25Gluten Free Breads
We understand the importance of a staple food such as bread in a Coeliac’s diet. Realising
that there have been breadmakers on the market that do not deliver a suitable Gluten Free
loaf, our objective, with the help of the Coeliac Society of Australia, was to develop a recipe
that produced a real result.
So all you have to do is simply add the ingredients, press a button and leave the
rest up to the Sunbeam Bakehouse.
Baking a successful Gluten Free loaf takes practice and a better understanding of the different
ingredients. In order to help you along the path to a perfect Gluten Free loaf we have included
some handy hints and ingredient information that you should read before attempting to bake
your Gluten Free loaf.
Handy Hints
• For optimum results carefully follow the instructions for each recipe.
• All the Gluten Free recipes can be frozen and will keep well.
• To ensure that all the ingredients have combined sufficiently, you may need to assist the
kneading cycle. When baking your first few loaves you should inspect the dough texture
approximately 5 minutes into the knead. If there is any unmixed dry ingredients use a
plastic spatula and scrape down the sides of the baking pan, and mix in the same direction
as the blade is rotating.
• Do not use the Time Delay setting when making Gluten Free bread as some ingredients are
perishable and may spoil.
• Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
• It is normal for Gluten Free bread to be heavy and slightly dense in texture. These breads
should be at least 10-12cm in height and rich in flavour. For a lighter loaf you may reduce
the salt quantity to 1/2 teaspoon.
• Weigh all ingredients, including water for best results.
• Use metric measures for all dry ingredients.
• When using vinegar never use malt vinegar.
• Remove the baking pan from the baking chamber immediately after the bake cycle is
completed. Never leave in for the Keep Warm function.
• Leave bread in the baking pan for approximately 7 minutes before removing onto a cooling
rack.
• If you would like any further information on baking Gluten Free bread we advise that you
contact the Coeliac Society in your state.
26Gluten Free Breads continued
Flours
• A blend of flours will give a better result and assist in browning.
• When using only rice flour you will get a pale crust on top, regardless of the cooking time.
• Both fine and course white rice flour works well.
• If using rice flour only you may find your bread will go stale quicker when compared to using
a blend of flours. The addition of oil will help keep the bread fresh for longer.
Consistency
• The dough should resemble a thick cake mix. Check 10-15 minutes into kneading and if
the consistency is too thick add a little water - 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Environmental factors can have a large effect on the consistency of the dough. A change in
atmospheric conditions can affect the reaction of the yeast. For example if baking bread on
a wet, humid day, you may need to reduce the water by 10-20mls to achieve the desired
consistency for the dough.
