Does this flour have gluten added? Do I have to add some more gluten if i want to bake a bread?

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 personally don't add gluten to my whole wheat bread products, whole wheat naturally contains gluten. It is just in a smaller amount. I have found that if you soak your flour, your gluten has more time to work and I have been very happy with everything I have made. Do a google search about soaking grains and you will find that it is also a far more healthy way to prepare any of your baked goods. I have even used this for pizza dough with success and a happy family.

No. This is bread flour. I have not had to add gluten to any wheat flour I have used to make bread.

If you use a preferment in making your bread, use this flour. The water will soften the the bran in the flour.

We make all of our bread with this flour, and yes, we get much better results by adding some vital gluten.

I have been using this to bake bread, combined with other flours, no problem. It's not that the gluten is added, rather it is that some types of wheat berries have a naturally higher gluten content, making them better for bread baking. Thus the naming of the flour as "bread" flour. The recipe I use can be found, with video, at my blog titled "the nature of brown whyte"Hth,Holly

It's fine for most cakes, muffins, quick breads, and cookies. You can successfully sub this flour in for AP flour in most recipes. Anything requiring bread flour or cake flour needs it's specified flour, though. Bread flour has the most gluten (needed for structure) and cake flour has the least amount (for a delicate texture).

This bread is high gluten already and makes good bagels and pizza dough. I mix it with my starter and it makes delicious bread.

There are 4 grams of protein in this flour, not sure how it translates into %. However, I make great bread with it. No additional gluten is needed, however, some bread recepies I've made do call for it.

I was thinking that some gluten free recipes call for baking soda but not enough to cause an aftertaste. Gluten free baking usually uses xantham gum if it's not already in the flour. This is usually the "magic" ingredient that makes it feel like bread and not a brick. Go to the bobsredmill website and check out their gluten free recipes using this particular flour and you might find some you like. The only problem I have with this flour is it's bean based which to me makes it have an aftertase.

Oh no... Follow whatever recipe you are using! But if you are using a regular 'non-gluten free' recipe, you may have to reduce your liquids some (this flour is moister than regular flour). I have played around with our family recipes until I found the right consistencies. The results are the same or even better than using regular flour! And as Becky said... check out www.pamelaproducts.com.

Assuming there are no trace amounts of flour in this product, then it should be gluten-free, since gluten is only found in grains like wheat, barley and rye.

Yes, you can make gluten free bread with the CKSTBRTW20. You simply use all of your gluten free ingredients on the "Wheat" setting, and it will come out just fine.

No, this was created using the traditional flour and water, then dehydrated. It can still be rehydrated and grown with gluten-free flours and used to rise gluten-free breads, though, and the amount of gluten in the finished loaf would be miniscule - unless someone with severe celiac was going to eat it, any lighter gluten sensititivity would be fine. If you want a sourdough starter that is 100% gf, there is a good formula for the mix to "catch" yeast and maintain the starter in the book "The Vintage Remedies Guide to Bread" by Jessie Hawkins. Her gf blend uses quinoa, chickpea, and gf oat flour. Highly recommend the book if gf sourdough baking is your goal.

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 use it in a gluten-free flour mix that I make up, but I have found some suspicious grains in it that look like barley or wheat. Fortunately, I am not overly sensitive to gluten. This has to be ground for flour so you will need a grinder.

It is also composed of other flours. If your are only looking for a top notch healthy gluten free flour, its up to you to decide if you want it. I can tell you it is the best gluten free flour to bake with as it is the closest in simulating real flour. It does nit have the usual grit most gluten free flours produce when you bake.

The online manual says it has a gluten free setting.So my guess is you should be able to bake a gluten free bread.

I bake a lot pastries, cheese pies, cupcakes, soft cakes with nuts and fruit and it is really remarkable flour. However i have not baked a bread. This one is very soft flour so really not sure. I see people use another one for bread thats sold in 25pound bag but is whole wheat, brand Great River Organic Milling and i am planing to order the same but for bread once i buy the bread machine :) hope this helps

Bought this as a gift for a friend. Sorry, not sure if gluten free flour can be used or not. I would assume it would be fine, but I myself have not used the product. Sorry I can't be of more help.

There is one recipe for 100% whole wheat flour (Honey Whole Wheat Bread 1 1/2 lb. loaf). It also calls for a small amount of gluten flour and powdered milk. I have used several other bread cookbook recipes that use a combination of wheat and bread flour and they have turned out well. This is my 3rd bread machine and this is the only one that I have not had regular problems with bread falling once it goes into the bake cycle. I've had slight falling with this machine 2-3 times and it's when I'm trying a new recipe I've never made before. I've been enjoying this machine more than any of the other brands. Hope this helps.

I think you should contact Great River and ask about the specific flour you want. You can contact them through Amazon or directly at great river milling.com.I've never heard of a gluten free wheat flour. I always thought gluten free excluded wheat. I hope you find the flour you want.
