Dairy and Gluten Free

[inertiacreep]

See, I have a mild dairy allergy, and Gluten Sensitivity. Are all dairy free bread items yeast free? To my knowledge I can eat yeast.

Hi, I'm allergic to dairy also. I found the best way to deal with my intolerances is by making my own bread. Do you have a bread machine? I have found it invaluable to me. I'm not really that fond of commercial bread. I'm not sure what they do to it, but to me it tastes like cardboard. Bette Hagman has some excellent cookbooks out, and she explains how to substitute ingredients. I have a limited knowledge of this disease, mostly I know what works for me. The internet has been an invaluable tool in helping me make good decisions as to what to eat. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I was diagnosed about 1993, so have been on this journey for awhile. I just joined a few minutes ago, and am really pleased to have found this website. I have 5 grown children and 10 grandchildren. I live with my DH and a very spoiled kitty. I'm a Home Health Aide and care for the disabled and elderly. My job is very rewarding, because I am able to allow people the dignity of staying in their own home. I probably wasn't much help, but I make bread with using soymilk regularly. I can eat eggs but I do cut down on how many yolks I use. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Judy

I can't drink milk either I use soy milk for everything. It is really good. U can pick up a cheap bread machine at walmart for around $40.00. I use the soy milk called silk It is a little sweet that is what make it taste good. I am also a home health aid have been for 8 years with 4 kids 20,17,15,14 & a grandmother of 6. I know all about stress. But my Dr. put me out of work until they find a correct dx Besides CD. & my hubby does take a lot of stress off of me dealing with the 3 kids that r still at home . Plus between my hubby & my Mother- in -law they take me to the Dr's or the hospitals when I have to go. My mother- in -law is always making me g/f things that I can eat so I will eat 6 small meals a day.I just made brownies & banana bread yesterday & never told my family that it was g/f til after they ate it they loved it & it had soy milk in both of them & my crew hates soy milk. they could not tell the difference.

You might be able to get a bread machine for 40.00 - but the GF dough will burn those machines up in no time. GF dough requires a heavy duty bread machine (or mixer if you use one). GF dough is much more dense & sticky than NGF.

Peg (my wife) burned out or mixer last week mixing up a batch of bread dough. We bought a KitchenAid Professional 5 mixer.

Here's a good bread recipe, it has dairy tho - substitution would be needed for dairy free. I will probably need to figure out this can be made CF as I may need to add CF to my GF lifestyle. This does have yeast too.

Chebe Bread is free of gluten, wheat, casein, lactose, yeast and MSG. Made in a gluten-free environment. http://chebe.com/product.htm. I love their pizza crusts!!!

Here's the bread she was making:

BREAD WINNER (sorry, it has milk and yeast and eggs)

Mix dry ingredients in large bowl:
2 cups gf blend (6/2/1 rice/potato starch/tapioca)
1 cup potato starch
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 Tbls. sugar
1 Tbls. xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup dry milk
1 pkg dry yeast
1 tsp unflavored gelatin

Melt 2 Tbls butter or margarine into 1 1/2 cups water...to 130 degrees.

Add water mixture to dry ingredients and mix.

Add 1 tsp rice vinegar.

Add 3 eggs plus 1 egg white, one at a time, and beat between each.
(room temp eggs..warming in hot water works)

Beat three minutes or longer. Dough should not be too stiff...its hard to describe texture. Put into two regular loaf pans (5X9), one extra long pan, or it makes 12 hamburger buns.

Raise in warmed oven that was preheated to 200 (and turned off) for one hour. Leave pans in oven, and turn oven on to 375 and bake:
30 minutes for buns (I have a hamburger bun pan)
40 minutes for bread
* you can rest foil over the top for the last fifteen minutes if too browned

www.glutenfreepantry.com check out the dairy free bread mix (I'm not a fan of it, but to each their own) and the Tom's GF Light Bread mix, I ammend that, as well as their brownies almost all of their packaging has directions on how to make the items lactose free as well...including their gingerbread!
