Wheat free raisin bread in a breadmaker

[mumat39]

Hello

I'm thinking of buying a Panasonic breadmaker to make wheat free bread but would also like to use it for making raisin and other fruit bread. Is this possible with the Panasonic Breadmakers with the gluten free setting?

I'm also wondering if i could also add other ingredients to the basic recipe like olives or tomato. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've got a Panasonic breadmaker but never used the gluten free setting. I've just checked the recipe booklet you get with it and it has recipes for gf spicy fruit, date and raisin, almond and honey, pesto and pine nut, sundried tomato and parmesan loaves (using juvela, trufree, schar or glutafin mixes).

Obviously can't verify the quality of gf bread but all other bread comes out beautifully!

Thanks Londonmum123. That's really kind of you to look it up for me.

I can't decide whether to go for the one with the nut/raisin dispenser or the one without. hmmm.. decisions decisions.

:)

Oh gosh, no problem at all. I hope someone who uses the gf setting comes along soon.

Definitely go for the one with a dispenser - any seeds, fruit, raisins etc will need to be added via the dispenser. You'll be limited to plain loaves otherwise. Is there a big price difference?

Hello again

The difference is about £20. The one without is 98.60 and the one with 117.28 from amazon.

REALLY expensive but from everything I've read Panasonic is the way to go. Can I ask? Which model do you have?

Hi,

That's quite a price difference. I still think if you're spending that much money go for the one with a dispenser.

I've had mine for about 10 years (it was bought as a Christmas present when I was a student!). The model is SD 253 it doesn't look as 'modern' as the one on Amazon but appears to have all the same functionality.

If you're in no rush, and no one comes back with gf experience, I can try making a gf loaf and let you know how it goes?

Hello again Londonmum123

Hope you've had a good day.

Thanks for the offer of trying to bake a GF loaf for me. That's so so sweet of you. I've actually placed my order with Amazon so thanks for your help with this.

I went for the one with the dispenser so eeek at the cost but I'm hoping in the long run it'll save me money. DD has multiple allergies including wheat and we therefore buy GF bread and for a small loaf it costs about £2.99 and as I can't buy it easily I order it online and it costs loads so fingers crossed in the long term this will save me loads of money. As long as I can get the same results that you and the vast majority of reviewers on Amazon I'll be happy.

Can't wait for it to arrive now and have a go.

Thanks again for your help.
