Here is my first loaf of bread with my new bread maker. This is Sorghum Flour Bread. Is the top supposed to look like that? It does taste good and my kids like eating it with butter.

In a bread maker and this is the recipe I found on this site. I just poured it all in the pan of my bread maker and it did all the mixing for me. The recipe directions is for a pan but I went with the ingredients recommended and used Bob's Red Mill Flour

Thanks. Do I need to store it in the refrigerator or can I leave it out as long as it's wrapped up?

Either is fine...but it will last longer if you completely cool it, slice it and place the slices in a zip lock bag and take out the slices as needed...

Enjoy! Don't be afraid to experiment... and have some fun with it...have the kids help, they will love it!

There is also a great blog called "The Gluten Free Homemaker" she has a great sorghum recipe too...I like to increase the sugar in this one...

It is a favorite

Gluten-Free Sorghum Bread (credit to the Gluten Free Homemaker)

Ingredients

* 1 1/3 c. sorghum flour

* 2/3 c. brown sweet rice flour ( I use white sweet rice flour)

* 1 c. tapioca starch

* 1 Tb. yeast (instant or rapid rise)

* 2 tsp. xanthan gum

* 3/4 tsp. salt

* 1 Tb. sugar ( I use about 1/4 cup white sugar)

* 1 c. water minus 2 Tb. (105-115 degrees)

* 4 eggs

* 1/4 c. oil

* 1 tsp. vinegar

Instructions

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, oil, water and vinegar. Beat with a hand mixer for several minutes (I mixed about 2 minutes so try 4). Be careful because the dough will crawl up the beaters to the mixer.

Transfer the dough to a bread machine. I made a custom setting on my machine to skip the mixing. I had it rise 30 minutes and bake 55 minutes at 336 degrees.

I wet a small silicon scraper and smooth down the top before it rises. It makes it look nicer and the slices are more even.

The bread looks great!

That looks wonderful...I must try it. My son doesn't like rice flour breads. I have found he like Gluten-Free pantry Best Sandwich bread. I do have a hard time finding it here. The last time I found it I bought 3 boxes.

This one looks good too, thank you for posting

The tops of many of my loaves of bread often look like that (sort of sunken). Most of them tasted good - but I was frustrated with why it looked so wonderful as it was cooking - then all of a sudden it would "deflate." <_<

I read that this is an indication of too much liquid. So, I have been experimenting with one recipe that I really like - and taking out a little water each time. I just made a loaf last night - and am happy to say - it did not deflate! :lol:

Now - if I can just figure out the trick to having a bread that is of taller stature! ;) I like my bread, but it is so "short". I believe this is part and parcel of gluten-free breads - but am holding out hope that eventually I can have bread that is just a bit closer in size to what I would like my sandwich bread to be.

I had those troubles too...

Just a few questions...

Do you use a breadmaker or do you use a mixer and oven method?

and what size pan do you use...if you use an over method

There is a slightly smaller pan than the usual size 9x 5

The size pan by Chicago Metallic is their 1 lb bread pan

Dimensions 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" high

this should give you a higher loaf....

Let the dough rise till just slightly above pan before baking

My directions for the loaf I am "experimenting" with are for mixer/oven method. I eventually plan to try my bread maker - but wanted to get to where I was happy with this method.

I have 9x5 bread pans. The recipe I am using actually calls for two 8x4 pans. I don't have that size - and I would definitely have short loaves if I split the bread "batter" between two 9x5 pans. My 9x5 pan is about half full when I let it rise. I do let it rise until it is just above the top edge of the pan.

I have looked for 8x4 pans at local stores (meaning Targe and WalMart ;) ) and have not seen them. I know I could get them off of Amazon - but I am trying to stay off Amazon and spending $$$. Next time I order my gluten-free Oats I think I will look up this size of bread pan and order. Would be worth it to me to have a higher loaf! Plus - I will get 2 loaves from my recipe - and I suspect that it might be "fluffier" inside as well (though I am not unhappy with my texture/taste now). :P

It could be...check your breakmaker's manual...Your machine might be able to select the length of time it bakes for a darker crust....

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
