                         TIPS:

1. Buy a machine that makes the one-and-one-half pound square-type loaf. 
This will enable you to make medium and small size loaves that are easy to 
slice for sandwiches and toast. We do not recommend making large size 
gluten-free loaves.

2. Gluten-free doughs are sticky and difficult to mix. Help your machine by 
checking on the dough often during the first five to ten minutes. Scrape 
down the sides of the pan with a soft rubber spatula.

3. Gluten-free dough does not look like ordinary wheat dough. Gluten-free 
doughs require more liquid and, in some recipes, resemble a batter more 
than a dough. By observing the dough mixing during the first five to ten 
minutes, you will get a feel for what gluten-free dough should look like 
and be able to adjust the liquid and dry ingredients accordingly.

4. The dough will mix more readily if you always add the liquid ingredients 
first. Do this even if your machine recommends that dry ingredients should 
go in first.

5. Gluten-free breads require extra yeast to rise. Some recipes will double 
or triple the amount of yeast called for in a similar recipe made with 
wheat flour.

6. If your machine has a yeast dispenser, do not use it. The bread will 
rise higher if you sprinkle the yeast on top of the dry ingredients just 
before you start the machine.

7. A combination of three or four flours will taste better than a mixture 
of just one or two flours. The bread will rise higher as well.

8. Never buy your flours from an open bin. They may be contaminated with 
small amounts of gluten-containing products. Use only products that are 
sealed in a package.

9. Wheat-free ingredients are not the same as gluten-free products.

10. Potato starch flour is not the same as potato flour. Potato flour is 
heavier and does not work well in gluten-free breads.

                         INFORMATION:

  Since only flours containing no gliadin and prolamin can be used to make 
bread for people with celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis, a 
substitute for gluten must be used to make the dough rise. An excellent 
substitute for gluten is xanthan gum, a natural product made from 
Xanthomonas campestris. This micro-organism is grown in the lab for its 
cell coat, which is dried and ground to form xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is 
added as a powder to the dry bread ingredients. One teaspoon is needed for 
every cup of gluten-free flour. You can buy this product at your local 
health-food store.
