Pamela's Bread Mix -- Your Favorite Uses?

I just bought Pamela's bread mix for the first time, and am excited to have found a gluten-free, df, sf bread mix. There are so many recipes on the bag. I was wondering which one others like best. I'm trying to decide what to make first. (I won't be making the cheese bread, since I cook without dairy and soy)

Thanks for your feedback!

We love the pizza recipe on the side of the bag. Even DH, who doesn't have to eat gluten-free, says it is very good! I now order this in bulk from Amazon b/c it is so much cheaper that way.

I like the pizza recipe too.

Another good mix is Anna's bread mix. I get gluten-free, SF, CF, DF mix. You can use the bread machine or do it by hand. Both ways are easy although I haven't always had good luck with my bread maker.

My kids LOVE the Anna's banana bread mix.

www.123glutenfree.com has the best brownie and cake mixes EVER!!! I started out ordering them but then a local HFS started carrying some of the mixes.

I used Pamela's bread mix to make pie crust (recipe on bag) and I thought it was very good. :)

Thanks for all of the tips! Last night I used the Pamela's bread mix to make rolls. They were wonderful! I couldn't believe how nice the texture was, and how easy the recipe was. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know if I'd like the sorghum flour that's in the mix, but I thought it tasted good. My husband, who can eat anything, liked the rolls a lot.

I'm particularly eager to use the new mix for pizza crust. Until now, I've used the gluten-free Pantry's French Bread and Pizza Mix for that, and I like it, but it is more like bread than pizza....

I don't think I've ever seen Anna's mixes. I'll look them up. Thanks for the tip!

We love Pamela's! I make waffles, pancakes, banana bread and cookies with it. And once you fall in love with it :P be sure to check it out at Amazon. It's much cheaper than in the store.

Good luck!

It's really easy, I just made some a few weeks ago for my family and they disappeared in 5 minutes once they came out of the oven :lol:

I simply modified this recipe:

Open Original Shared Link

This recipe calls for frozen bread dough that is thawed out and you just replace it with the Pamela's Bread Mix dough.

I didn't add the hazlenuts or the cloves, and I didn't make the mascarpone frosting. You can serve them plain or drizzle with a little powdered sugar glaze or even frost with cream cheese icing.

You will need in addition to the recipe ingredients a bag of white rice flour and of course the Pamela's Bread Mix.

Butter your dish and then mix together the sugar cinnamon mixture according to recipe. Make up the dough according to the package directions (the non bread maker directions).

Flour your work surface generously with the white rice flour and scoop out the dough onto the work surface with a spatula.

The dough is VERY sticky, so you will need to keep sprinkling the dough and the work surface with the white rice flour in order to work with it.

With your hands kind of pat the dough and form into a bread loaf shape.

Then roll it out with your rolling pin according to the recipe directions (I think it's a 9" x 12" rectangle).

Follow the recipe from here. (brush with butter, sprinkle the sugar cinnamon mixture, roll, cut, and put in buttered dish, cover to let rise, bake)

Tip* Make sure you flour under the dough before you roll it out, and when you are rolling it up into the jellyroll it might stick so I use a knife or a metal spatula to slide under the dough as I go to help it along.

It took me a few tries to get a hang of the dough and to perfect the technique.

The gluten-free dough won't raise all that much when you let it set in the pan for the 45 minutes, but they really rise when they are baking.

It makes the most fluffy, doughy, heavenly cinnamon rolls imo :)

I've used Pamela's bread mix or Bob Redmill bread mix to make pizza (I don't follow a recipe). I place my pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 450 F. I add some to a bowl, add enough water to make it into a ball and roll it out using more mix if it gets too sticky. I put corn meal on a pizza peel and put the crust on then add my toppings ( my favourite toppings are spinach, roasted garlic, carmelized onions a sprinkling of thyme and oregano and lots of feta cheese). Transfer pizza onto stone and bake for about 10 minutes until topping is nice and bubbly and crust is cooked and crisp (can you tell I like a thin crisp crust).

I discovered making pizza this way from a pizza place in Victoria, BC called The Joint. They make a gluten free pizza and couldn't give me the recipe because it is commercially made for them but said that Bob's RedMill came the closest to what they use but I discovered that Pamela's works equally well.

Thank you Juliem! I am not by any means a baker...but I will give this a try. Prior to being dx w/celiac disease, my husband and son (once a month) would sit down to a breakfast of a roll of 8 Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls and milk and my DH really misses it.

I also found a Chebe cinnamon-something mix and I should try that as well.

Thanks again!

      Wow!! Scott, Trent and Christiana thank you so much for your fast replies!! The information you have shared with me has helped me tremendously.   Thank you for all the articles.  I appreciate you all so much!! I’ll keep you posted in this post.  I will encourage her to get tested.  I feel a little better!

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.
