Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi Jill, can you tell me what brand of bread maker do you have and where did you buy it? I got one some time ago and it just would not work well for gf bread. Thank you, and by the way I think the same about EnerG bread!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have a Zojirushi bread machine. It makes a horizontal loaf and has two paddles. It has a programmable " home made " feature that you need for gf bread. Gf bread only needs one rise and one mix cycle. I bought mine at www.costco.com and love it. There are numerous sites online where you can order the Zojirushi. The bread I make stays soft on the counter for two to three days before I freeze it. Melonie posted the recipe for Irene's Sorghum bread that I make regularly in my Zojirushi. In addition, I order Kinnikinnick Italian Tapioca bread by the case from Vitamin Cottage (local health food store) to use in between bread baking. Check with your local health food store to see if their distributors carry Kinnikinnick, probably under frozen baked goods. Even if the store doesn't carry the bread, you can order cases from the distributor. The case lot is very small, only 4 loaves. There is also a gf bakery in Colorado Springs, Colorado called Outside the Breadbox that makes awesome baked goods. Since I bake my own bread, I have never tried their bread. There are numerous stores in/near Colorado springs and a Water To Go store in Castle Pines that orders from this bakery on a weekly basis. The last time I ordered from them I got individual apple and cherry pies, graham crackers (can you say " somemores " ), chocolate chip cookies and rolls. Their website is www.outsidethebreadbox.com if you are local to Denver or Colorado Springs.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi Lora! I have a Zojirushi (Model BBCC-V20) that I purchased new two years ago. I purchased it from a kitchen store, but you can probably find it online or in your local kitchen store. I LOVE my Zojirushi because it makes a rectangular loaf…its easy to cut and better for making sandwiches (some machines make a round loaf). I also love that its programmable….GF bread does not need multiple kneading and “stir down” modes like regular bread….a programmable machine is a must for GF bread baking. For Betty’s Four Flour Bread, I use the “homemade” programmable setting. I find that I get the best results when I make a 1.5 lb loaf (1 lb loaf is too small…the 2lb doesn’t cook all the way through….the 1.5 lb loaf is nearly to the top of the pan anyway). Here are the settings I use…. Preheat 15mins Knead 25mins Rise 1 off Rise 2 off Rise 3 1hr for regular yeast, 35mins for quick rise yeast (I use quick rise) Bake 1hr 10mins It took me a few tries to get the dough consistency right. If you purchase the Zojirushi and need help with dough consistency, email me outside of the group and I can send you pictures of my dough…it will give you a better idea of what you’re looking for.
