Gluten Free Bread
Gosh I do so love bread – every sort and I love a bread maker too. I especially love this Gluten Free Bread
It also happens to be yeast free – which is great when you can’t get hold of yeast
BUT I simply cannot resist it with shed loads of butter so I’m not making it that often!
Great for family and Crusty Bread is my total fave, you know the sort, doorstep style! (this bread maker is also great!)
However sometimes I have my #glutenfree friends over, or I fancy some real proper healthy bread.
I then always turn to my friends Gluten Free Bread recipe….. which also happens to be vegan and yeast free
So why Gluten Free Bread?
My lovely friend is verging on going Vegan (verging) and certainly cutting down and going a tad more plant based.
She is also looking at cutting out Gluten and I too am certainly reducing my gluten content.
This isn’t due to being coeliac obviously.
That’s a whole different thing and very serious.
Coeliac disease
The following info is from Coeliac UK who’s strap line is ‘Live Well Gluten Free’ – have a look. However a little about Coeliac disease:
- Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune disease caused by a reaction to gluten.
- 1 in 100 people have the condition.
- Symptoms include diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, stomach cramps, mouth ulcers, fatigue and anaemia.
- In undiagnosed, untreated coeliac disease there is a greater risk of complications including anaemia, osteoporosis, neurological conditions such as gluten ataxia and neuropathy, and although rare there’s an increased risk of small bowel cancer and intestinal lymphoma.
- Once diagnosed, it is treated by following a gluten free diet for life.
- Dermatitis herpetiformis is the skin manifestation of coeliac disease.
Gluten Intolerant?
However more of us are becoming aware that maybe we are a little intolerant to gluten?
I know for sure than when I eat ‘less’ gluten I do feel less bloated, it’s a simple fact for me.
So why not make a few switches? After all there are a huge variety of Gluten free products available to all of us these days in the supermarket.
I switched to gluten free pasta a while ago and am now looking at bread where I can.
Gluten Free Bread
Here’s Jane’s recipe which is actually from My New Roots website, with a few tweaks from her. It tastes amazing!
It’s packed full of proper healthy stuff, some ingredients you may need to visit a health food shop for, but it’s a really easy recipe and great with a bowl of soup!

So have a go at this lovely gluten free and vegan bread, it’s so good for you!
Thanks Clare
