Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi all,I recently bought the Cuisinart Bread maker with the GF setting and I like using it. I used the Namaste bread mix and the bread turned out good - but it was similar to many of GF breads that I have bought. I actually prefer using GF waffles to make sandwiches because they are less "doughy" than traditional GF bread.I noticed that I had to help the machine stir the mix a little in the beginning to get the mix off of the sides, but other than that is is really easy to use. You just pour in the mix and press a button and BAM you have bread!Here is the link. Hope that helps!http://www.cuisinart.com/catalog/product.php?item_id=483I am sure you can use a mixer too - but I am not that good in the kitchen!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I use the Zorjirushi Home Bakery Supreme and I absolutely LOVE it! I bought it because that is what (the owner of Breads from ) uses, and it really is amazing with her breads. Plus if you purchase it from her website, she includes two free bread mixes as well. If you have not yet tried her breads I highly recommend them. They are absolutely delicious, and very healthy too. She also gives tips on bread machines on her website (www.glutenevolution.com) Does anyone have a recommendation or things to consider along these lines? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I don't have a specific model to recommend. I use an old Zojirushi, makes 1 or 1 1/2 loafs, and I'm happy with it. A couple things to be aware of when looking around: 1) Check out a books on GF breadmaking for details about bread machinies - a bunch of them have suggestions and ideas. I like The GF Gourmet Bakes Bread. 2) If you can find one with a Quickbread setting, I think I've heard that some GF breads don't need as much rising time as other bread loafs, and that a quickbread setting can therefore be useful. 3) Be sure you know what size you're looking at and buying - 1, 1 1/2, or 2 pound loafs - so you know how to adjust your recipies and not overload your machine. I *like* using my bread machine. It's wonderful when it's cooking and the house smells like fresh baked bread! Have fun! Rahel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I use a Zojirushi as well and am happy with it. My standing mixer is also indispensable- I use them for different things. Personally I think you should look for a programmable machine but a quickbread setting isn't that useful for me personally. The difference between gluten-free and gluten bread baking in a bread machine is that gluten bread needs multiple punch down and rise sessions and a gluten-free bread is better with just one (long) rise cycle. Bette Hagman's " Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread " is an awesome cookbook to have with a bread machine (or even if you don't have a bread machine). Her breads are definitely my favorite. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can highly recommend the Zojirushi BBCC-X20. I simply use Gluten Free Pantry or Whole Foods 365 bread mixes and they are delicious. It is a sturdy machine, I use the quick bread cycle, light crust and it comes out perfect every time. It takes no more than three minutes, yes it's this simple. You put all the ingredients directly into the bread machine and press start, less than two hours later it's done! I enjoy adding raisins to the bread, a nice change from plain. Robinrobin@...
