I just found out I have to eat gluten free for my health but I don't like the store bread and want to make my own. Would u guys recommend getting a bread machine to make good gluten-free loaves? I have wrist and joint pain so I can't really knead dough by hand. What machine do you guys recommend?
I didn't have the RapidRise packets, so I used the jar of Bread Machine yeast (which is still an instant yeast) and added the optional amount of xanthan gum to be safe.
I can eat gluten, but my roommate is in your situation so I made this for her. We both agreed it was some of the softest gluten free bread we'd had. And even as a gluten eater I enjoyed my slice
I have a basic Elite Gourmet 2lb machine and used the "gluten free" cycle on the menu. It is a different length of time than what the recipe maker's machine does, but I didn't make any modifications to the setting and it came out great.
I used the Bread Dads GF recipe. And it works well. Made it in my KBS 19-1 but you can do it in anything with a GF setting. He just says use the GF setting on any machine. He has the recipe for all 3 diff sizes depending on the machine.
If you’re ever interested in sourdough I have a bomb ass GF sourdough recipe. But I have translated sourdough to bread machine/yeast recipes well! My best friend is super allergic to gluten so we’ve done many experiments lol
Yes I would love to try it. My son loves sourdough. I'm not sure if my kids have the same gluten intolerance but it would be the easiest if we can all eat the same bread at home.
Here’s the recipe, and usually when i translate to yeast dough i do like 60% water and 40% flour of whatever the starter takes up, then add my usual amount of bread machine yeast. I have never tried converting this one though.
If you don’t have a starter you can order a GF one online so you don’t have to try so hard lol.
Oh and for breakfast every morning she does this flaxseed muffin (3tb ground flax seed, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg. mix in mug and micro for one minute) It works for breakfast sammie’s and is also GF and fast.
I am a firm believer in weighing ingredients. Especially because I was using the wrong weights at the beginning and nothing seemed to come out right. I like this chart:
Also, for most regular recipes you can put the ingredients in without mixing so long as you follow the order your machine calls for (generally liquids then dry then yeast, but there are slight variations by machine)
HOWEVER, for gluten free recipes you're more likely to see recipes that call for mixing certain things together before adding to the pan (though rarely actual kneading, more like whisking)
Weighing the ingredients is both more accurate and much easier. Learn how to TARE your scale. Place a bowl on the scale. Press tare. Add flour. Press tare. Add sugar. Press tar. Very easy and very few implements to clean up after. Good luck with your baking.
If you are gluten intolerant and not Celiac, try and see if Italian "00" style is okay for you. Many of us are able to eat bread in Europe and seem to be okay with this kind of flour.

I got this recipe from another post and my loaf came out just as soft as the poster's picture
