Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Has this breadmaker been used for non-GF bread? If so, using it is pretty risky. Breadmakers are notorious for invisible crevices that hide bits and pieces. H.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm not a good person to ask. I bought one from -Sonoma when I was first diagnosed. The one loaf of bread I made, from a mix, tasted and smelled vile. I think I was just unlucky in my choice of mixes -- my guess is that yeast in the mix had gone bad. I haven't gotten around to trying again, although I intend to, eventually. Some people say that stand mixers are a better investment. In the meantime, my bread substitutes are Mesa waffles and Whole Food Bakehouse Prairie bread. I use very little bread, so cost isn't a big factor. H.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 , We don't have a bread maker, but I recently saw a survey on the ICORS celiac list server asking whether a bread maker or a powerful mixer made the most sense. Although there were proponents for a breadmaker, the majority came out for a powerful mixer. The issue is that the two types of bread are so different that the breadmaker has few advantages and needs to skip a number of cycles that wheat-based bread requires: kneading and second rising. So, mainly you are paying for a mixer and an oven. The oven in your kitchen may already be better, and you can bake breads of different shapes, like rolls, cinnamon buns and pretzles. Gluten-free bread is easier to make than wheat bread if you use a mix. The ingredients in Bob's Red Mill bread mix are most like the ingredients in one of my mixes. (But I no longer use mixes.) Why don't you poll the bread-makers on this site or the ICORS site (more than 3,500 subscribers worldwide) and get their opinion. You may still buy a bread machine, but you can find out the advantages/disadvantages and the best machine to buy for GF bread.
