Bread Machine Question

I have tried this once before, but got no responses so I figured I would try again since some time has passed.

I am the one that gripes about mainly the bread choices we have. Most everything else I can live with.

Has ANYONE here ever tried this 'Bready' machine that is advertised on the site?

Granted it isn't cheap, but it looks like even a kid could make bread with it.

I also see they have all kinds of mixes, including pizza crust.

Surely someone has bought one and has an opinion on the machine and/or the mixes! :rolleyes:

Don't blame you...it's an expensive bread machine and you have to use their own (also expensive) mixes. Have you looked at any other brands? Like the top-rated Zojirushi?

Actually Sylvia I have not.

I don't mind the price per se if it's worth it, but you filled me in on something I didn't know.

I had no idea you were 'stuck' with only their mixes,.....that is a big negative to me.

I will check out the one you mentioned. It just seemed like this thing would be SO easy to use and to clean.

It's my understanding that you have to use their own mixes...but you might want to see if you can find out more info on that.

Also, have you googled "bread machine reviews" (or something to that effect) to see if you can get any more info? I actually considered buying a bread machine early on but decided on a stand mixer instead. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with a bread machine. I just figured a mixer would be more versatile. And I don't have room for both.

I surely need to do some research needless to say. I think I got hit by the simplicity, and also it appears to make decent sized loaves as well. Even saw some nice sized buns for burgers advertised.

Seems like all of the mixes are about $6.99 so that could surely add up. Then again, I hear you 'bakers' talk about the high price of gluten-free flours so I am a bit confused! ;)

I might be better off with a mixer myself. I am actually quite a good cook, I just have never done much baking.

Yes, the flours are rather expensive but you don't need to buy 15 or 20 different kinds like I did (a bit OCD, I guess). :o And they're not usually $6.99 a bag either.

Not knowing if you have any intolerances, some can be purchased at an Asian market for about $1.00 or so a lb. If you get ahold of a good gluten-free cookbook, they usually have a flour mix that's repeated in many recipes perhaps with an addition or two. And xanthan gum is expensive but lasts a long while. It took me exactly one loaf of bread to realize that my hand mixer wasn't going to do the trick as the batter climbed the beaters. That's after I tossed a loaf of Ener-G bread in the garbage.

I don't want to discourage you from buying a bread machine as I know some people use them and like them...just be sure to research it fully before spending over $300 on one plus $6.99 a mix. Will be anxious to hear what you decide.

Still working on recipes for bread, pizza crust, etc.! Posted one awhile ago on tortilla wraps. I haven't forgotten... ;)

I have never owned a bread machine as I love to make my own but gluten-free versions take all the fun out of the kneading and such. I would be very interested if someone were to purchase one of these babies. Think I'll look into it, too...

Good one! Maybe I should. It would get my arms in better shape, too.

I really miss the art of making real bread. And the smell of it. And the stuff we can no longer put on it. Man, I had better stop this "woe is me" garbage! :D

Hey you,......where is the tortilla wrap recipe? :D

I must have missed it, or it was one of yours you said you wanted to 'refine' a bit.

I can't say "woe is me" as I'm smelling my pizza crust pre-baking. lol

Tell us what recipe you're using...right now I'm pretty pleased with Annalise Roberts but always open to experimentation.

OK - will let you know. I am now looking for recipes but may go with hers.

What are you topping yours with?

Besides the sauce, I used mushrooms, green pepper, onion, sausage and lots of mozzarella cheese. Wish I had thrown on some pepperoni and ripe olives now that I think about it. The extra pizza crust is now in the freezer. My mixer did better with a double crust.

Unless I find a recipe I like better, I think I'll put together a bigger batch of the dry ingredients (except yeast) in a container so it's ready to go.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
