Size Of A Bread Machine Loaf

I just started a gluten free diet about two weeks ago. I have a few friends with celiac disease, and they all strongly recommended baking your own bread as opposed to buying store bought. I thought it sounded like a great idea, and happened to spot a breadmaker on Craigslist, so I went at it.

I used a recipe I found on a gluten-free blog, and while the taste is GREAT, it took me a few days to figure out why I was having trouble making sandwiches. It's too wide and short. I don't think this was a problem with the bread - I think it's the size of the breadpan itself.

Do people use bread machine bread for sandwiches? Or am I just weird for not liking bread that shape? Is there a way to fix this (different sized bread pans I could buy somewhere?) or should I just bake in the oven instead? Thoughts?

Is that a used machine? It could have crumbs in the cracks from gluten bread. Not sure what it's like so I don't know how easy it is to clean thoroughly.

No, it was brand new. Not worried about that... just the size of the loaf.

What it comes down to is......We eat funny looking sandwiches.

There are myriad different recipes and bread pan shapes, both conventional and bread machine.

Matching them up so they work together is a real trip. Each gluten free flour has its own characteristics.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
