Does this bread need microwaved prior to eating? I have celiac disease and most bread I purchase, it is very hard. Therefore, we need to microwave it.

This is good and stays together. You don't need to microwave before using,but I do make grilled cheese with meat or tuna and it's wonderful. They are thick slices so it makes a thick sandwich. I used to make my own bread with the bread machine until I discovered Udi's. All their products a very good. My husband is the one with celiac for about ten years now.

No it is soft but I suggest its kept in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.I will also let you know that the slices can have a lot of holes in it so when buying it be sure to examine the loaf before purchasing it. Good luck and take care.

My husband never microwaves it. He usually toasts it but sometimes eats right from the bag. Hope this helps =)

I put it in the toaster...I've never tried microwaving it. While it's no match for "real" bread, it's the better of the other GF breads I've tried. Hope that helps.

I never microwave it. I will often times toast it. It is one of the best GF breads that I have tasted. It holds together better than most.

Angel: New Breadman Ultimate Plus:Purchased new machine on Amazon, baked with reg flour and came out great, twice tried Red Mill gluten free bread mix following the instuctions exactly but both came out larger than 1/1/2 lb and raw in the center of the loaf. Anyone have any suggestions?

No, is my experience. I have used it (and this is by far and away the best ready-made flour to approximate gluten-ful) on the dough cycle to mix and knead, but as with all gluten-free recipes, letting the mixture sit over night before baking is key to a decent result. The mixture will still be soupy and I use loaf pans to bake it. The gluten-free websites are now many, and they can help.

I made gluten free bread as well as bread with gluten. They both turned out great. .however the machine pan locked up and failed after just a few months and I ended up throwing the machine out and getting a different one. It turned out to be just about impossible to replace the pan.

I can only think of two reasons: 1. Location and 2. Recipe Ingredients. I have been baking Gluten Free Breads since I got this bread maker and when the recipe came from a reliable source, a real book or a mix, they all turned out wonderful. The Internet has many faulty recipes with misprints in the amounts of ingredients, so I have learned not to rely on them. Do you make sure that the water temperature is correct and all the ingredients (including eggs and milk are also room temperature? Test the recipes by setting it to just dough and watch if the dough rises as it should. Then bake in the oven. You might get some answers that way. Good Luck! I can only think of two reasons: 1.

This flour has gluten, and if you're doing a traditionally kneaded dough you don't HAVE to add any gluten. You'll definitely get a lighter loaf if you add gluten, though. I use this for no-knead bread and it makes wonderful loaves, but I do add gluten.

I have done it before w store bought. One time we got store bought fresh bread and got home to find out it wasn't sliced... Wish I could use it with the rolls from the store but that would be tricky.

In my opinion it will not keep the bread any longer than if you left it outside the box; it is just a good way to organize it and keep it off your counters or in your microwave (as storage). Yes, leave it in the bag and you do have to clean crumbs out or you could get bugs.

I doubt it. For one thing, it is too big for most microwave ovens. Second, what's being baked? Breads don't bake at all in microwaves. A glass or ceramic microwave bowl or casserole would be better for a microwave.

Yes, I have made several loaves of gluten-free bread using recipes from the internet. Gluten free bread is much more dense and heavy, but tastes good. Definitely worth the effort if you have gluten problems.The little turning blade sticks in these loaves more than regular bread so you have to take it out when finished baking.

I have not had much luck with making whole wheat/whole grain breads. I have tried using the recipes in the book that came with it & followed recipe exactly, no luck. I have made homemade breads of all types by hand for years so I am not a novice bread baker. I would try a different machine.

I personally have not used this machine for gluten-free bread. However, I did purchase the "Bread Machine Cookbook" by Beth Bensperger (Amazon books). I'll quote her chapter on Gluten Free Breads. "You need to have a strong motor in your bread machine to make these breads, one that is capable of handling whole wheat doughs, because the gluten-free doughs are like thick sticky batters. This book contains 3 recipes courtesy of Lisa Brugellis of Welbilt of America. Hensperger states that the "Welbilt Millennium bread machine models" all of which have a special Non-Gluten Bread cycle. Having said this, she also suggests that if you don't have this special cycle on your machine to use the Quick Yeast Bread cycle. The Sunbeam does have a Whole Wheat cycle, but not a Quick Yeast cycle. Hope this helps a little.

http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2011/08/gluten-free-bread-machine-tips.html She has some great tips and recipes! I've tried 20 different recipes in this bread maker. All different types, including pizza dough, dinner rolls, etc. None gluten free, yet, though. This machine has not failed me yet!

No you don't have to butter the bread. The bread gets crusty brown and the cheese gets gooey soft without butter :-). My favorite sandwich is fresh sliced chicken breast, light mayo, cracked pepper, lettuce. You pop it in for a couple minuted and the chicken is lightly warmed and the bread is crunchy. We always use sliced sourdough!

Depends on the size of your baking pan. I use a standard size 4 x 8 to bake gluten free (celiac) sandwich bread and haven't had any trouble.

When I make this bread I use milk, coconut oil, 2 eggs, not water and not just egg whites and a yolk/ I don't find that it fall aparts put it is not your store bought bread that has wheat which acts like glue. Don't know if this helps but I love this bread for my toast in the morning.

Hi Aunt Bee! There's no trick to getting this bread crispy. It doesn't. It gets "stiff and chewy" with a delightful toasty flavor and darkens in color the longer you toast it. Come to think of it....regular toasts don't get "crispy" either? Oh well, Aunt Bee, perhaps potato chips might be more fun?
