I like authentic foods bread mixes. Either

the regular bread or cinnamon. You have to eat it in 3 days or the bread gets

hard. It’s possible to freeze what you won’t use.

for GF bread recommendations

Hello,

I just discovered my gluten

intolerance this spring. I have a tight budget, and I tried one

gluten-free bread offering (Food For Life's millet bread), and it tasted

terrible. I spent $4-5 on it, so I tried to force myself to eat it, but I

did end up wasting most of the loaf anyway. Because of how expensive GF

bread is, I'm wondering if I can get any recommendations, instead of trying out

loaves until I find one that's edible for me!

Thanks for any help,

Sue

I just stopped doing bread except very

occasionally and I use “I can eat that” bread from a local baker –

it comes frozen and raw at a few local grocers. You thaw it and bake it. You

can also start from scratch – Betty Hageman has recipes. It is too much

trouble for me, so I just don’t. I do buy regular bread for my non-GI

daughter to make sandwiches, but she is getting close to college and when she

goes, so will the bread. I’m not missing it.

I've been baking GF bread for 13 years for my daughter. Over time I developed a recipe for the bread machine that she (and other celiacs) prefer to store-bought brands or mixes. I now put a lot of the healthier grains (buckwheat, sorghum, amaranth, flax, and now teff) into it, along with brown rice flour and just a TOUCH of Bette Hagman's blend. I'm happy to share the recipe. You would have to invest in a bread machine, however. We've gone through three, and our latest is the best. It costs about $150 at Sonoma; it is identical to the Zojirushi sold by the GF Pantry. I programmed it by following the directions at the GF Pantry web site.

Good luck!

I have found that Cebe bread is delicious- you make rolls as opposed to a loaf, but it is delicious. It is a traditional Brazilian bread and is always gluten free because it is made with tapioca flour. Be warned that it does include cheese, though, so if you are dairy free it isn't a good choice. You can find mixes on the internet and on many gluten free websites.

There is also a fantastic GF muffin recipe in the Moosewood New Classics cookbook.

I highly recommend the bread made by a Canadian company which you can order online. The italian bread is terrific as is the sandwich bread. Once you receive it, it must be frozen immediately and just take pieces out as needed since it doen't keep long except in the freezer. In fact, all their products are terrific, the donuts, cookies, sticky buns...geez, I sound like an advertisement. I never had luck making my bread myself so I would really try this bread. It is great. www.kinnikinnick.com

I also just ordered some gluten free beer from another place in NY if you want the info on that...I havent' tried it yet so we'll see :) Best of luck and I have found that life with celiac isn't all that bad..in fact I always tell my friends its like living the zone diet. Its quite healthy really. Anyway, regards, scbozzo@... wrote:

Does anyone have a recipe that approaches

Chebe? It looks like it might be really simple.

I don't have a recipe, but there are literally maybe four ingredients, so it must be very simple. I did come across one once doing a google search, but we have so many bags of the mix at home that I never attempted it.

I would like to add that the Kinnikinick stuff is a staple in our home. The bagels and rolls in particular.

I love the " light brown rice " loaf by ENER-G foods. They make a couple of

different styles, but that is by far the best, you can order it from online GF

stores, but there are some places that carry it. In the EB, there is a little

health fod store near the Oakland Kaiser that carries it, but most places carry

the ENER-G tapioca, which is okay toasted, but has a tendecy to crumble a bit.

Thank you so much to everyone, for the bread recommendations! It will take

me a while, to pursue some of these leads... It just so happens that

yesterday I inherited my mom's old breadmaking machine. That will take a

little while to get to as well...

Many have mentioned online retailers. I have only been eating the GF food

that I can find in grocery stores. If I were to start shopping online --

yet another question for you all! -- what online store(s) would you

recommend?

Thanks again for the help,

Best,

Sue

Personally, I really like Bette Hagman's Gluten Free French bread

recipe in her " More from the Gluten Free Gourmet " book. I mention it

because it uses white rice and tapioca flour, and they are pretty

reasonably priced, especially if you buy them online. It has been

really popular in my household, and I've served it at dinner parties

to non celiacs to rave reviews. I like to make a fresh basil dipping

oil (like they serve at italian restaurants) with olive oil and

italian seasonings poured over and marinating fresh basil leaves, with

some balsalmic vinegar).. it's also very good toasted or used for

bruscetta. The best results come from using a proper french bread pan,

with the little holes in the bottom, that can be purchased from any

gourmet cooking supply shop. I have to fight my (non celaic!) husband

for it. It's also pretty easy to make, and fast if you use rapid rise

yeast.

This recipe makes a delicious multi-grain gluten-free loaf for the bread machine, using three cups of GF flours. (It also smells scrumptious while baking.) I used to use two cups of the standard, Bette Hagman GF blend* and one cup brown rice flour. Since I learned about the newer, more nutritious flours, I now use this combination:

Cup #1: brown rice flour

Cup #2: equal parts flaxmeal, teff, and Bette Hagman’s flour blend

Cup #3: equal parts amaranth, sorghum, and buckwheat flours

Sift the flours with:

3 tsp. xanthan gum

2 tsp. Ener-G Egg Replacer (optional, but I always use it)

1 tsp. salt

3 tsp. sugar

Add 1 1/3 cups non-fat dry milk powder and stir into sifted dry ingredients

Beat:

2 eggs plus 2 egg whites

1/4 cup melted butter

1 1/2 cups water

1 tsp. rice vinegar

2 tsp. Red Star yeast (I buy it in the jar)

Place wet ingredients, dry ingredients, and yeast into the baking pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Use medium setting on quick bake, or, for a newer, programmable machine, follow the instructions at the Gluten-Free Pantry web site for the Zojirushi bread machine—you only have to program it once. Open up the machine during the first kneading to scrape down the sides of the pan with a spatula.

Be prepared to experiment, and adjust water and yeast if the consistency isn’t right. You can also change the flour mixture to your liking. I obviously have! I order the brown rice and GF blend flours from Ener-G, and buy the other flours at the market (Bob’s or somesuch brand, NOT from a bin). I keep the flours in canisters for easy measuring. Let the loaf cool overnight, if possible, for easy slicing. I store packets of bread in the freezer, then defrost two slices overnight for Molly’s morning toast.

*Bette Hagman’s GF blend: 2 parts white rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch flour, 1/3 part tapioca flour

Here is a list I have complied for the last three years of the best products bought from g-f retailers - on-line as well as buying at Whole Foods. This is just my preference of foods, so some may not agree.

Biscuits – ‘Cause Your Special Hearty Biscuit Mix

Bread – Sylvan Border Farms White and Dark Bread Mix

Buns and Muffins - Kinnikinnick Hamburger Buns and English Muffins (my daughter and I use these for pizza crusts, hamburgers, spread with cream cheese for danish, french toast, garlice bread, etc.)

Brownies – Gluten-Free Pantry Chocolate Truffle Brownie Mix (so good they are offered on the menu at the Storyteller Cafe inside one of Disneyland Hotels in LA

Coffeecake – Gluten-Free Pantry Coffeecake Mix (indescribably delicious!)

Cookies – ‘Cause Your Special Sugar Cookie Mix AND EnerG Macaroons

Crackers – EnerG Crackers

Cupcakes (Yellow) – ‘Cause Your Special Yellow Cake Mix - (so light and fluffy)

Cupcakes (Spice/Ginger) – Ruby Range Spice Cupcake Mix

Dumplings – ‘Cause Your Special Hearty Biscuit Mix (use the biscuit recipe to make dumplings on top of stews and soups - absolutely delicious - just like the ol' fashioned ones we used to love to eat!)

Ice Cream Cones – Glutano Ice Cream Cones (10 ct.) (so good I eat one every single night for dessert with Dreamery's Raspberry Chocolate Chip Avalanche ice cream!)

Muffins – Gluten-Free Pantry Muffin & Scone Mix (I make blueberry muffins with Wyman's canned blueberries from Maine - delicious!)

Pretzels – EnerG Pretzels (can't even tell they are not wheat pretzels!)

Pancakes – Sylvan Border Farms Pancake & Waffle Mix (best pancake mix they make!)

Pasta - Tinkyada Joy (Maggiano's Restaurant uses these rice spaghetti noodles in their restaurants and I cannot tell they are not wheat spaghetti noodles)

Hope this helps!

P.S. - I forgot to add to my "favorite list" Mike Goff's "I Can Eat That" dinner rolls as my favorite. These rolls taste just like house rolls, and my daughter and I bake them for Sunday dinner every single Sunday - they are that good. Spread with butter and that fresh baked smell - heavenly.

Mike's "I Can Eat That Bread" is available now at Draeger's Markets, as well as Global Blends in Mt. View and a few other markets. He sells his bread (already in a baking pan ready to be baked) at the markets, but also sells his pizza crust at Global Blends. He is test-marketing these dinner rolls with me, and I just love them. The come in a tray of 6. If you would like him to make you some trays of these rolls, he could make them and drop them at Global Blends and you can buy them there. I buy 6 trays at a time and keep them in the freezer. Just let them rise and pop them in the oven.

Mike's contact info is: (510) 658-4174; icaneatthat@....

Cupcakes (Yellow) – ‘Cause Your Special Yellow Cake Mix - (so light and fluffy)

Cupcakes (Spice/Ginger) – Ruby Range Spice Cupcake Mix

Dumplings – ‘Cause Your Special Hearty Biscuit Mix (use the biscuit recipe to make dumplings on top of stews and soups - absolutely delicious - just like the ol' fashioned ones we used to love to eat!)

Ice Cream Cones – Glutano Ice Cream Cones (10 ct.) (so good I eat one every single night for dessert with Dreamery's Raspberry Chocolate Chip Avalanche ice cream!)

Muffins – Gluten-Free Pantry Muffin & Scone Mix (I make blueberry muffins with Wyman's canned blueberries from Maine - delicious!)

Pretzels – EnerG Pretzels (can't even tell they are not wheat pretzels!)

Pancakes – Sylvan Border Farms Pancake & Waffle Mix (best pancake mix they make!)

Pasta - Tinkyada Joy (Maggiano's Restaurant uses these rice spaghetti noodles in their restaurants and I cannot tell they are not wheat spaghetti noodles)

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much to everyone, for the bread recommendations! It will takeme a while, to pursue some of these leads... It just so happens thatyesterday I inherited my mom's old breadmaking machine. That will take alittle while to get to as well...Many have mentioned online retailers. I have only been eating the GF foodthat I can find in grocery stores. If I were to start shopping online --yet another question for you all! -- what online store(s) would yourecommend?Thanks again for the help,Best,Sue----- Original Message -----From: "" <socaldc@...>< >Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 10:06 AMSubject: Re: [ ] request for GF bread recommendations>>> I forgot to mention that many of the online retailers offer samplerbaskets that let you try the different flavors. ENER-G, for instance, has abasket which they say is worth $42 retail for $16, and it has a bunch oftwo-slice stable sealed packets of bread slices and a few other items, likepasta and muffins.>> >>>> <BR>> We like GLUTINO "Sans Gluten" raisin bread and flax seed bread that's soldat Whole Foods.<BR>> It's not great plain but it is very good toasted with a little butter orSmart Balance (which is gluten free).<BR>> It tastes the closest to regular bread that we've tried.<BR>> Good luck,<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> </FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">Hello,<BR>> </FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"> <BR>> </FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">I just discovered my glutenintolerance this spring.

Because of how expensive GF bread is, I'mwondering if I can get any recommendations, instead of trying out loavesuntil I find one that's edible for me!<BR>> </FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"> <BR>> </FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">Thanks for any help,<BR>> Sue<BR>> </FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"><BR>> </FONT><FONT FACE="Monaco"><TT><HR ALIGN=CENTER SIZE="3"WIDTH="500"><B>
