Update:

I made some pretty good, ‘remarkably better than I’ve had though that’s not saying as much as it sounds’’, bread that I engineered myself using principles I ferreted out of this book. After that success I’m off to try other methods and see what’s possible.

This way more bread than I need or want to eat. At this point I don’t even want to eat the bread, just to see what I can do. I’m counting on this being a temporary obsession.

I’m not much of a GF bread eater. Usually not worth it. But I had some unusually nice and personally suitable GF bread overseas that inspired me to see what I might do at home.

What I’ve tried from this book hasn’t worked for me because of ingredient sensitivity, but technically they didn’t turn out bad. What I got, despite not being able to eat the breads, was a review of current principles and proportions, and ideas for flavor profiles to try using ingredients that are more likely to work for me.

Since I’m not going to travel 20 hours for more of that bread, I’ll keep working the DIY angle.

As a person who suffers with celiac disease, one of the thing that annoys me the most about gluten-free recipes is when they call for ingredients that are (a) hard to get, (b) not used very often, and (c) more expensive. A number of the recipes have these ingredients that you have to go out and fall into multiple of the above categories -- how often will I use teff? Champagne vinegar? Probably only the one time and then it's a waste. This is what I hate about gluten-free recipes. (I'm looking at you, big bag of psyllium husk!)

The authors deliver on the promise, though: this book has a ton of GF bread recipes for the bread machine. I thought it was great how they included explicit instructions on making each bread, what add-ins you can do, what ingredients are optional. It makes the idea of making GF bread a bit less tedious, especially since the authors include instructions on what to do when your machine doesn't have a GF baking cycle.

If you're willing to spend some money to do some of these recipes, then this book might be for you. The requirement to buy more ingredients that I'll barely use keep me away.

Gluten Free Bread Machine

Great cookbook! Every possible bread is covered. Jams and sauces are addressed. Apparently newer machines have a jam setting…. Flatbreads. Sourdough breads. Very comprehensive.

Just OK. Only use a few of the recipes.

[Brenna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good recipes that are easy to follow. Bread requires so many special ingredients and I never realized that!

This book has great bread recipes and also teaches you how to improvise off the core formula.

Originally checked this out from my library then decided to buy a copy. Loved the selection of recipes and easy to make bread flour mixes. This book has two mixes instead of a million different ones like other books. I also liked that they used more common gluten free flours like white and brown rice, sorghum, and tapioca so I'm not forced to add even more flours to my pantry to make bread recipes from this book. I do a lot of baking and the only flour I needed to grab was millet. I enjoyed the sandwich bread recipes I made and I look forward to trying out the savory mocha bread. I tried the sorghum sandwich bread to use up some old flour and it went great with soup.

So many variations, and different types of breads, including pizzas and foccacia.
