Gluten Free Bread (Basic Prog. 1)
For those following a wheat free diet, a selection of recipes for
gluten free bread and cakes have been developed. These recipes
make use of gluten free flour blends and other gluten free
ingredients, available from most good supermarkets or online.
Please be aware that the method for making gluten free breads
and cakes in the following recipes is slightly different to those
made with wheat flours. See each individual recipe for details.
To obtain as smooth a surface as possible on gluten free bread
we recommend scraping any flour residue from the sides of the
pan with a silicone spatula. This should be done within the first
two minutes with the paddle mixing.
Milk or water should still be warmed to between 21 – 28°C for
gluten free bread making, though this is not necessary when
making gluten free cakes.
The characteristics of gluten free bread made in your Bread
maker are also different to bread made with wheat flour. Bread
may be paler on the top than the sides and without the rounded
top that loaves made with wheat flour possess. We do not
recommend using an egg glaze before baking as the dough is
very soft.
Gluten free Breads should be baked on Basic Programme 1 using
the 1½lb loaf setting.
Gluten Free cakes should be baked on Cake Programme 10.
