I just went on A... and the King's Arthur multi purpose flour is there for $9.99 per box.

keep watching A... If that is your only option as they have sales every month or so on gluten-free foods for about 25% off.

When my husband and I went shopping for the KA flour he picked out an artisan bread(gluten one) from the bakery.

I was going to make a pot of vegetable soup and we could both have bread and butter with it.

When my bread came out of the oven it looked beautiful and I was hopeful. I waited for it to cool for a while and placed it in a plastic bag while slightly warm to keep the moisture in.

Once the soup was ready I cut a couple of slices and buttered it. One taste had me hooked! I told my hubby "here..taste this". He said it was better than the artisan bread he had chosen.

To be honest with you..I didn't even want to eat soup with it. I just wanted the bread! :D

I'm thinking I'll slice up the rest of it and keep some out for eating now and freeze a couple of slices?

I purchased the King Arthur Gluten free multigrain bread mix directly from the company,and hope to try it within the next few weeks. It's still too hot where I live to bake (yes, I could turn the A/C on) but the main reason is I have little room left in the freezer. All my KA food items have turned out fantastic.

I have a quick question for anyone who might be on here right now... would it be bad if I left and let this rise for a couple of hours? I'm not a big bread maker, so I don't really know, but do know I have to leave and won't be back for that long. Thanks

I don't know how the results would be, but you can put it into the fridge. It will slows down the process.

I think someone who accidentally let it rise too long had it spill over the sides of the pan....because gluten-free bread dough is more like a "batter" than a "dough" it can't hold itself up while it's still raw. So, yes, I think there is an upper limit on how long you can let it rise....and it's probably not more than a hour/hour and a half? But it probably also depends on whether you are using regular or quick rise yeast....that would affect the timing, too.

You probably already did this but just in case, I wanted to respond. I was the one that let my bread rise for an hour. gluten-free breads are not the same as gluten breads where you can just let them rise a little longer and no harm done. gluten-free breads often will collapse once you pull them out of the oven if they rose too high during the rise time. I had this happen to my loaf and I was just using plain yeast not rapid rise or anything. It would be better ot make this bread when you are going to be home to keep an eye on it. My bread was still really good but the loaf was shorter and more compact than a "normal" loaf due to the over-rise and collapsing.

Thank you for posting this!!! I can't wait to try it!! I'm SO EXCITED!! To actually be able to have a SANDWICH?! I'm beside myself at the mere thought. And, I have a coupon for Whole Foods. Looks like I'll be buying some King Arthur!

As I'm writing this, I'm eating the last slice of this sandwich bread with earth balance margarine and 3 slices of Hormel hard salami from the second loaf that I have baked this week. Yummmmmmmy!

It's really good.

I wondered how others store this bread. I ate some while it was still warm, but saved the rest until the next day. Then I sliced it up and put it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer. Once I thawed a couple of slices it wasn't as yummy. Will still be good for grilled cheese or french toast though. I just wondered if there's a better way of keeping it?

I have really enjoyed reading this thread as well as the one about Challah by Simona. Out of respect for all those who have gone before in the bread baking saga of gluten free baking I wanted to post this link.

I think your recipe must belong at the end of this thread in light of the reviews it is getting. The Challah by Simona rates up there too from the reviews I've read.

I've never baked a loaf of gluten free bread. It wasn't worth it to me after reading the reverse engineering thread when I first got on here a year ago. I was exhausted and frustrated by the prospect of bread. :blink: But the pictures of your loaf and Simona's are very enticing. I think there might be some bread baking in this house this winter! :o;)

Thank you both.

I put it in a plastic bag and left it out overnight the first night and made sandwiches with it the next day. Then put it in the fridge. It is still good right now on day 2 in fridge. Better than most things.

Has anyone adapted this recipe to a bread machine? I'm new to gluten free and to bread machines, and can use all the advice you have.

Mine didn't last for more than two days (we ate it all the second day, lol) but I put it in a ziploc bag and just left in on the counter.

Hi Cougie! King Arthur gluten-free flour is sold in the US. They also will ship to Canada on their website. I find it in Kroger in my stores in Virginia. If you read through the entire thread I think some others gave the names of their stores where they find it. My Kroger stores stock it in the middle of the gluten flours in the baking section (it's a little box) which is really strange because my Kroger actually has a gluten-free section but they don't put the KA gluten-free flour there. :huh: I hope you can fidn it to try to make this bread. :)

I tried to make this bread with KA flour twice- delicious!! But I don't want to pay $10,69 per 1 little box of flour mix. Anyway I bought the last box in stores around me.

Yesterday I made this. I copy the recipe little and mixed some flours and the result is wow. Almost perfect, or maybe the same.

I do apologize to MerrillC1977.

She is the one who made the first good sandwich bread. Sorry.

*Make your own blend

Many of our gluten-free recipes use our King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour, which includes ingredients that reduce the grittiness sometimes found in gluten-free baked goods. Our flour also increases the shelf life of your treats, keeping them fresh longer.

The following make-at-home blend, featuring stabilized brown rice flour, works pretty well when substituted; and it tastes better than a blend using regular brown rice flour. (Ed. - you can still use regular brown rice flour)

Whisk together 6 cups (32 ounces) King Arthur stabilized brown rice flour; 2 cups (10 3/4 ounces) potato starch; and 1 cup (4 ounces) tapioca flour or tapioca starch. Store airtight at room temperature. Note: You can substitute white rice flour for the brown rice flour if you like; it'll make your baked goods grittier (unless you manage to find a finely ground version)."

Going to try this today after I go next door to get some potato starch :P

I'm in Norfolk, VA. I have found it at more than one Kroger store in this area as well as in Virginia Beach. If your Kroger carries other gluten-free products you may be able to get them to start carrying this flour too. Also you can order fromt he KA website (although that's more expensive with shipping costs)--they do ship to anywhere in the US and Canada.

I'll be looking forward to your update when you try it Mushroom! I think it would be cheaper for me to buy all the individual flours than to buy KA gluten-free flour.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
