I bought some Chebe bread mix the other day, just to try it....I'm still trying to find something I really like, and Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust Mix made into french bread was the closest I had gotten so far....but oh my gosh, I am now addicted to Chebe!!!! It's CRUSTY, like real bread, and chewy on the inside!!!! WOW!!!! I am so pleased with it. I made a bagel with some cheddar cheese in it the other day for a tuna melt, and put a pan of water under the pan with the bagel in it, it was DELICIOUS!!!!! I am thrilled to have found something so close to real bread, the feeling when I bit into it was amazing! I just had to share my joy!!! hehehehehehe

I have 2 things of it in my pantry that I have not tried yet...pizza dough and cinnamon rolls. I wish they had some fiber in them. Maybe adding some ground flax to the bottom would help. :)

Thanks for sharing. I may give them a go sometime.

The only thing I don't like is that it's kind of sticky in the middle....almost like glue? Is that normal for Chebe? I want to make sub rolls with it next....

Chebe is pretty finicky. You need exact measurements of oil and water and a consistent oven temprature to make it work. If you roll it into breadsticks it'll puff up nicely and cook all the way through.

I was using chebe for rolls for my son when we first went Gluten-free Casein-free, because my earliest yeast breads were flops. He was happy w the chebe shaped as sub rolls - i did not use cheese, kneaded in the machine a long time, added the baking soda, and they came out kinda flat and somewhat chewy in the middle. I read on this forum that you should leave them out for 24 hours, wrapped in a 'tea towel', to let them dry out before wrapping them in plastic. I did make the cinnamon rolls once, and my son LOVED them

However, since i finally got regular bread working, we havent made chebe. He much prefers the yeast rolls and breads, now.

I made a Chebe pizza crust tonight. OMG! It was fabulous, didn't have that funky gluten-free taste at all! I bought several packages of the Chebe pizza crust mix at the online site where I usually buy my books. The package says you can make breadsticks and calzone with the mix. I might have to try that next. YUM!

I can never get my Chebe right- always way too chewy.

I recently purchased Chebe frozen rolls and sandwich bread. I've never seen Chebe that you mix yourself. The frozen rolls are tiny but they taste so good after not having "real" rolls for 9 months now. They are crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. Awesome with lots of butter! The sandwich bread looks strange, not like you would think sandwich bread should look like, but it tastes similar to fancy, deli bread (I can't for the life of me think of the name) that you would get at a sandwich shop.

I made Chebe calzones the other night. They were excellent. I made two. I had one the next day for lunch. I think Chebe is better warmed up. Sometimes, after it is freshly baked, it can be a little on the chewy side. That's just tapioca flour for you. I'll say this though, tapioca flour is the closest thing to wheat flour in terms of texture and chewiness. It doesn't crumble!

We're big fans of Chebe. We usually make golf-ball size rolls and as soon as they are out of the oven, place them into a gallon-size, plastic zipper bag. They taste best after about an hour. For some reason, the moisture lock of the bag gives a little big of moisture to the outside, yet they still are "crusty" and the chewiness of the inside doesn't seem as much. We usually make them as rolls, not as subs or anything. Sometimes I make them into calzones. Yum!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I found this article very a very clear explanation of test results with example cases.  I especially liked this line at the end. "In an effort to justify why we can go against the result of a positive test, we ask “how positive is it’? It’s like getting a positive pregnancy test back and asking “how pregnant am I?” I think it answers some of your specific questions. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      What organization certifies them? I didn’t see a logo.

      Very interesting! I did not realize that. But it does seem to be a trite point whether or not the presence of gluten in a food item results from whether or not a gluten containing grain is an intentional ingredient or merely an artifact of processing. Gluten is gluten.  But to add some additional information to this discussion on Ka' Chava, I emailed them and pointed out that their ingredient list included "organic barley", a gluten-containing grain. I got a reply almost right away from someone named Jah: "Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding our ingredients. I genuinely apologize for the confusion.   We’re extra cautious about food allergies, especially gluten intolerance. So while it might be confusing to see barley grass in our ingredient list, we assure you there’s no gluten involved. Here’s the nitty-gritty.   Barley starts as grass. As the plant matures, it develops barley grain, which contains gluten. But when barley grass is harvested as a young plant—before the grain appears—it’s gluten-free. This young version of barley is what’s included in our blends, which means it’s gluten-free.   The Food and Drug Administration allows barley grass as an ingredient in gluten-free products as long as the final product contains <20 parts per million of gluten, including any gluten due to cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Ka'Chava meets these requirements and therefore is certified gluten-free." I replied to Kha and also pointed out that they actually made the advertising on their website that their products are Certified Gluten Free" which required there be less than 10ppm according to the GFCO. I sent her a link to the GFCO handbook. She seemed not to be aware that "Gluten Free" and "Certified Gluten Free" were different standards from two different organizations and she expressed appreciation for the new information.  So, I'm wondering if the GFCO, unlike the FDA, does not prohibit the use of small amounts of actual gluten containing grains in order to grant certification as long as the concentration does not attain to or exceed 10ppm. I also suggested to Jah that the company update their ingredient list to say "organic barley grass" instead of "organic barley". So, if in fact barley grass is used instead of the barley grain head in their product, they would seem to be in compliance with either the FDA regs or the GFCO regs.

      I emailed with the company today. In the FAQ's of their website they did in fact say that their product is "certified gluten free".  I asked how they could make such a claim with barley in their ingredient list. They responded explaining that their product contains barley grass which is gluten free and not barley. I proceeded to point out that their product might in fact contain barley grass but that barley is what's listed in the ingredient list on the website. Here is their response: "Thank you for your understanding and for bringing this to our attention. I completely agree that clarity in our ingredient list is essential, and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. I’ll make sure to pass your feedback along to our team to ensure that the distinction between "barley" and "barley grass" is communicated on our website. Your input is invaluable in helping us improve." I just went back to the website to try and copy and paste their language around being "certified gluten free" but it looks like that has already been taken off the site- I can't find it anymore.
