Help Programing Zojirushi X20 Bread Machine

GFMomma

Recommended Posts

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. :)

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
