MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I love cooking and since my wife is diagnosed coeliac - GF baking is a big part of life. My pastry is fine, pizza dough is fine, bread on the other hand is shite!
Who here makes GF bread - tips/recipes would be cool. When i say bread - i mean actual bread not some weird batter mix masquerading as "bread" that i ok with soup!!
I experimented with this last year. I found a GF flour in tesco which was amazing. just mixed it up. No kneading necessary obvs.
Can't remember what brand it was, only that it was in a white packet from one of those huge tescos.
Came out lovely each time.
GF bread is shit. End
Apart from the sainsburys GF bread they now bake in larger stores. Use that as your baseline OP and try and better it.
Glutafin select multi mix makes a good white bread- select isn't 100.00% gluten free, but it's codex alimentarius gluten free rated, down in the 5ppm or whatever it is. And apparently that homeopathic amount of gluten makes it good or something. They do other bread mixes, I should really try it, this stuff is just a flour not bread mix
I don't do anything clever- just mix, salt, sugar, olive oil, yeast (included in the box), throw it in the bread machine, bread occurs. It's slightly odd bread- it's foamy rather than really doughy, kind of like a madeira cake. But it tastes good, makes a proper sandwich, and it makes the best fried bread in the world (soaks the fat up like a big sponge, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmm)
Marks and Spencers' premade loaves are pretty good. Genius multi is decent too. Sainsburys "baked in store" uses disappointment as its wheat substitute. All the warburtons stuff is weak apart from the tiger bread which is dry but nice
(Warburtons's gf attempts were amazing... They launched them all branded as Warburtons, with a big campaign that said "we wouldn't call it warburtons if it wasn't great". Then after a few weeks, they quietly rebranded it all Newburn Bakehouse, because it turned out, it wasn't great.)
thanks northwind but i am wanting to bake mine form fresh cheers 🙂
