I want to make wheat free bread in a breadmaker, do I just swap the flour?

Question

And is it soya flour I need or is there another type? I've heard about rye bread but was told it was a bit on the heavy side so any other suggestions would be great.

Answer 1

Rye flour & oat flour you can cut it with soya flour to lighten it
also you could try multi grain. yes it is just made in the same way, just change the flour.

Answer 2

Not sure if that will work. You can buy recipe books for making wheat free breads etc. You may find some recipe on the net if you do a web search.

You could try mixing the rye with soya flour see if that works, or rye with rice flour - would be interested to see how you get on. Perhaps you can update in comment after you have tried.

Good luck

Answer 3

No - you cannot just swap the flour over. Try using the Dove's farms flours - the instructions are printed on the packets for both bread machines and making bread the traditional way.

The gluten in normal flour is helps the bread to rise as well as the yeast - wheat free flour doesn't have this and needs to be made into bread in a different way.

Answer 6

Try Spelt flour. It is closely related to wheat, but is gluten free. You could also try rice flour, or stop by your local whole food, they have a ton of wheat flour substitutes, and if it is too hard to decide, they also have gluten free bread machine bread mixes. I hope this helps

You need to get a breadmaker that specifies it will do wheat free as it doesn't form a dough, it is rather liquidy. the best wheat free bread mix i know if is available at www.lakelandlimited.co.uk
