Gluten Dairy Free Bread Maker Recipe

Blether

Have been given a bread maker to help me make bread which is both gluten and dairy free. Have never used one before. Looked on-line for recipes but some have flours that I don't seem to be able to buy. Does anyone have a link to a simple, basic recipe to help me learn how use it.

The most easily-found gluten-free flour is Glutafin and if you've been diagnosed as coeliac you should be able to get it on prescription. There are two different Glutafins that I know of: "White Mix" and "Fibre Mix" both of which you should be able to buy at the chemist.

There's also a brand called "Finax" but I don't know how easy it is to find as I think it's German.

The boxes should have bread recipes on them but my break-maker has this one:

375ml cold water
15ml (tablespoon) veg oil
350gr Glutafin Mix
1/2 tsp dried yeast
5ml (teaspoon) salt

Place the ingredients in the pan the order shown above and use either the "Quick" or "Wholemeal" setting with a medium or dark crust. The mixture is very sticky and the paddle will most likely be stuck in there when you remove the loaf from the pan, so let the loaf cool for ten minutes or so before you try to remove it.

Not all bread-makers are the same so you might have to experiment with the settings and crust-colours to get the best results from yours.

Friends of mine got rid of their Panasonic bread-maker because they found the results so unsatisfactory but that was fault of the flour and not the bread-maker

If you google "Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breadmaker recipes" then you will have a good choice to browse through and no need to buy recipe books. There is one which sounds good and uses Rice Flour. My local tesco has Rice flour, Rye Flour and other gluten free flours too so I think you should be able to purchase these at any big supermarket.

Hi Bitter and Twisted, I have a wheat intolerance so I'm not entitled to white or fibre mix on prescription. Do you have any idea how much they might cost to buy in the chemist?

Thanks

I'm, sorry, I can't help you as I'm not coeliac or wheat intolerant so I've never bought any.

Still, there are lots of flours you can use if gluten isn't the problem. Rye flour is an obvious one or even barley, buckwheat or gram (chickpea) although they will give varying results as they are all low in gluten. Some people who are wheat-intolerant can eat spelt.
