Very Good Bread Recipe

[mommyofceliacboys]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some good bread recipes. I'm tired of brown bread, and some of the recipes I've tried, well, just don't cut it.

SO I figured I would ask all of you experienced folks what bread recipes do you use and if you all wouldn't mind sharing.

I would greatly appreciate it (and so would my kids!)

Thanks,

Monica

Hi Monica,

how adventurous do you want to be, if you want something that comes out of a packet well that counts me out.

I only use naturally Gluten Free ingredients and bake from 'scratch. (I don't use Codex, I'm allergic to wheat)

Here is one of my breads Open Original Shared Link there are others on my Web Space (Access via Profile)

P.S. scroll down the RHS of the site to find a Gram convertor (converts grams to US Cup and spoon).

Hi Monica

I really like The Gluten Free Pantry French Bread. It comes as a mix that you can either make in a breadmaker, or in the oven.

What flours do you use for "brown" bread? Most of the recipes I like call for flax meal, which does make the bread more brownish, but I'm not sure what you meant by "brown?"

Hi Fiddle-Faddle,

You can use Buckwheat flour to achieve a brownish bread or add 'Rice Bran' AKA Rice Polish.

Here's a brown bread recipe, it's for Open Original Shared Link

have you tried lorka's famous flax bread? i love it! i've made it several times, and can't keep it in my freezer! seriously the best bread i've made since going gluten-free. you can see some pictures of my loaves on my web site (see profile). and here's the link to the thread for the bread:

Open Original Shared Link

good luck finding something you can enjoy!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. My question was meant for Monica--I wanted to know what flours she is currently using for her brown bread that she is so tired of, so that whatever recipe I suggested wouldn't be more of the same.

I agree about Lorka's flax bread even though I only made it once. My problem is my propane type oven quit so I use a convection oven. Also I don't have a stand mixer yet nor a gluten-free type bread machine. So I am limited. However I saw a recipe for french bread that I am going to make only 1/2 of a recipe today that only takes an hour to rise and bake. It makes 2 loaves. There were 40 comments on how good it is. One comment said to make hamburger buns so I am going to try that to. Found on recipezaar #180306. I will try to let you know if it was good.

Sorry. I guess I shoud have been more specific. The brown bread I'm talking about it the Kinnickinnick Brown bread.

Anyway, I'm open to any suggestions. I'll try baking from scratch or out of a box. I'm just trying to get a variety of breads to be able to use.

Thanka all!

This is a very easy, quick (READY IN LESS THAN 1 HOUR), delicious bread--my kids scarf it down, gluten-free or not. I bake it in an 8" x 8" square pan, and then cut it into 6 small rectangles, which I then split to make kid-size sandwiches. It's kind of like a focaccia, and you could easily turn it into focaccia by adding basil, garlic, cheese, etc.

I think it's nearly as good as Lorka's flax bread, mentioned above, but much, much faster and easier. Hers is the best, though!

If you are dairy free, you can use soy or rice milk with a tablespoon of vinegar instead of buttermilk.

If you don't have a gluten-free flour replacer, use 1/2 cup brown rice flour (Bob's Red Mill is fine). 1/2 cup potato starch (or corn starch or tapioca starch or any combination of the 3) and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum.

QUICKIE FLAX BREAD

Servings: 8

Active Prep Time: 5 - 10 minutes (depending on how organized you are in your kitchen )

Cooking Time: 16-20 minutes, 10 minutes cooling time

1/4 cup flaxmeal

3/4 cup gluten-free flour replacement (I use Betterbatter)

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1 heaping tsp yeast (for flavor, not for rising)

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 Tbsp. sugar

3/4 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt plus 1/4 cup milk)

1 large egg

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (canola works, too)

PAM, or similar cooking spray (make sure it's gluten-free)

Cornmeal for dusting pan (optional)

Preheat the oven to 450

Thanks fiddlefaddle! i'm gonna give this a try

So easy you could have fresh bread every day.

great idea!

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I usually make 2 loaves at once, so that it lasts for a few days. I measure out the dry ingredients into 2 separate bowls, and the wet ingredients into 2 separate measuring cups, because it's awfully hard to separate the sticky batter evenly once it's mixed.

I also measure out the dry ingredients ahead of time, and store them in ziploc bags, so that all I have to do is grab a bag, add wet ingredients, and bake.

Ok, you gotta try this bread #180306. It was sooo like french bread. Crusty crust and soft middle. This is only my second loaf of gluten-free bread ever. My husband loved it. I posted my comments on recipezaar for June 21st. One comment there said she made pizza crust with it. Mine shrank while baking but that could easily be my fault. I will make it again to see how it turns out next time. I just sliced the ends for bread stick samples and put butter and garlic spread on them. Then I sliced the rest like a submarine bun. Great for a hamburger or a sliced hotdog b/c it would hold up and not get soggy. I also made 2 rolls out of some of the dough...perfect. I might add some basil and use garlic salt next time. Oh, I should try making breadsticks out of a loaf and dipping them in my favorite spaghetti sauce-Prego, or dip in soup, ya!

yay! will have to try this one too

[home-based-mom]

There are tons of bread recipes over at the Bob's Red Mill web site, and many of them are gluten free. As soon as this infernal heat wave is over, I plan on trying the one for Potato Quick Bread. It sounds really quick and easy and tasty.

This is a great recipe! It was my first successful (mostly) gluten free yeast bread. I'm not gluten-free (my DD is), and I really think it really tasted like french bread. DD liked it for mini pizzas. We also made great french toast with it...the texture holds up much better than other gluten-free bread that falls apart when wet. I also made garlic butter croutons as suggested by a reviewer on recipezaar, they were so good. I added a few tablespoons of flax seed meal and I split the batter into two loaves. It was slightly gummy in the middle, but browend on the outside, so I think I'll cover with foil toward the end and cook an extra 5-10 minutes next time. I definitely recommend it!

good to know

Sometimes I add caraway seeds so it tastes like "rye" bread. I first put the seeds in the water while I mix the dry ingredients, which seems to help intensify the flavor.

I also like making cinnamon raisin bread, so that can be nice if you aren't looking only for breads to use for sandwiches, along with zucchini bread, sweet potato bread, carrot cake, pumpkin bread, etc.
