I just made a loaf from Gluten free on a shoestring. It's ok. It's cooling right now. HOpefully it will stand up to some cutting & sandwich making during the week.
wondering if anyone here has a TNT (tried and true) GF bread recipe? Hubby takes sandwiches everyday. Udi's is getting expensive.

Deb, honestly I break down and buy a premix. Bob Mills hearty whole grain gluten free bread. It tastes wonderful, holds together and isn't bland like so many other gluten free breads. We just had a new "sprouts" open nearby and I stocked up they were having such a great sale. I have tried baking some of my own, but as you discovered they get crumbly so I am still working on that.

Check out Bette Hagman's "The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread", or any of her other books for that matter. I'm not currently following a GF diet but when I was I relied on that book for edible breads. Her Oregon Bread, Seattle Sourdough, Buttermilk Bread and Swedish Limpa breads are tasty and worked really well for sandwiches, too. She has recipe adjustments for bread machines, too. I tried alot of recipes before I discovered her book but never felt a need to look any further after that. Good luck!

Laurie - I would except I'm trying to save some $$. Dh takes sandwiches every day. 2 a day so we go through bread like crazy during the week. We were buying Udi's which dh liked enough. Maybe I should attempt a potato bread - that was the main flour in the Udi's I was buying.
Marilyn - thanks for the book recommendation. I just requested a couple from our library.
I made another loaf last night. One from the Bob's Red Mill site. It had a nice rise but didn't brown well. I cut into it this morning and there was a cave in the middle.  I'll keep trying.

I use Gluten Free Pantry brand mix. Way easier. Also, you can get Udi's brand premade sandwich bread at Whole Foods and Fruitful Yield. I like theirs the best.

My grandchildren are all on a gluten free diet. Four of them. My daughter finds some great recipes (and she bakes her own bread) in Simply Gluten Free mag and they have a great website with recipes. Her kids have gotten so fond of her bread, and it does hold up to toasting and buttering, etc. She did buy a new bread baker, one that had never had any other kind of flour in it. She also finds a bread mix online that she orders. So good luck!!! There are a lot of gluten free resources out there. Since I do not bake it (hubby and I still eat wheat bread), I buy Glutino, toast it slightly, and it is good too. Just expensive!

Deb, I understand on the cost. Like I said, I hit a great sale about $3.50 a package, closer to a normal loaf of good bread. I"m going to have to look into that book Marilyn suggested as well.

Deb - you can save the water from making boiled/mashed potatoes and use it as your liquid when making bread. That's actually what makes potato bread "potato bread". I've used it with the GFP mix to make rolls. Just mix the potato water into the mix as directed, then scoop out blops of dough into a greased muffin tin and bake.
