. Good luck, it has been less than a year for me, I am afraid I will be going through the same thing you are in the future when I have children. Beth

I ended up buying a Zojirushi and love it, I did not want to take a chance w/ cc. I used a french bread mix, alot went uneating-since it is only my son, but I used the rest for bread crumbs for meatballs and they came out great!! thanks

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
