Gluten free Has anyone used this breadmaker solely for making gluten free breads? I'd like to purchase it only for this purpose and would like to hear some reviews. Thanks.

not sure if my reply comes too late or not but i use my breadman solely to make gluten free breads. i used the gluten free setting once and never went back to it. depending on the recipe, i use the fruit & nut setting, rapid white or i create my own. i also use it to mix pizza dough because i don't have a food processor. i haven't had any problems with the machine and i've had it for a year. i'm still puzzled at all the reviews that say the machine jumps around on the counter while mixing or the loud noises it makes.

Angel: New Breadman Ultimate Plus:Purchased new machine on Amazon, baked with reg flour and came out great, twice tried Red Mill gluten free bread mix following the instuctions exactly but both came out larger than 1/1/2 lb and raw in the center of the loaf. Anyone have any suggestions?

My son recently started a gluten free diet and breads have been a big challenge. I was delighted to find the Breadman Ultimate Plus at a reasonable price vs. the custom programmable ones. I just made my first loaf of bread using the gluten free setting and their recipe. It worked perfectly. The rise was great and the taste is wonderful. Not dry or dense. Can't wait to try pizza dough!!!

Bought this as a gift for a friend. Sorry, not sure if gluten free flour can be used or not. I would assume it would be fine, but I myself have not used the product. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, there is a gluten free bread baking course. In addition the manual has several recipes for gluten free breads. They are primarily based on rice flour. I have not yet tried any, because I am on a low sodium diet and I will have to experiment with a no salt added like I have developed for whole wheat and rye breads. For carb control I have found that fructose works well in place of sugar. According to the Glycemic Index fructose carbs are absorbed at a slower rate than sugar carbs.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. The only thing I use it for is my gluten free bread.

I have not made gluten free bread. I only know it works great for desserts and cookies!

While there are bread makers for gluten free mixes, I don't own one. That said, I use my regular machine set on the dough cycle to mix and let the dough rise. I then transfer to a loaf pan and bake in my conventional oven according to the directions on the package. This works great for me!

Honestly, I am not certain. I use this flat bread maker specifically to make Gluten Free flat breads and it does an excellent job!

I have been using this to bake bread, combined with other flours, no problem. It's not that the gluten is added, rather it is that some types of wheat berries have a naturally higher gluten content, making them better for bread baking. Thus the naming of the flour as "bread" flour. The recipe I use can be found, with video, at my blog titled "the nature of brown whyte"Hth,Holly

Yes, you get a nice crust on your bread with this pan. I use it for regular wheat or white bread. It doesn't work that well for gluten free bread because the outside cooks too quickly and the inside is still gooey. For gluten free bread you may want to use a ceramic pan.

I have made gluten free without any trouble. It's a great little machine. I am still really happy with my purchase

Quite probably; I simply put the ingredients in and wait. However, that said, this machine is not one I'd recommend. It has too often spewed dough over the edges of the insert, so that the dough falls to the hot coils and burns, and is impossible to fully remove from the machine. That MAY be because I've used gluten-free flours, but I can't figure why (a) if gluten-free is the reason the machine's instructions should so state; and (b) why this has never happened to me before with bread machines.

I can't say positively as we have never had reason to try gluten free............but I cannot imagine why not if you measure all your ingredients accurately. All the machine does is take the "work" out of making bread..............hope this helped. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.........

No, this was created using the traditional flour and water, then dehydrated. It can still be rehydrated and grown with gluten-free flours and used to rise gluten-free breads, though, and the amount of gluten in the finished loaf would be miniscule - unless someone with severe celiac was going to eat it, any lighter gluten sensititivity would be fine. If you want a sourdough starter that is 100% gf, there is a good formula for the mix to "catch" yeast and maintain the starter in the book "The Vintage Remedies Guide to Bread" by Jessie Hawkins. Her gf blend uses quinoa, chickpea, and gf oat flour. Highly recommend the book if gf sourdough baking is your goal.

I only use this for gluten free bread and it works well. In the past I did have to adjust the amount of liquids used because the loaf sank in the middle. The directions tell you how to adjust ingredients if the loaf is misshaped.

I agree with David Cowell. The mixing paddle gets stuck in the baked bread, and leaves a good sized hole when you remove it. Also, you do need to open it during the mixing cycle to scrape the sides of the pan to make sure all the flour gets incorporated into the dough. Other than that, it's great. I use it about every other week to make gluten free bread and I get a consistent loaf every time.

Yes. I use it for making gluten free bread ... there is a recipe on the sack that is quite good.
