Hi everyone, my uncle has just been diagnosed with celiac disease and needs to eat gluten free foods. Luckily he has a bread maker but needs some gluten free recipes. Ive tried some and they turned out awful. Can anyone recommend some please ?

Try the Dove's Farm flour. It's a bit more to faff around with than some of the other recipes, but it tastes ok

Ive never had a successful GF loaf in the BM. If your uncle has seen the dietician re his new diet they usually get loads of cards to send off for free samples. Try these and then see GP for getting the items he likes on prescription (can only get basics not sweet stuff like choccy bix etc). You can now get GF FRESH bread which is actually OK and delivered to your pharmacy which is ok to freeze. (Get a yearly prescription prepay thingy). If making it I would use one of the speciality bread mixes in an ordinary oven. GF bread doesnt have to be kneaded and is usually a matter of mixing to make up to a batter consistency.

I have managed to successfully alter most ordinary cake recipes by using a mix of JUVELA and DOVES together. Also sometimes add xanthan gum as a stabiliser as it makes stuff less crumbly (the gluten holds it all together). Again you can get that on script.

If you follow the link and go to the list of companies on the bottom, you can email or write to them and get loads of free samples. Just tell them you have been diagnosed then you can get stuff for when uncle comes round.

A freind of mine's husand is coeliac and the prescription bread is disgusting and only palatable when toasted, so she's taken a toaster with her on holiday to egypt!!! Wonder if they got thru the airport?

Anyway I used to use a doves farm mix - white packet with pink writing on it- and it turns out quite nicely from the bread maker I found, it's a bit cakey rather than bready though, I think you have to add egg to it.

My son was diagnosed at xmas and he won't eat any of the breads apart from the fresh gluten free bread, fortunately he gets it on prescription and we freeze it for when he wants it. He likes the crumpets and naan breads made form the white mix and the cake mixes are good.

I got a Panasonic breadmaker from ebay as they have a gluten free loaf cycle, and I use Doves Farm White Bread Flour, its the only one I have had any success with. I cook up a loaf, let it cool, slice it and put it in a plastic box in the freezer and take out as I need it. Its lovely toasted, absolutely delicious BUT unless you eat it warm its horrible for sarnies! But if you make a loaf and have some chicken or turkey leftovers (with cranberry sauce) and make a warm sarny - delicious :j :j :j

The flour is sold in health food shops and Asda, you will also need cooking oil,yeast,sugar,salt, eggs and vinegar! But the packet makes 2 loaves so cheapish for gluten free bread, £1.25 a loaf approx

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows if bread makers are any good for baking wheat and yeast free breads?

I'm baking my own atm but think a bread maker might be easier and cheaper on the electric. I don't know anything about them.

Do they need specialist flours/recipes?

Hey Sleepymy

"Bread-makers are a great blessing for those who can’t have wheat and gluten in their baked goods. It allows them to carefully monitor their food and meet their dietary requirements while reclaiming a bit of the variety their condition has prevented them from enjoying. There are many wheat free bread recipes and free gluten free bread recipes online, and most places that sell bread-makers and bread-maker mixes have a wheat free bread mix selection. There are even treats like wheat free muffins and gluten free scones available. So Coeliac Disease or a wheat allergy doesn’t need to be a moratorium on bread for those who suffer from them provided they have a bread-maker."

I'm hoping this means normal bread makers are good, as I plan to buy one for my wheat intolerant mil for Christmas.
