Need White Bread Recipe

[AnnieMarie]

Hello Everyone,

As the start of school is quickly approaching, I am still nervous about being able to provide a satifactory lunch for my son.

I know that I can pack things like Hormal Chilli, and Dinty Moore beef stew, but my 12 yr. old leaves for school about 7:15 and does not return home again untill 4:45- 5:00. He plays soccer after school.

The truth is making a cold lunch that includes a sandwich is not only easier it is also what my son is going to preferr.

I have tried a lot of bread reipes (I don't own a bread machine ,yet) but they all seem to end up with that same "texture". Somehow no matter what flours I seem to use I don't know how to achieve the "pliability" that white bread has.

My sons favorite sandwich is peanut butter, no jelly. He has taken it almost every day for 2 yrs. Talk about a food jag!!!!!! If I tried this on the current gluten free breads that would be a very dry sandwich, also if it had to be toasted I can't see it holding up untill school lunch time.

A friend of mine I met here gave me a great hamburger and hot dog roll recipe that me and my son are very pleased with, so I am hoping to get lucky with a bread recipe.

Oh, hey, this is a tough one. I find I can't make anything as good as my local bakery makes and they won't give me the recipe! But have you tried the cornstarch bread in the Bette Hagman book? It's good for one day....very soft and "wonder bread" like. And it can be made with a regular hand mixer from easy to find ingredients. After the first day though, you have to freeze it. I then nuke it for 20 seconds and slather on my peanut butter at work. Not so easy for your son.

I really hope someone answers this call and posts a good recipe. I'm just as desperate!

Would you be willing to post your hamburger/hotdog bun recipe?

Hey, My son eats pb sandwiches almost exclusively as well! He can't stand jelly. I know you said you've tried gluten-free breads and weren't happy with them, but I have to tell you... We use the kinnikinnick white tapioca rice breads and they are fine. Not only fine, but very good. I lightly toast them in the morning, make the sandwiches put them in a baggie. My 10 year old has been taking turkey, lettuce, mayo sandwiches to camp all summer on Kinnikinnick and says it's great. I like the kinnikinnick bread because it's thin enough to bite through, and large enough to make a filling sandwich on. For my 7 year old son, I usually make a half a sandwich and suppliment with fruit, pretzels, etc. I cannot stress enough that this bread has made my life completely easy now. I'd still be struggling with this diet if I didn't have this bread. For a weird sandwich idea, my daughter likes the Lifestream buckwheat wildberry waffles with peanut butter and jelly. I haven't sent that concoction to school, so I don't know how it would hold up...but a waffle sandwich is an idea you may not have considered...for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the posts, but I have tried the kinnikinnik bread and he does not like that one either. I find it to be very good, but it is not like your ordinary wonder bread.

He will eat the homemade breads when they come out of the oven and are still warm, after that he does not like the smell or the taste.

No Sandra I do not own that book but it must be very good, I see a lot of people referring to it.

I will get that recipe to you as soon as possible, I have 2 children leaving for college this week . Our lives are crazy right now You will be impressed because the rolls turn out similiar to what you were used to pre celiac. They are soft and freeze well.

Thank you! I would appreciate it, especially if they freeze. I will forward you the cornstarch bread recipe so you can try it once atleast and see if it does the trick. It's my favorite PB & J recipe. Sandra

I tried the Gluten Free Pantry's Sandwich Bread and it wasn't bad. It's MUCH better than their French Bread. My aunt made a loaf of this in her bread machine, hollowed out the inside, filled with ham, turkey, roast beef, swiss, tomatoes, onions, peppers and Italian dressing, put the top back on, wrapped it up and we took it on a picnic when our hubbys went fishing. We just sliced out big hunks of it. It was quite good.
