Q: <strong>Can I use fresh-milled gluten-free flour?</strong>

Yes. This recipe is designed to support fresh-milled gluten-free flour , though hydration may need slight adjustment depending on the grains used (if swapped out from the original bread mix). Fresh milling can improve flavor and nutrition while still producing a soft sandwich loaf. If using fresh milled and making the Bulk Flour Mix, be sure to store the flour mix in the freezer to maintain nutritional density in between uses. You can also use already milled flours that are liked within the recipe for the bread mix.

Question 1

Can I make gluten-free bread in any bread machine?

Accepted Answer

Most bread machines with a gluten free setting should work, but the best results come from machines with a gluten-free setting - this machine specifically. I use menu setting 16 (Gluten Free) and this recipe works perfectly within that setting.

Question 2

Why is my gluten-free bread dense or gummy?

Accepted Answer

Dense or gummy gluten-free bread usually comes from too much flour, not enough hydration, or slicing before fully cooled. The dough will come together but be slightly sticky prior to rising and baking within the machine. Once it's finished baking, be sure to remove the mixing

Question 3

Does this recipe work with an elevation?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Although I make the bread in Florida at a very low elevation, I have made this recipe at 7,600ft. elevation in the Rocky Mountains and it baked up beautifully!

Yes. This recipe is designed to support fresh-milled gluten-free flour, though hydration may need slight adjustment depending on the grains used (if swapped out from the original bread mix).

Question 5

How do I store homemade gluten-free sandwich bread once it's cooled?

Accepted Answer

Storage depends on your environment. Here in Florida, I am able to slice the bread and store it on the countertop in an airtight container for soft, fluffy bread at my fingertips for up to 3 days before it turns and gets moldy. To prevent that, I switch it to the refrigerator for up to a week or slice and place in the freezer for up to 6 months. The bread can be thawed from frozen by placing it in the refrigerator and it benefits from being toasted or lightly warmed to bounce back to its soft consistency. Toasting from frozen works beautifully and helps maintain texture.

Question 6

Can I double this bread machine recipe?

Accepted Answer

No. This machine cannot handle doubling due to pan size and mixing capacity. The only way to double this recipe is to have more than one bread machine. This is the only draw back to making bread in a machine, bulk batching isn't an option.

Question 7

Is this gluten-free bread good for toast and sandwiches?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this loaf is specifically designed to be a soft gluten-free sandwich bread that holds together for toast, grilled cheese, and packed lunches without crumbling.
