Hi there,

I too got a bread machine for Christmas, the Breadman TR2500BC (Ultimate Plus) Which has a gluten free cycle on it.

I made a loaf of Pamela's Wheat Free bread today, (just to get the feel of the machine before I got too fancy with all those flours and mixing.)

I set it for gluten free, The whole deal took 1:19 minutes. And my bread really isn't cooked all the way through.

I have thrown i back into bake mode to cook it longer but I really don't know what I will end up with. In the future, how do I determine the time I need to cook it for in the breadman for Pamela's mixes, I also bought the Gluten-Free Pantry one just to try that one out at a later time...

Any tips from Breadman experts out there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cindy

Well, I guess I can just post a response to my own question. :P

I emailed Pamelas and they responded very quickly. I just got around to trying another batch of the wheat free bread and at the suggestion of Pamelas used the -- White Bread Setting, Medium, and Rapid setting. They said since this is an 'old world' style bread the gluten setting on my Breadman wouldn't work right.

Today's loaf came out almost perfect. It still looked like it needed more time, so I put it on bake for an additional 20 minutes and that did the trick.

Now, how do I stop myself from eating the whole loaf in one sitting? I never ate bread like this prior to gluten free.. Yikes:)

I want to try my own bread making without the mixes but it all seems very confusing with all the different 'flours' out there, and every store doesn't seem to carry every ingredient so it doesn't seem to be a one stop shopping experience...

Need to tackle that next --

I haven't had much luck gluten-free with my breadman--seems like most mixes are for 2 lb loaves, and they spill over in my breadman. They are so expensive, I hate to measure 1/4 of it out and make a 1 1/2 lb loaf, so I gave up and I make Annalise Roberts' subway sandwich bread, which is delicious, but you are right, it is not a one-stop shopping experience (unless you want to grind your own millet in a coffee grinder--in that case, you can get everything at the Asian grocery store).

At any rate, I just used the regular medium setting on my breadman, and the part that didn't run over was perfectly baked and delicious.

Hi, I just got that same bread machine, and I have a question... will yours allow you to select 2lbs for the gluten-free setting? mine won't, and that doesn't make any sense because in the booklet it comes with the chart shows that it is capable of doing 2lb settings in the gluten-free cycle. It will switch to 2lb or 1.5lb on some of the other settings, but not the gluten-free. anyone else have this problem? and also, I tried the cinnamon raisin bread recipe they give using a gluten-free pantry bread mix and it came out half-cooked in the middle. I just scooped it out and used the rest, but it still grosses me out every time I force myself to have a piece of it. thanks for the tips on baking it... I'll try those next time!

Hi there,

I guess not, now that I look at it. I assumed that when I initially chose the "loaf size" button and it said 2lb that I was good to go. When I scroll down to the gluten-free setting I now see what you are saying ... that it doesn't show size. Hmmm

When I had a loaf that wasn't cooked completely, I set it to 'bake' and left it on for another 1/2 hour or so.. maybe you can try that next time.

So far I have been sticking with Pamelas Wheat Free mix.

I tried Bobs and it was gross tasting.. (sorry Bob) All I have to say is if that was my first experience with my Breadman, I would be out of business now :) Plus Bobs was overflowing, whereas, Pamela's didn't do that.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
