Making Own Bread

Hi all,

We are starting to go gluten free. Should be thoroughly gluten free by tomorrow (shopping today).

If you don't mind please help me figure something out...

I bought the cookbook "You Wont Believe It's Gluten Free"

Open Original Shared Link

I know when I buy gluten free bread it has to be stored in the freezer and then toasted in order to be edible (and isn't that good). In this cookbook there are recipes for bread, rolls, biscuits etc.

When making bread from scratch does it need to be stored in freezer? Is it actually possible to pack a gluten free sandwich for lunch? This would mean making sandwich rolls one day and the next day use same rolls to make sandwiches to bring into lunch that day?

thanks for your help!!!

My husband makes fantastic gluten-free bread for us and we keep it on the counter....no need to refrigerate. That way we can make sandwiches for lunch if we want without the need to de-frost or refrigerate the bread. I think that seems to be a drawback to store bought gluten-free bread. Our bread lasts for up to 6 days and remains pretty fresh for the first 3 days or so. It's only the last day or two that we might use that batch for toast in the morning.

Play around with it but keep trying because we managed to make delicious gluten-free bread after only 3-4 tries at it. There are so many variations, you won't get bored.

I live alone so find it's best to store my homemade bread in the freezer. I package it in sandwich bags with two slices per package (and they all go into a ZipLoc freezer bag).

Let us know if you find any bread recipes that turn out especially well...I'm always looking for winning bread recipes.

I'd love to make some bread! Is this possible without a breadmaker? Anyone have a good (soy, nut free) recipe?

Definitely yes! Especially if you have a stand mixer.

Here's a recipe for gluten-free French Bread, which is the first bread I made after I bought my KitchenAid mixer:

Open Original Shared Link It's gotten a lot of good reviews.

One of the best cookbooks I've bought is Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts. I've had pretty good success with making bread using her recipes.

Thanks Sylvia! That recipe looks easy enough. I'm going to check out that cookbook on Amazon.

It sure would be nice to not have to shell out 6 bucks and drive 80 miles for Udi's.

I usually store my home-made bread this way: place it in a brown paper bag, and then pop it into a plastic bag with a sealer of some kind and leave it on the counter. The paper absorbs any excess moisture which might start it molding if it sweats against the plastic.

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
