This morning I was asked to post a bread maker recipe that we use. My daughter is HFI as well as Gluten Free.
It is a super easy recipe and I make once or twice a week. I mix it in a mixing bowl and once it is throughly combined, I transfer to the bread maker pan. It takes about 3 hours to be ready to serve. It is a slightly modified recipe from the Cuisinart Bread Maker cookbook. This cookbook came with the machine, but can also be looked up online.
Cheesy Gluten Free Loaf
2 3/4 cup Gluten Free Flour (we use Cup4Cup brand)
2 tspn Xanthan Gum
1/2 tspn Gelatin
1 tspn Salt
1 cup Shredded Cheese (Cheddar, Parmesan or Feta)
Sprinkle of Oregano or Rosemary, if you like
Mix dry ingredients throughly. Add wet ingredients.
2 Tblspn Olive Oil
1 tspn White Vinegar
2 Eggs
11/2 cup Warm Milk (80 - 90 degrees F)
Mix throughly. Lastly, add yeast.
1 package Dry Yeast (2 1/4 tspn if purchased in bulk)
Mix throughly.
Pour into bread maker pan and set settings.
The settings on the Cuisinart Machine for this are 9 (GF), Medium Loaf, Medium Crust and start.
Hope that this works well and is enjoyed for those that try it :-)

That is it ! It has been super easy for us. You do have to mix it all before hand though vs dump in and let it do the mixing 100%. Not sure if that is normal . I like it though and makes life so much easier !!

Hm. Do you mean just the dry or both dry and wet ingredients?

I mix it all together before putting it in the bread maker. Makes for no crumbs left behind 😊

Ah, ok. I have duly hinted to husband that this would make an excellent Christmas gift.  I currently spend all day making bread. |

I had a bread maker but was disappointed in the type of bread it made. Also, the center of the bread had a paddle-shaped hole. This made about 30% of the bread baked unusable (aside from turning it into breadcrumbs).
Does this breadmaker also leave a paddle-shaped hole in the middle of the baked loaf?

I think it did when I used to I leave the machine do the mixing. It has been a while, but it works great now.

I used a breadmaker but always turned the dough out in to normal bread tins for its final proving and cooking .. then no holes and much better flavoured bread.  However a normal mixer will suffice particularly if you have breadmaking "hooks". |

So, I got my bread maker for Christmas and am loving it. I have successfully made the gluten free bread I was was making by hand before which I'm thrilled about. Need to experiment with other types now. I have been letting the machine do the mixing because I do despise dealing with the sticky, thick batter (gluten free breads do not form a dough) that is involved in g-free baking. I do need to pre mix the dry ingredients, however, as I need to blend several different kinds of flour together. And, Colormist, this machine will beep at you before the final rise so that you can take the paddle out! That way you only have a very small circular hole where the paddle attaches. Also, the way the loaf pan is shaped, the paddle if it is left in doesn't leave as large a hole as these machines used to leave. Last time I used one was over 10 years ago, they have been vastly improved since then. I do remember back then that that hole left by the paddle literally ruined half the loaf. Not so anymore.

That's great news Antonia! Thank you for the follow-up. I might have to look into making bread again! I have, these past few weeks, been making no-knead bread, but it takes two days before I have bread! The bread turned out so pretty that I had to take a photo!  Super-simple recipe can be found here: www.simplysogood.com/2010/03/crusty-bread.html |

That photo is great and the bread looks amazing.
I have been paying more attention to the paddle making gap in bread since this was posted.
It seems that when the batter is more wet, it does not do this at all.
