How Do I Bake My Bread?

My dad bought me a second hand bread making machine by Oster. I'm not sure how to bake the bread for a gluten-free diet. It does not have settings to make gluten-free bread, so I'm not sure what settings to enter. Do i use settings for white bread, wheat, sourdough????? How long do I bake it? Is there a web site that explains all this, with how to bake bread with a bread machine?

I have no idea on how to bake bread with a bread machine. I just want to say that it may be risky to bake with a used bread machine, since it is most likely that gluten bread was baked in it before.

Others here baked bread with bread machines and will likely have an idea what to do.

"A second hand bread machine" draws a big concern from me. It is very difficult to clean a previously owned bread machine and the chance of you being glutened by cross contamination would be great.

Thoughtful of you dad though.

My dad and I cleaned the machine throughly several times. He even removed screws and and that turny thinga-ma-jig, whatha -you -call-it :P , and other removeable items and cleaned those. The machine looks to have been used once and then gotten rid of. It's probably cleaner now than when it left the warehouse. I would of gotten a new one, but i have no money, unable to work and the parents take care of me and my dad is buying expensive meds for my Fibromyalgia. So I took a chance with the second hand bread machine.

Seeing as how thoroughly you and your dad cleaned the machine, it should be fine I think. As an extra measure of safety, why not bake the first gluten-free loaf and let your parents (and others who can eat gluten) enjoy it before you start baking for yourself. :)

I don't have any machine-baking tips--I bake my bread in the oven.

Good idea Jerseyangel. I would've used the oven except my dad is an oven hogger. He's become the family chef. :rolleyes:

I have not had a lot of luck with my bread machine and the different kinds have different settings and such. Perhaps if you could tell us specifically which one you have, someone with that kind can be of more help to you.

I do know that gluten-free bread can not take a second rise. So use whatever setting you have that doesn't do the second rise. That was my biggest mistake.

:lol: I actually did a message the other day with the type of bread machine I have. No one was replying to it, not til I left this topic and now the other is getting replies. It's an Oster by the way.

You can buy Pamela's bread mix and use the regular white bread setting. Gluten free bread doesn't need all the steps on the bread machine, but it's my understanding that it won't hurt the bread to use that regular white bread setting.

I use the white bread setting on my bread machine, but I turn the machine off after the bread is mixed well, then I let it rise for 1 hour, then turn machine back on and go to a special setting that lets me bake for 350 degrees for about 1 hr and 1o mins.

I checked out a book at my library (can't remember the name of it :P ) that told me how to bake gluten free bread in a bread machine. Very informative.

Happy experimenting--- it's not really that difficult. :)

Actually, I did think of something. I make Gluten Free Pantry French Bread regularly, and on the back of the box there are instructions on how to make it in a bread maker. Judy (judyinphilly) does hers this way.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Hopefully I'll get the bread baking right. I'm terrible at cooking. :(

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
