Bread Machines

Hi Everyone.

I'm newly diagnosed and quickly realizing if I wasnt bread I'll have to make it myself.

I've noticed that BreadMan has a machine with a gluten free cycle and the reviews on Amazon are very positive.

Before I buy one I'd like opinions from those who have been at this a lot longer than me.

Any input about baking bread (any kind as I LOVE bread) or machines would be appreciated.

thanks to all. This forum is so helpful.

Hi Lisa,

I have a Breadman TR2500BC breadmachine that has the gluten free setting on it. I've used it 3 times and it does make good gluten free bread (better than the gluten free bread you can buy at the store). I was making it for my husband (he has celiac sprue) . But he was never a big bread person before he was diagnosed(he is more of a salad, steak, potato kind of guy) so now I do not make it anymore. I've only had it about two months. I am getting ready to put it up for sale.

I have a bread machine, but it doesn't have a gluten-free setting.....FWIW, my best bread is made in the regular oven.

Hopefully others will chime in about good bread machines.

I'd be interested in your input about baking bread. What kind of flour, etc do you find works/tastes best?

Thanks,

Lisa

Thanks for your input Sue. Where did you get your machine. What is Celiac sprue? I've seen this term a few times, but this is all still fairly new to me.

Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thanks

I use Bob's Red Mill mix and follow the recipe pretty closely on the back. Except we bake it in two small loaves instead of a bigger one. Open Original Shared Link

We use the regular gluten-free flour from them and make banana bread, in small loaves, also. I've posted my banana bread recipe on the forum before....if you can't find it through a search, let me know.

We make the banana bread more often than regular bread, but that's just cause I've somewhat lost my craving for bread. I have to keep the banana bread away from my husband, he absolutely LOVES it.

We use their mix for wonderful choc chip cookies also, we add more chocolate chips though...and my picture is of BRM's chocolate cake.

BTW...Celiac, Celiac Disease, Celiac Sprue, Coeliac (the European spelling)---all the same thing. Also non-tropical sprue is Celiac.

If you purchase a bread machine most of them come with a cookbook. I know the Breadman Ultimate plus does it has gluten free recipes in there and they tell you what kind of flour to use.

Have you used Pamela's baking mix? I have read many places on the IN that it is a good one too.

So, you don't make reg bread, like for sandwhiches, etc? That is something that is hard for me to give up.

Non-tropical sprue?? Boy, this is all a whole new world.

Thanks for your replies.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      By trents · Posted

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      Gluten free vitamins

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
