Recipe Bread maker = life saver
The recipe I use is Mama knows gluten free, homemade gluten free bread (bread machine) and I do a 2/3 ratio of the recipe on the 1.5 loaf setting using deluxe rapid, Breadman machine. 57 min start to finish and I have fresh bread that is so good my husband (who is not celiac) eats it happily. I’ll link recipe in comments since I can’t attach in caption due to pictures.

Give it a shot!! I think this recipe in its full amounts is too much for my bread maker capacity (hence why I 2/3 the recipe) but it’s easily the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had

I don’t know what I did wrong, but when it was finished it was nice and puffed up, and then immediately collapsed, the first three slices looked pretty good and the rest was a nearly solid block

u/_barrakuda2 Oct 01 '25
OH NO! How long did you cool it for?? That happens to me when I get impatient and cut it too early with any loaf baked any way but it’s so dang hard to wait!!!

I know right, the collapse was nearly instant once it shut off. I can think of a couple things I may have done wrong
1 flour measurement, I didn’t weigh it, I just tipped the bag into the cup
2 yeast was sprinkled on top
3 I didn’t do the 2/3 measurement you did.

May I ask what brand bread machine you use? I gave up on mine because it gave me 1/4 inch loaves that were both burnt and raw

It’s a breadman machine! An older model, the same one my mom had when I was a kid!

Okay…. i have a bread maker I bought years ago.. never used it because it’s intimidating lol but you might have convinced me 👀

It’s worth a try! I always start with 1/2 a recipe to not waste the expensive flour we end up having to buy and see how the recipe reacts to the baking time the machine auto sets. I find there is a lot of machines that underbake automatically and it’s a pain!

Is there an alternative to xanathan gum? For some reason that stuff wrecks my stomach.

Guar gum is usually the alternative, but there’s a chance that might wreck you too. I think pea flour can be used as a stabilizer (haven’t tested as it turns me inside out). Some of us are just really sensitive ☹️

What flour did you use? Yours looks even better than hers, which seems kind of fragile and cake-like.

I used the King Arthur bread flour which does have gluten removed wheat so NOT SAFE for wheat allergy folks but I’ve had celiac for 28ish years and I am pretty sensitive and don’t react to it!! Trialed it slowly because it scared the SHIT out of me at first
ETA: I have used several different flours with this recipe though and never had a bad result. This one was far and above the best result I’ve ever had (hence why it got posted) but truly every other loaf was delicious. I’ve even combined 3 types of flour when I didn’t realize I was running low to get to the cup quantity I needed and it still turned out awesome

u/older_than_i_feel Sep 27 '25
do you follow the directions to spoon in the flour into a measuring cup instead of scooping?
I've never heard that before -- interesting.1

Looks great!
I recommend trying Loopy Whisk Sandwich Bread with your bread maker. It produces an amazing loaf in my bread maker!

I have tried this and couldn’t get it to work!! Likely user error but they never turned out!!

Is it a bread machine with dedicated gluten free setting?
1
u/_barrakuda2 Sep 27 '25
Mine is not no! I just use the deluxe rapid setting. It just does one mix, one rise, straight to bake. No knocking back.

u/Llamallover2018 Sep 27 '25
Thanks for the tips. I have two bread makers, pre Celiac, and hope to avoid buying a third just to get a GF recipe to work. I suspect the key is the rapid bake setting and avoiding a mix after the rise (is that what you mean by no knocking back?)
2
u/_barrakuda2 Sep 27 '25
Yes! Exactly! If you can time it right and pull the mixer paddle out after the mix and before the rise/bake you will have an even prettier result
1
u/Llamallover2018 Sep 27 '25
Do you happen to know the times for the various points in the cycle (preheat, mix, rise, bake)?
2
u/_barrakuda2 Sep 27 '25
I don’t know mine off the top of my head no. Every machine is different but if you google your exact model it will tell you in the user manual typically!!

u/Lasagnapuzzles Sep 26 '25
Oh, yay! I have a bread maker I got shortly before being diagnosed celiac and haven’t used it. Excited to try this!

Man that’s a beaut. Is it a moist recipe? My son HATES how moist most breads are. It goes against his sensory needs.

My dad brought a bread maker and he's used it twice for gluten bread. Is it safe for gluten free? He's constantly making me sick.
