bread machine/recipes?

October 12, 2005

Does anyone use a bread machine to make nice GF Bread, what brand do

you use and what recipes work? Does anyone use the Zojirushi that has

a horizontal loaf and is designed for whole grains? It is pricy

compared to the others but I am wondering if it might be worth it for

nice GF breads (at $5-$7/loaf it wouldn't take that long to pay for

itself).

I tried the one in the file (and several others), but my older,

vertical loaf toastmaster punches them down in the middle of the short

cycle and the result is a dense, almost edible loaf that is punched

down in the center and doesn't come back up. The machine works great

for a whole spelt loaf, but that can only feed half of my family. I

would like to eat bread again.

Does anyone have/use/like Bette Hagmans " The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes

Bread " ?

Enought questions for today, if anyone is looking for a great pumpkin

pie recipe try Angela's Pumpkin pie from the files. I almost cried

when I found it. I made it for thanksgiving this weekend and

everybody said how nice it was, they didn't even notice it was

'allergy food'.

Have a blessed day,

Hi Melanie,

I have the Zojirushi and aside from the horizontal

loaf it gives you the option to create all your own

settings if the need arises (which often it does in

our case), so I would say it is has been well worth

it!! I love it!!! I also do have & use (though I

modify recipes a lot) Bettes Bread book and find it

great tool for learning how all these different flours

behave:)

Thanks for the tip about the pumpkin pie, I will

definitely try it!

Blessings, Azalyne

I use the Breadman Ultimate Bread Machine TR2200C that Bob’s Red Mill sells.

Mostly because it was convenient to order at the same time as my bread

mixes. I”ve been very happy with it.

I think the most important thing isn’t the brand, but that your machine can

be programmed to rise only once. It made a huge difference in our bread. I

use either Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Wonderful Bread Mix (no kidding,

that’s its name!) which does contain soy lecithin. If I’m going for a soy

free loaf, I make my own w/ this recipe:

3 Cups Bob’s Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (like Bette Hagman’s bean flour

mix)

¼ cup almond flour

2 TBS sugar

1 TBS potato flour

1 TBS xanthan gum

1 tsp salt

2 tsp yeast

mix all the dry stuff together

¾ cup egg (I’ve done this with about a half cup of flax goo and it came our

pretty well)

1 tsp cider vinegar

¼ cup olive oil

1 2/3 cup warm water (using an almond milk or dari-free would probably be

better)

mix together and put into bread machine. Dump dry ingredients in on top and

set machine to dough cycle w/ one rise. Stay with the machine and “help” it

mix with a rubber scraper. Add more water by the TBS as needed.

When it’s ready to bake, set it for about an hour and 10 minutes.

It’s a nice loaf for making sandwiches. Oh, and Bette Hagman’s Gluten Free

Gourmet Bakes bread was well worth the money. But I still mess around and

make my bread with what I have on hand.

HTH,

Lisa

How do you know if a bread machine has the capability of setting it to only rise

once? I have a bread machine and not aware of this feature.
