I made my first batch of gluten-free bread last night and it was...ok. Does anyone have a good brad recipe for a bread machine or a recommendation on a bread mix? I used Bob's Red Mill. Thanks.

Open Original Shared Link That is my own recipe (and my own page on recipezaar). Everyone who has tried it has had it turn out. I highly recommend - tastes real.

If you do a search on this forum for bread mixes or bread recipes you'll find a lot of great suggestions. Two of the more popular mixes seem to be Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread mix (my personal favorite), and Manna from Anna (I think that's the name of the one I keep hearing others say is good) which I haven't tried. Gluten Free Pantry bread mix is also very popular, and I have tried that one.

You'll probably want to search the forums and then try a few mixes/recipes to find the one(s) that will become your personal favorites.

Laurie, I'm very excited about trying your recipe but I have a couple of questions:

1. What gluten free flour do you use (just any old one, or do you use a certain blend)

2. Is the water / milk supposed to be warm? (I've never made a bread where the yeast

wasn't mixed with the warm liquid to proof first)

I guess that's it! Please let me know!!!

Hi Mamatide,

I'm allergic to rice and buckwheat myself, so when I make it for me, I either use an amaranth (mostly) mix with a little bit of garfava and quinoa, or some of Bob's All Purpose. I don't really measure... I just measure the correct amount total, and mix them all together. When I make it for others, sometimes I throw in some brown rice flour or buckwheat because they are both a little.. ahem.. cheaper. :)

The water/milk I do at room temperature, a little warm. However, I posted that recipe without writing that (thanks for the info!) and others have emailed me about it with success, so I wonder if it works either way? I would do the yeast as per normal though!

Have fun!

I'm new to gluten-free baking, too. I've tried to make several breads, but the only one that is very good is Bette Hagman's French bread. The others just are not that good. From reading everyone's posts, it seems that you really need to add amaranth or teff or one of the more exotic flours to get a quality loaf of bread. Is that the only way to get a really good loaf of bread? You stated that you don't measure. How much amaranth (by percentage) flour do you put in a standard gluten-free bread recipe?

I use higher end grains like teff and amaranth because they are healthier, and in my opinion, taste better. I am also allergic to rice.

I love the amaranth taste, so generally, I use 1/2 amaranth, then split the other half among two others.

Well, I just took the bread from the oven and it smells wonderful! I used an all-purpose mix I had here (rice,corn mostly) and since I don't have garfava I added sorghum... We'll see how it tastes. I think the AP flour I had has some Xantham gum in it - which might explain why the batter was so thick.

Is it supposed to be quite thick? Your instructions say to "pour" it - no chance but I did spread it out and it did rise and cook in the required times.

I'll let you know in the morning how it turned out...

Thanks!

      New Study Finds 1 in 10 Celiac Patients May Have Additional Autoimmune Disorders (+Video)

      Kinda glad I read this and some related materials. My celiac symptoms seem mild and I sometimes question if the hassle of the gluten-free diet/lifestyle is worth it for mild symptoms. This is one of the answers to that. gluten-free diet can delay onset/progression of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, but cannot reverse it.

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat...

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
