The Best Gf Bread Ever!

I think someone already posted about this, but it deserves a second airing! I just made a loaf of gluten (and dairy) free bread from a mix by Breads From Anna. This bread is amazing. The texture is exactly like real bread, it's chewy and stretchy and light. Tastes fantastic. Next time I think I will replace the olive oil with (DF) butter and maybe substitute salt for the sugar (or just add some extra salt) - but that's my English tastebuds. American wheat bread always tasted too sweet to me anyway.

I feel like a whole new world has opened up! Only downside is, I think my Paleo diet just became extinct! :lol:

Oh yeah, here's the link: Open Original Shared Link

It's not cheap, but god is it worth it!

I have been raving about this bread for a year, I love it! It is better then some gluten breads in my book. I do mine in a bread maching but I keep wanting to try it in a french bread roll so I can then make crostini out of it and use it for dipping in olive oil, garlic and red peppers. Yum.

I am certain I am her best customer! I buy it by the case (the regular mix) and make it into loaves. I slice it with my handy-dandy knife that cuts uniform slices and freeze them in packets of 2 for sammies to take to work. I also make it in English Muffin rounds for rolls.

Anna (with whom I've emailed) said it makes great pizza crusts too, but I've not tried that.

It was the ONE terrific find that took away all my feelings of deprivation at having to follow a gluten-free diet.

I agree, Anna's breads are a gift from heaven. I use the regular bread mix. I am lucky, as I can buy the mix locally and bake two loaves with the one bag of mix. It is much cheaper than buying a loaf of that disgusting gluten-free bread they sell in the freezer in specialty stores! If Anna (who lives in Iowa) were here right now, I would give her a big hug and kiss!!! :D

Dear Luvs2eat:

Can you share Anna's email address with me? I would love to tell her how much she is brightening the lives of Celiacs. Thanks.

glutenrevolution@eathlink.net is her address. Also, she is about to introduce a new gluten-free pie crust very soon. I'm so excited! :rolleyes:

Good timing - I just made my first loaf last night. I bought it over 6 months ago but finally hauled out my bread machine. It IS awesome! I was emailing with Anna today, too, because on her website, all of the mixes have potato starch in them, but the one I made last night didn't. She looked into it and the regular one does not have potato starch - the website is in error. Just in case anyone else is nightshade-intolerant like me.

I had the best chicken salad sandwich today, and didn't even have to toast the bread! I hope I can handle the cornstarch and the bean content because I would have to have to give up this bread. Looking at my checking account - can I buy a case right now???

PS on edit - most amazinig was the fact I didn't have to fish out my bread machine's paddle before the second kneading cycle, like I have read to do with so many gluten-free bread recipes... ahhhhh, just pushed a button and it went!

this might be a dumb question -- but can you also make the mix with a mixer (i.e. without the bread machine)? i don't have a bread machine; actually, i don't have the mixer yet either, but i'm hoping Santa will be good to me this year! i need fresh bread. :(

Sure you can, my mom mixes it by hand and bakes it in the oven. I will say the texture of hers is a bit different then mine but the taste is the same. I would think with a mixer it would be more "mixed up" like the cycle in my bread machine (as opposed to my moms hand mixing) and would be more like the consistancy of mine.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
