Gluten Free Bread
Making gluten free bread is different from traditional baking, therefore it is important to carefully read the
following information:
Your Breville Baker’s Oven will make delicious Gluten Free Bread with ease. The following recipes have
been developed without using any grains or ingredients that contain gluten. Therefore, these recipes are
suitable for people with specific food allergies or intolerances.
All recipes use local ingredients and Australian Standard Metric measuring tools (cups, spoons and
weighing scales) for accuracy. The weight of the baked bread in this section will be more than that of the
Wheat bread, due to the ingredient properties used in each recipe.
Always use the ingredients specified in recipes for successful gluten free baking. For information on
the suitability and availability of gluten free ingredients contact the Coeliac Society in your state.
Ensure that the flour is gluten free. Buy it from a reliable source to ensure freshness.
Check with the yeast manufacturer to ensure that the yeast is gluten free. Only use active dry yeast
when making these recipes.
Ensure that the vinegar used is gluten free. Vinegar helps strengthen the dough.
Guar and Xanthan gums are available from health food stores.
Guar Gum is a powdery substance with a similar function to Xanthan Gum. It is high in fibre and can
sometimes have a laxative effect on people with sensitive digestive systems. Guar gum is food additive
412.
Xanthan Gum is a fine creamy white powder. It acts as a substitute for gluten and gives structure to
the dough so it can rise. Xanthan Gum is food additive number 415.
Lactose Intolerance – the milk powder may be substituted with a soy milk powder but may result in a
heavier loaf. Coconut powder can also be used as a substitute and will give a pleasant flavour.
Follow the directions for each recipe carefully. As the preparation is different from automatic bread
making, the Preset Timer cannot be used when making these recipes.
