Breadman With Gluten Free Pantry Bread

[sarahbella636]

Hi everyone,

I just received the Breadman TR2700 for Christmas and want to make the Gluten Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread with it. I've never used a breadmaker before so I wanted to ask the pros about this! I saw that the Gluten Free setting on the breadmaker was for a 1.5 lb. loaf instead of a 2 lb. loaf. Does anyone have any tricks on how to make the perfect loaf with the Breadman and the Sandwich Bread (whether it's choosing a different cycle that works well with a 2 lb. loaf or using the programmable features)?

Thanks!

I made it, I think I used the 2 lb loaf/gluten free setting. I wound up with a "ribbon" of undercooked bread through the center of the bread. The ends were fine, and delicious but I'm afraid to wreck another loaf! If you try it out will you post your results?

Hi there- I wound up programming additional time to the gluten free setting and it worked out well! The first knead cycle was 5 minutes, the second 15, the rise time was 20 minutes, and the bake time was 65 minutes (which I then added 5 more minutes to b/c I wanted it to brown up a little bit more). Since this was my first time making it in the breadmaker and I'm new to gluten free breads, I'm not sure what a perfect loaf was supposed to look like or taste like, but this one was really good and fully baked and my son ate it right up!

My husband thought I was ridiculous for researching how to make a gluten-free loaf of bread for hours the other night... good luck!

I've been curious about this bread machine. I have one I really like that doesn't have a gluten-free cycle but I don't usually do the entire cycle in it. I usually use it for dough or preserves. Do you think it's worth it to have one with a specific gluten-free cycle over one that doesn't?

From what I've read, the gluten-free bread doesn't need the 2nd knead cycle? That setting is specifically for the gluten-free flours. That's why we bought the Breadman.

Makes sense, thanks!

That's what I gathered too. And it doesn't need the second rise cycle too, I think.
