Awesome Bread Machine!

I just made my 1st loaf of gluten-free bread this weekend & it was FABULOUS!! :D I found out that my bread machine even has gluten-free recipes in it (added bonus) and it made a nice, large loaf of bread. I love Udi's but it's the smallest bread I've ever seen. I used Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful bread mix & I love the way it turned out. Some of the slices of bread (and the ends) weren't all that pretty so I made bread crumbs out of those to use later. The bread machine I have is West Bend 41300 Hi-Rise model that I got from Bed, Bath & Beyond but there's a pretty good price on Amazon for it HERE. I will be making all my own bread from now on!! Yum yum yum!

i was just about to start a topic asking what a good bread maker is to invest in? I will check this one out for sure as I will be making my own from now on. Bread is way to small at a way to big of a price tag to not make my own!

Gluten-free bread has always been a challenge for a lot of us. I'm still experimenting to make a *perfect* loaf.

There have been some recent threads regarding bread machines. Near the upper right corner there is a google button...type in bread machines and I'll bet several will come up.

Bob's is the only bread mix I've tried so far. Anyone tried any other ones? I'm trying to decide which I like best so I can buy in bulk online & get a discount.

I've only tried Bob's (the not-so-wonderful homemade bread mix as well as the raisin bread). I've heard good things about Gluten Free Pantry and also the Open Original Shared Link. I bought a pkg. of King Arthur but haven't tried it yet. Thus far I prefer to playing around with my own flours/starches and experimenting with making my own bread from scratch.

Sylvia- sorry if you've posted this elsewhere, but have you come up with your own flour blend? Will you share, if so?

Lilu, there are as many flour blends as there are cookbook authors. Recently I've been using Jules Shepard's Free For All Cooking book and her all-purpose flour, which is already mixed. It's the first time I bought an already mixed flour. I think her flour is probably the same as her Open Original Shared Link from her earlier cookbook. You can pull up Open Original Shared Link and she shares a lot of recipes. She's also active on Open Original Shared Link

Another cookbook I like is Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts. She also has a similarly titled book for bread machine recipes if you have one. From what I've tried so far, her recipes usually turn out well for me. I am hung up on bread so that's what I'm usually looking for in a cookbook.

Right now those are my go-to cookbooks and the ones I use the most.

Open Original Shared Link also has an already mixed flour. I bought it but haven't used it yet nor have I tried their bread mix but have a package of it in my pantry. I'm not usually into bread mixes.

Hope this helps a bit. I know others have their own preferred flour mixes they make themselves and/or already mixed flours they buy.

Sylvia,

Thanks for the information. I signed up for Jules's News letter, and asked some questions on her blog. If she can help cut a recipe down to 4 rolls instead of large amount, I'm sold!

Sylvia,

Thanks for the information. I signed up for Jules's News letter, and asked some questions on her blog. If she can help cut a recipe down to 4 rolls instead of large amount, I'm sold!

I don't need 16 Hamburger rolls at a time!

Did she send you a special introductory offer to try her flour with a couple of free e-books? If not, I'm sure you'll get one.

For the hamburger buns, I simply cut the recipe in half the first time I tried it and got 6 buns from it. I actually used a regular size spring-loaded ice cream scoop and a muffin top pan although I'm sure you could use a baking sheet. I put an ice cream scoop of dough in the muffin top pan, flattened and shaped it a bit. Made a bun the size I like it (not humongous). I found the recipe to be a bit wet so have been fiddling around with the ingredients.

Her pizza crust recipe is really good, too, and has been my go-to recipe lately. Since I prefer a slightly thinner crust, I use a 14" pizza pan instead of 12". Cute video on her blog about making it.

      any advice would be helpful

      By RMJ · Posted

      Were the two tests done by the same lab? Do the tests have the same normal ranges?  Each test manufacturer uses their own system of units when reporting results. Have your results gone down at all since diagnosis?  Are you sure you’re gluten free? Do you eat at restaurants? I would recommend that you take a really good look at your gluten free diet. It took six years for me to get all my results down to the normal range (I was originally positive for TTG IgA, TTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IgG and EMA). I started just avoiding wheat, rye and barley.  My results came down but one was still high.  Then I made sure any processed foods were labeled gluten free.  My results came down more but one was stubbornly positive.  Then I would only eat processed foods if certified gluten free or from a manufacturer with an excellent reputation among those with celiac disease.  All my results were finally normal. My results went back up a little when I started doing a lot of baking with a reputable but not certified gluten free flour.  When I switched to certified gluten free flour my results went back down to normal.

      is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten freeL

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      As a more generalized response to your question, I've been contacting Costco customer service for several Kirkland products because they are either unlabeled or contain the generic warning label about being packaged in a facility that handles all major food allergens. Each time I ask, my question is assigned to a specific person who researches it and emails me an actionable response that says, more or less, "no risk", "possible risk", or "definite risk". All of the answers have the caveat in the example below. Also, they recommend that you buy the product, submit the question ***with the lot # of your purchase*,** and then return it if you don't like the risk profile. This is because some products are made at different facilities with different risk profiles. Here is an example of a recent email response: "This is [name] with the Costco Member Service Resolutions Team. I am happy to let you know we got a reply back from our Kirkland Signature team. Here is their response: This item is gluten free. This information reflects the sender's knowledge on the date the information is being provided. Ingredients and processes are subject to change without notice. I hope this satisfies your inquiry about  [product name and stock #]. If you have a follow up question for me about this item please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to help! If I do not hear back from you within 48 hours I will consider this case closed. " Like pretty much every food source, you have to decide who you trust and then live with that. I tend to trust these responses because a person investigates it, their answers are detailed (not generic), and also because sometimes they say "nah, don't eat it". Hope this helps.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck
