Help Programing Zojirushi X20 Bread Machine

This is my first time ever on a blog. :rolleyes:

My new Zojirushi bread machine has 3 programable memory cycle, so that I can set up a program for baking my gluten free bread. But can anyone tell me how long to set the individual kneed, rise, bake cycles for??? I read somewhere that gluten-free bread only needs 1 kneed, and 1 rise cycle, but if I have to program the machine, I will need to know how long each one should be, and the rise cycles go up in temp from 84 degrees, to 104 in the 3 cycles that come with the regular basic cycle.

I would really appreciate some help. I am so frustrated! <_<

Thanks in advance,

GFMomma

I have the Zojirushi and make Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free bread using the "Medium" pre-programmed setting. It rises twice and the total cycle takes about 3 - 3.5 hours. The bread comes out perfect every time.

Hi,

I'm very new here, and maybe a bit late with this but...

I just got my Zojirushi and I LOVE it!!! :P . Had it 3 weeks now and have made 5 loaves of great bread. 3 gluten-free and 2 non gluten-free. (My wife is not gluten-free - bless her heart).

In any case, the program settings I have found that seem to produce the best gluten-free bread are:

Preheat 10

Knead1 20

Rise1 off

Rise2 off

Rise3 55-60

Bake 70 (or 75)

Keep Warm off

Medium Crust

This is using Bob's gluten-free Bread Mix - Either Regular or Whole Wheat

Hope this helps!

Greg

Hi Greg

I too love that Zo machine!!! But I see where you are using it for both gluten-free & gluten products. You may be glutening yourself by using it for both. I have another wonderful machine that I always made gluten breads in but after being Dx'D with celiacs I purchased the Zo just for gluten-free only......There is no way to get the machine clean of gluten particles esp. around the paddles cervices..... Wheat flour can float in the air for hours...

You may be doing yourself harm & not even realize it. Sorry for the bad news.......

My Zo bread machine is only for gluten-free baking. I thought I was being neurotic but I guess I'm not alone in worrying about switching back and forth.

I just use the basic cycle for my gluten-free mixes and it has worked fine. I also got a recipe from the company (if you call them, they can guide you through finding recipes) and used the basic setting for that, too. I have not been brave enough to customize anything.

The only time I had a problem was when I had not attached the paddles securely enough. One came out and traveled up into the bread. So one side mixed and the other side looked like the cross-section of an archeological dig. Oh, a flour layer. Oh, a mushy layer. Fascinating.

We only ate the good half. :)

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”
