Chebe Bread Mix?

I am new to the gluten free diet and am actually in the process of getting my family ready to go gluten free this week. I bought a bread mix called Chebe all purpose bread mix and was wondering if it is supposed to be chewy in the middle? Did I put too much liquid in? Did I knead it too long? Did I not cook it long enough? Are all gluten free breads chewy? Please help me find good alternatives to bread. I am not a big meal planner or chef. I don't bake on a regular basis but if I can find a recipe that is easy to make then I am all for it. Thanks in advance for the info.

I don't know about Chebe mixes but it seems a lot of the gluten free breads are moist, a little to much so. <_<

The following link is to a wonderful gluten free bread recipe. We use it exclusively.

Chebe is really good if you bake it correctly. You have to make the dough really thin and make sure you bake it long enough. I've never made Chebe into an actual loaf of bread, but I wouldn't imagine it would work that way....it works well as really narrow breadsticks. The pizza crust and the foccacia are both really great too. I don't know exactly why it sometimes gets too chewy (except maybe when it's too thick), but it's worth experimenting with it a bit b/c it's really really great if it comes out right.

Chebe does have a very different texture than other gluten-free breads...

Chebe bread can be great but one trick I've learned is after baking, wrap it in a flour sack towel (or something else non-terry cloth) and let it sit in your colander for at least 12 hours so it can breath. Otherwise, the tapioca flour can go gummy and chewy. After a day or so, you can transfer it to a ziploc bag. I keep mine in the microwave so the cat doesn't get any ideas. I

My favorite so far is the link you were already given. I don't each much bread lately, but when I do it's this recipe. VERY easy to make and bake. I'm the only one eating gluten free so I usually eat half the loaf and then make bread crumbs with it after about 2 days. GREAT bread crumbs from it...use them ALL the time also.

I also like the gluten-free Pantry Sandwich bread mentioned. I don't buy that as much, but I really like to bake and cook, so it's just relearning the craft.

GOOD LUCK! :D

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will continue to experiment with the Chebe and also try to bread recipes given here. I do get a bit overwhelmed with new tasks that are different for me, especially cooking and baking, but I need to do this for my health. I really appreciate everyone's input to my question. Thanks again.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
