How Do I Bake My Bread?


SweetAmber32

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. :(

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
