Bread making

Hi all I recently bought a Panasonic bread machine as I had been told they had a GF setting and were great. Does anyone else use them and and if so where do you get the packets from for the bread.

You can get gluten free bread mixes on prescription if you are medically diagnosed coeliac. I've had several different types of them over the years, but they usually seem to have recipes on the packet that tell you how to make them up in either bread machines or the oven. Its not quite the same as just emptying a packet into the machine, but still quite easy. I am sure there has been info in coeliac society magazines over the years about using bread machines. They are really useful magazines, and one of the reasons why its really good to become a member, even if you have been gluten free for years.

If there isn't any info in your booklet about making gf bread then give panasonic a ring and they will send you a great recipe booklet of all sorts of different gf breads that you can make.

I loved our bread making machine and mixes. When I made sandwhiches for our kids school lunches from the frozen GF bread purchase at the local grocer the kids did not like it. They said it would fall or crumble apart when they tried to eat it at lunch. But they loved the fresh GF bread sandwhiches made that morning in the bread machine, they said it does'nt fall apart as much and taste better! I also noticed they would have morning butter or peanut butter and Jam toast more often in the mornings if it was from the Bread machine.

You may have to try a variety of mixes and add more or less of your own ingredients to get the texture, rise, and taste you like.

I loved waking up to the smell of fresh baking bread and coffee in the morning! Enjoy!

I use it with glutafin bread mixes that I get on prescription, makes a good loaf but you have to eat it within a couple of days before texture starts to go. I usually freeze half a loaf and eat the other half.
