I'd like to start baking bread from scratch and obviously will need a bread maker. I just saw this one on Amazon with a built-in gluten-free cycle. Is this a gimic or does it actually work?

Has anyone used this one, or can recommend a bread maker that isn't too fancy and user-friendly?

Thanks,

Adam

I have the cusinart bread maker that also has a gluten-free cycle. I like it but have only tried mixes in it. My only complaint is that you have to keep it on light crust (not medium or dark) otherwise it burns the bread.

How is the gluten free bread cycle different? I just use a regular bread maker (not a really expensive model) and I think my bread turns out great. It smells great and tastes okay. I can even use it to make sandwiches that don't have to be toasted. The crust does get a little brown... but that is okay. There is a control on it for light crust though I haven't tried it yet. I have made both yeast and quick breads in it. My husband got me one for my birthday as the old one had been glutened.

I can't believe it..i was going to get this one today

the Breadman TR875 2lb w/ gluten-free cycle sounds good.

wish there were others who had purchased it so we'd know for sure.

the consumer report said it was ok.

my chrio was trying to get me to get one as they are cheaper now.

I don't have alot of kitchen shace, none actually..

so need a small on.

She was saying that at $7 to $8 a loaf w/12 slices of gross bread would pay for itself after maybe 10 loaves

of bread :lol:

think there was a c/o for $20 off anything in bedbath and beyond

if it hasn't expired.

Hi,

We have tried all sorts of bread makers and have found the Zojirushi to be the best. It cooks the bread all the way through without burning it (a problem in some). You just put the ingredients in it and forget about it. We make bread from scratch, plus use prepared mixes such as Bob's Red Mill, Pamela's etc. We also make multiple loaves of bread in the oven, hamburger and hot dog buns and cinnamon rolls, all from the same mixes. The Zojirush is more expensive but it will out last other machines, including the non stick finish on the pan and 2 bread mixer blades on the bottom. It makes a nice large loaf that looks, tastes and feels like a normal loaf of bread. I put all the ingredients into the machine, push one button (it hold your settings in its memory) and when its done take it out. I then put it upside down on a cooling rack, where it pops out (after manipulating the 2 mixer blades on the bottom just a little). When its totally cooled I slice it and put it into freezer bags, maybe 4 slices at a time to take out and use when needed. It keeps longer this way, as gluten free bread is always the best the day it is baked. Oh yes,.. that is.. I put what is "left of the bread" the day I bake it if our 18 year old son is home. :) It has a way of disappearing really fast if he smells the bread. :)

There are many bread machines that will make gluten free bread just fine, but I really think for the long haul, meaning what is more economical, lasts the longest, holds up the best, is easy to use, makes great bread-every time, the Zojirushi pays off the best. I have had experiences with other machines where they didn't mix well and I had to actually mix the bread before putting it into the machine, reset and turn on the bake time again (every time) after it was done because the bread wasn't done in the middle (falls in the middle when you cool it), overflowed into the machine as it was rising, burn the bread (because baking pan was too thin), etc. and etc. Our opinion is that the Zojirushi is worth the extra money and even having to save up for a time to get it if need be. I wonder if they know how many gluten free bread bakers love their machine? Hope this helps.

Just another vote for the Zojirushi - we love it. The best price for it, I found, was on Amazon.

i recommend the zojirushi too. i bought the zojirushi about three weeks ago after it being highly recommended here and I LOVE it. its super super easy to use, i just dump the bread out and freeze in ziploc bags like another poster. i have never owned any other bread maker but have a friend with the cuisinart and she wants the Zojirushi after just six months her cuisinart is giving her issues....

zojirushi plus pamelas amazing bread (sweet recipe) mix is delicious!! it taste as close to honey wheat as anything i have tried so far :)

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
