Gluten Free Bread....Thank you Gcart

[nellie237]

A couple of weeks ago Gcart posted recommending Doves GF Bread flour, and how easy this is to make.

I'm really not fond of spending time in the kitchen, but on reading that it didn't require kneading I gave it a go.

I prepared the batter, and left it to rise as directed. I had plenty of time to pop to the local shops.......or, so I thought, but of course I bumped into a neighbour who wanted a natter (completely forgot about the bread), so it had probably been about 2hrs by the the time I got back, and was over-spilling the tin.

I 'trimmed' it a bit and put it in the oven, and I've got to say aside from having to chisel the over-spill bits it was pretty good. The top was very crusty, and the inside quite light and soft.

All in all..........even my making a mess of it turned out OK.

It would have been unfortunate if you hadn't baked the bread

The fact that its top was very crusty, and the inside quite light and soft, I'm sure you were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it.

I have been making it too and it is delicious - the best bread I have had in years, especially toasted as the oil gives it a fried bread quality. I have found you can use less oil for drizzling over.

Thank you both for ‘feed back’ My post seemed to set off same negative

replies!

I still find it the best .

As it make a large loaf I slice it and freeze it after 2 days and use it from there .

Mostly for toast .

Mostly my husband favours it though !

Everything can set off negativity at the moment…I am very grateful to you for sharing. You have improved the quality of life for me!😀

It inspired me to have a go in my bread machine which I’d abandoned after going gluten free. It worked fine although rather like a brick but tastes good and doesn’t go pappy like most store bought gf bread. Toasted is good too.

I have finally mastered making gluten free bread in my bread maker after quite a few attempts. I can finally make a loaf that looks and tastes like bread, and I also use Dove's gluten free flour. I read that you should leave your bread in the bread maker for an extra 10 minutes with the lid shut after it finishes cooking, and also leave it in the tin for another 10 minutes once you take it out of the bread maker. I also mix it with a spatula after about 10 minutes of it being in the bread maker. I am finally enjoying bread again, that also tastes like crunchy toast when toasted, and not like disgusting rubber. This isn't what the bread maker instructions say, as they say to take it out as soon as it finishes cooking, and remove it from the tin straight away
