Gluten free bread

[SixImpossible]

What do people on a gluten free diet do about packed lunches? We're going through 3-4 loaves a week!

I have a breadmaker with a GF setting. Is it worth making bread at home?

Definitely. If you have a coeliac diagnosis, you can get Juvela white mix on prescription. Each box makes two loaves (there's a sachet of yeast enclosed) and it's really simple, no kneading or faffing about and it's really light compared to most GF bread. It bakes sponge cake pretty well too

I eat salad....or Spanish omelette
I hate gf bread

No coeliac diagnosis. We are trying exclusion diet to get to the bottom (ha ha) of dcs' bowel troubles.

GF pasta salad, rice salad, regular salad, potato salad, GF wraps, cold tortilla, I could go on most GF lunches involve a fork.

Oat cakes, corn cakes, rice cakes, sushi rice (yeah, when I can be bothered, which is frankly never), rice/quinoa/pasta salads, soups, wraps using gem lettuce leaves....

Clearly I mean GF oatcakes etc.

In other words: real food.

Can anyone recommend a non-prescription GF bread mix or recipe?

Doves Farm bread flour/mix is good.
For a quick flat bread - 1 cup gf flour, warm water, tbsp pesto, olive oil - mix flour and pesto and add enough warm water to make a dough that looks like cake mix. Spread a baking sheet with olive oil and then "windowpane" the bread mix over it - making it as thin as possible, spreading it with your hands. Sprinkle more olive oil over and some sea salt,
Grill for about. 3-5 mins, turn it over, sprinkle more olive oil and more salt (and/or cumin seeds).
When it starts to go very brown at the edges it is done (it can curl and catch easily, so watch it). Extra tasty sprinkled with chopped parsley.
Makes a thin, crispy flatbread about 12" by 15" depending how thin you got it.
No idea how well it keeps (ie to put into a lunch box)

That sounds really nice. I shall try it.

Doves Farm White is the only GF bread mix I have found in the supermarket. But our experience of bought GF bread, so far, is that white has the worst texture! But I'll give it a try. Perhaps I could add seeds, like I did when making ordinary bread. I shall have to exeriment, but I don't know any if the science behind making GF bread.

My kids don't have coeliacs but did have bowel problems and a blood test showed up a wheat allergy so I get gf bread on prescription for them. We've found genius or warburtons seeded granary loaf the nicest

I have never found a really nice GF bread in the shops.

The best, very best ever gf bread we have found is from a mail order company in Scotland, they even do tiger rolls. Amazing. But the shipping is pricy. The sliced bread does freeze though.
