Wheat /gluten free bread recipe??

nodwah

I've made some jam tonight with the easiest method I've tried yet -

500g Seville oranges ( this was 3 large ones for me)
2 litres water
1.5 Kg preserving sugar (with pectin in it)

Boil the oranges whole in the water for about 2 hours til they are soft (with the lid on the pan)

Leave it to cool for a while then take the oranges out cut them in half and squeeze the juice out of them into the pan. I then scooped the pith out with a spoon and chopped some of the rind til I got fed up with that, put the rind in the pan and then everything that was left I sqeezed through a seive to get every last bit of juice out.

Then boil it up again to get to the setting point.

It's sooo tangy and tasty ( and I've eaten far too much of it already)

Sorry to all if this recipe has been in before! I got it out of this months BBC Good Food magazine btw.

After seeing that a 'proper'l looking gluten free loaf cost £2.98!

I bought a bag of gluten frr bread flour for £1.89, thinking it would be better/cheaper.

Put it in my morphy Richards fast bak on the basic White loaf and it was a mess,

What did I do wrong? Well I suppose just thinking I could subitute 1 type of flour for the other was it!

Having chips for lunch now!

As you've discovered, gluten free bread is a different animal to wheat bread, and needs completely different techniques. The Panasonic that I have used had a special gluten free program, but no recipes: you needed to buy special mixes.

Does your manual say anything about baking gluten free bread?

Manual does not say anything about gluten free bread.

Does this mean I will have to buy another model?

Did have this one given, but money is tight as always

Bear in mind that if this is for someone with an allergy you are unlikely to be able to get your breadmaker clean enough of normal flour to risk making gluten free bread. Even a teeny crumb can cause a serious reaction. Maybe not relevant but thought I'd mention it in case...

This page suggests using a quick cycle that allows the machine to be programmed for a single rising period.

I don't know if it needs the 'special cycle' but the recommended recipe book is here.

We do have a thread on gluten free bread but it's not breadmaker specific so you could always try by hand ?

this was discussed on an older thread about pannys too

I hope you are able to work something out - let us know and we will merge this later

Hello again
I'm very hard up this fortnight and can't afford to buy my usual gluten/wheat free bread. However, I have a whole bag of ff self raising flour in my cupboard and also an abundance of eggs. Could I somehow throw together some kind of bread using these items or maybe create something else? Must be savoury and cheap!
Help!!! :rotfl:

hi, is ff gluten free?
could you tell me a bit about what it's made with and i'll see if i can find recipes. my first thought is hm pastry , soft flour tortillas , pizza base (if can be made with ff flour), and also quiche filling if can make pastry, egg mayo as a filler for things, and fritarta (pastryless quiche) is nice, can mix uncooked eggs with boiled potatoes (with some preboiled or prefried onion) and to make that.

Yeah ff is 'free from' so no gluten/wheat. I'm guessing it can be used as a standard substitute for standard SR Flour in recipes.
Quiche is a good idea. Wonder if the base would work with SR flour instead of plain?
