Does anyone have a good sandwich type bread recipe (not a sweet bread like banana or pumpkin) that doesn't use yeast? I'm a little intimidated by the whole yeast thing!

How about starting with a gluten-free bread mix to get a feel for it? It might be easier for you. Gluten Free Pantry has a sandwich bread that's not bad and King Arthur Flour has a bread mix, too.

Edit: I know there are others, too, like Bob's Red Mill but some people don't care for the bean flour in it.

Here's one I just found, it's for a flat bread. I was actually looking for one that's very similar on the same website that I'd found a little while back, but this one has similar proportions. The other one I found used 1 cup of rice flour (I use a combo of brown and white rice flour), and 1/2 cup corn (or other) starch. In place of baking powder, I used 1/2 t baking soda and 2 t rice vinegar as I'm avoiding baking powder. It worked fine!

As for a loaf pan bread without yeast, I haven't gotten there yet, but this flat bread is pretty good!

I just thought of another recipe for Yeast-Free Sandwich Bread by Jules Shepard. I've never tried it but it sounds good although it does contain several ingredients you may or may not have. Is this what you might have had in mind?

It is - I'm thinking something that relies on baking soda or powder for the "lift" rather than yeast. I don't know why I'm so chicken about the whole yeast thing ... I think part of it is b/c gluten free ingredients are so expensive I worry more about cooking disasters.

That particular recipe contains both baking powder and baking soda...along with a bunch of ingredients you may or may not want to buy especially not knowing if you'll really like the bread.

Do you have a stand mixer? I don't think I could bake gluten-free yeast bread without mine. Really, yeast is nothing to be feared (spoken by someone who's baked a few bricks) laugh.gif I still think your best bet is to buy a mix as it includes all the flours/starches and packet of yeast). The Gluten-Free Pantry sandwich bread mix, for example, isn't expensive compared to buying a bunch of flours and starches.

Lisa Lundy has roll recipes in her book that call for baking powder instead of yeast. There is one that we really like. I just looked and I didn't see any loaf recipes however. The book has a really long title -- The Super Allergy Girl Gluten-Free, Casein-Free, Nut-Free Allergy & Celiac Cookbook From a Mother Who Knows. She has some different recipes because of all the restrictions she cooks with, but the ones I have tried work and taste good.

The only baking powder I know of which can provide enough rise in gluten-free bread is one based on Sodium Acid pyrophosphate. One such baking powder is the one from Bob's Red Mill. This type waits for the dough to get hot in the oven, so it won't fizzle out on you like the typical kind. Rumford's will essentially use up all it's fizz in the mixing bowl, so you won't get a full rise in the oven.

However, as was stated in an earlier post, there's no need to feel intimidated by yeast. And all the regular brands of baking yeast I've seen are gluten-free anyway, so you do not need to buy something special or expensive. Truly, this would yield a bread more like the sandwich type you're looking for, than any bread leavened with baking powder I know of. Both in flavor and texture.

Incidentally, if you're uneasy about baking bread altogether, I suppose you could try pancakes as a sandwich bread. Just don't make them sweet, or cinnamon flavored, etc. You won't need to add any milk, fat or oil either. No xanthan required, although a tiny bit may work. The amount of xanthan called for in most breads would get you a very gooey mess! Essentially just flour, baking powder, and water is all you'd need (ok, probably some salt too). I suppose you could even add some yeast to make the flavor more like sandwich bread too. Also, some flours which wouldn't ordinarily make a good pancake because it'd turn out to tough, would actually make a good "sandwich pancake", as it would hold together better. Not sure if egg would help, but since I don't use egg in pancakes (or anything else), I know it'd work without that too. If the shape is important to you, perhaps a rectangular (or other) "egg ring" would constrain the batter to the shape you desire. This certainly wouldn't have the structure of a yeast-risen bread, but it would be relatively quick and easy.

      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.
