Awesome Bread Machine!

I just made my 1st loaf of gluten-free bread this weekend & it was FABULOUS!! :D I found out that my bread machine even has gluten-free recipes in it (added bonus) and it made a nice, large loaf of bread. I love Udi's but it's the smallest bread I've ever seen. I used Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful bread mix & I love the way it turned out. Some of the slices of bread (and the ends) weren't all that pretty so I made bread crumbs out of those to use later. The bread machine I have is West Bend 41300 Hi-Rise model that I got from Bed, Bath & Beyond but there's a pretty good price on Amazon for it HERE. I will be making all my own bread from now on!! Yum yum yum!

i was just about to start a topic asking what a good bread maker is to invest in? I will check this one out for sure as I will be making my own from now on. Bread is way to small at a way to big of a price tag to not make my own!

Gluten-free bread has always been a challenge for a lot of us. I'm still experimenting to make a *perfect* loaf.

There have been some recent threads regarding bread machines. Near the upper right corner there is a google button...type in bread machines and I'll bet several will come up.

Bob's is the only bread mix I've tried so far. Anyone tried any other ones? I'm trying to decide which I like best so I can buy in bulk online & get a discount.

I've only tried Bob's (the not-so-wonderful homemade bread mix as well as the raisin bread). I've heard good things about Gluten Free Pantry and also the Open Original Shared Link. I bought a pkg. of King Arthur but haven't tried it yet. Thus far I prefer to playing around with my own flours/starches and experimenting with making my own bread from scratch.

Sylvia- sorry if you've posted this elsewhere, but have you come up with your own flour blend? Will you share, if so?

Lilu, there are as many flour blends as there are cookbook authors. Recently I've been using Jules Shepard's Free For All Cooking book and her all-purpose flour, which is already mixed. It's the first time I bought an already mixed flour. I think her flour is probably the same as her Open Original Shared Link from her earlier cookbook. You can pull up Open Original Shared Link and she shares a lot of recipes. She's also active on Open Original Shared Link

Another cookbook I like is Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts. She also has a similarly titled book for bread machine recipes if you have one. From what I've tried so far, her recipes usually turn out well for me. I am hung up on bread so that's what I'm usually looking for in a cookbook.

Right now those are my go-to cookbooks and the ones I use the most.

Open Original Shared Link also has an already mixed flour. I bought it but haven't used it yet nor have I tried their bread mix but have a package of it in my pantry. I'm not usually into bread mixes.

Hope this helps a bit. I know others have their own preferred flour mixes they make themselves and/or already mixed flours they buy.

Sylvia,

Thanks for the information. I signed up for Jules's News letter, and asked some questions on her blog. If she can help cut a recipe down to 4 rolls instead of large amount, I'm sold!

I don

Sylvia,

I don't need 16 Hamburger rolls at a time!

Did she send you a special introductory offer to try her flour with a couple of free e-books? If not, I'm sure you'll get one.

For the hamburger buns, I simply cut the recipe in half the first time I tried it and got 6 buns from it. I actually used a regular size spring-loaded ice cream scoop and a muffin top pan although I'm sure you could use a baking sheet. I put an ice cream scoop of dough in the muffin top pan, flattened and shaped it a bit. Made a bun the size I like it (not humongous). I found the recipe to be a bit wet so have been fiddling around with the ingredients.

Her pizza crust recipe is really good, too, and has been my go-to recipe lately. Since I prefer a slightly thinner crust, I use a 14" pizza pan instead of 12". Cute video on her blog about making it.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
