Pamela’s Gluten-Free Bread Mix, 4 lb Bag

Buying gluten-free bread has been so hit or miss lately. Probably 40% of the time when I buy bread now, there has been something wrong with the package because the bread has either been hard or it's moldy. So, I decided it was time to make my own. I tried Pamela's, because it has such a good reputation. I have used the gluten-free flour before and it was good. The gluten-free bread mix did not disappoint. The final product turned out awesome. The taste and texture was good. The mix is so very easy to use. I baked it in a pan, because I couldn't find the paddle for my bread machine. lol! I love the fact that you put all of the ingredients in the stand mixer and do not have to add the warm water to the yeast or kneed the bread. One thing I will add, is that you need to use regular yeast, not the fast acting, when adding it directly to the flour. I discovered this after I made my first loaf and it made a huge difference. Very easy to make, tasty, I highly recommend.

After buying store bought gluten free bread, a few different brands, I knew there must be a better solution. So the solution I came up with is "make your own stupid"! So I bought a bread machine. Bought 3 different flours and I started making my own gluten free bread. I admit the first couple were so-so but edible. Now that I have been at it awhile I have learned how to really make gluten free bread via the bread machine. All 3 flours produced decent bread but Pamela's Bread Mix so far has produce bread closes to the taste of real bread. Of course by real bread I mean bread using wheat. If you are thinking of making your own bread I suggest using this flour and don't get frustrated when you start, it is different from using wheat based bread, but you'll quickly get used to it. I am 78 years old and still learning.
