Gluten and wheat free baking

julietiff

Have tried using juvela in the bread maker, but still didn't taste good,
I usually stick to flavoured rice cakes- Have been Coeliac since 2003

If you can get bread on prescription I can highly recommend this.

My doctor/chemist ordered it in error but it is lovely. I freeze all but 1 loaf when I get it and its lovely to eat once defrosted.

Having now tried all the wheat-free bread sold in Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys I am totally disgusted that the bread-makers cannot get together and make some wheat/gluten-free bread that is fit for human consumption.

I have a bread-maker

Anyone tried successfully to make fabulous-tasting wheat-free bread by any chance?

I made very successful gluten free bread in my new Panasonic sd55. It actually has a gluten free recipe and special paddle for it. I don't know if you could make it in any other breadmaker though. The ds's gf said it was the first nice gluten free bread she had ever had.

I've been trying making my own gf bread for years with absolutely no success.

Bread needs gluten to rise and settle again properly, so it is an uphill struggle. I just use glutafin fresh bread (on prescription) and have given up making my own. However as I mentioned earlier please be careful even with the supposed gluten free breads, they do have gluten in them and most coeliacs I know won't eat them at all, nor will they eat the Dove's farm flour for the same reason.

Although I am a coeliac I am not super sensitive and can eat up to 4 slices of Glutafin fresh a day before I notice any side effects.

I can have the gluten, that is just fine for me, it is the wheat that causes me problems

Can't get a positive blood test for wheat intolerance but I AM intolerant to it - it makes me very anaemic very fast

My GP kept on sending me for the tests so that I could get the prescription for bread but he has been wasting his time.

This bread is gluten-free but not wheat free so I couldn't have it anyway

They can make food gluten-free but leave the wheat in.

What it is to have food intolerances!

fantabulous - dietary specialities make some fabulous free from stuff that is wheat free to. I am coeliac and I know lots of specialist products take the wheat and remove the gluten.

Am going to have a go at making some oat bread in my bread-maker.

If I try to make 'traditional' bread I am going to come unstuck as it won't be anything like proper bread.

Some cheese & onion bread would be great! Along with some cinnamon raisin bread

Will see what happens when I give it a go tomorrow. Will let the breadmaker do the whole thing all the way through this time. Then I might try letting the breadmaker make the dough/do the rising and I will bake the bread in the normal oven.

Fantabulous, since you are able to eat gluten but are intolerant to wheat (the same as me) I would really recommend spelt. Many people like us can eat spelt with no problems.

I make spelt bread in my Panni using the special rye blade and it's the BEST bread ever!! Really tasty and very nutritious too. I buy either Sharpham's Park spelt flour or Waitrose own wholemeal spelt - both make a good loaf. The top will not rise up in a 'dome' but is flat or slightly indented but this is normal and does not mean that the bread hasn't risen.

This is great.
Can i urge peeps out there to take care just because you have bought it before it may not always be the same. Lots of things changed such as cornflakes, wine gums and my aunt and friend did not know till they became quite ill.
