Homemade White Bread:





1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)


1 tablespoon sugar


1 2/3 cups warm fat-free milk (100掳 to 110掳)


2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted


4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


Cooking spray





Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in butter. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 4 1/4 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture; stir until blended. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).





Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85掳), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. Punch dough down; let rest 5 minutes. Roll into a 14 x 7-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Roll up rectangle tightly, starting with a short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place roll, seam side down, in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.





Preheat oven to 350掳.





Uncover dough. Bake at 350掳 for 45 minutes or until loaf is browned on the bottom and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove loaf from pan, and cool on a wire rack.





Yield: 1 loaf, 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

(*-*)Carli Gazoorian - What is a good banana bread recipe?
I highly recommend that you obtain a copy of Bernard Clayton's ';New Complete Book of Breads.'; I've used this book so many times in the past year that it's come apart already. Every single bread recipe I've tried is superbly delicious and comes out perfectly. The ';Hana Banana Nut Bread'; recipe is the best banana bread I've ever had. Evidently it's named after a town in Hawaii. It's also a very easy recipe.

Gluten free bread recipes?
Since you already got a ton of breads, the other thing I do is buy the large corn tortillas and instead of a sandwich, I do the ';wrap thing. If he heats up the tortilla it is a lot softer and less likely to fall apart on him.Other options are to do the soup and gf corn muffin, or gf pasta (Tinkyada does not get mushy) salad (add chicken, veggies, etc. with Kraft Italian dressing on it) instead of a sandwich. Pasta is a lot easier to pack than soup,lol!


Hope this helps!
Your best thing is to buy a gluten free cookbook or look on celiac disease websites. My cousin has celiac, but I don't have any recipes on hand.





Some gluten free companies make mixes--Gluten Free Pantry and Pamela's are both really good. I *love* the Gluten Free Pantry brownies. Definitely the best brownies.
I don't know if you want sweet bread or regular bread, but here are some recipes with he link for the instructions next to them.

my dad's girlfriend is celiac, so they buy gulten free bread from Whole Foods..it's actually not bad. You just have to find a good brand. Also, when she wants something fresh baked she buys the gluten free baking mixes. We get them at Whole Foods, Stop and Shop (in the healthy food section) and Ocean State Job Lot. You can probably buy them online too. The brand is Bob's Red Mill. Arrowhead Mills also sells some...
Have you tried Zucchini breads? But before trying them pls clear it with someone, if that doesn't cause any allergy.





Anyhow, here you can find good Zucchini bread recipes

  • Does anyone know of a wheat free bread recipe without xanthan gum?

    Use Coconut flour instead of your regular flour. I haven't tried it with a yeast bread recipe yet but it makes wonderful cakes with just a hint of the coconut. I know sugar feeds the yeast but there's no gluten in the coconut flour so it probably wouldn't rise. If you make a quick bread instead of a yeast bread, it would work. Coconut flour makes a nice raised cake.Does anyone know of a wheat free bread recipe without xanthan gum?
    I've heard that you can substitute gelatin for the xanthan gum. Who wants to eat gum, blech? Gelatin is at least good for your bones. Report Abuse

    Been trying different raisin bread recipes. Still seems to be a little dry. what might the solution be? thanks

    You'll actually want to avoid adding more water directly to the recipe. You may increase the amount of fat added to the recipe slightly. If your recipe calls only for vegetable oil, replace it with butter (1 or 2 tbsp.)





    Another possible solution would be to soak the raisins in hot water (rehydrate them) before adding them to the recipe, it will cause the raisins to soak up less water as the bread is baked. Be sure to drain the excess water before adding them.





    If you are using granulated sugar you may replace some of the sugar (maybe 1/3 of a cup) with honey.Been trying different raisin bread recipes. Still seems to be a little dry. what might the solution be? thanks
    If your recipe calls for any kind of oil, try replacing it with applesauce, it can replace oil in almost any recipe, and all the experiences I have had with the applesauce, it really makes it moister...
