    Bread Maker Recipe

    After about 5 attempts of trying to make bread in my bread maker with fine fiber flour I finally had success.

    I have had a bread maker for a long time its a Panasonic SD-2500 model. I used the Gluten Free Fibre Bread Mix menu. First of all I used my measure jug and put 50ml of warm water, then put 3 tsps of yeast and then covered it with sweetner, (canderel). I left it for about 15 minutes. If you do not see it interact and ferment slightly try again as you may waste a lot of flour like I did. Put the flour into bread maker first then add a little bit more sweetner if desired. Then I added 1/2 a tsp of baking powder (I don't know if it made a different but was determined to make it rise). Tsp of apple cider vinegar. 2tbsp of EVOO. I added the yeast mix and 150ml hot water from kettle. 200ml cold water. Try to cover all the flour with the water. It took 150 minutes and as soon as the breadmaker beeped I took the bread out instead of waiting on it to cool down. This made the crust less chewy. My family loved this bread as much as they did when I used to make

    my old recipe with heaps of sugar. I sliced the bread up with my bread slicer and froze it in individual bags so I could have one slice a day and it tastes as fresh as the day I made it.

    Looks very much like white bread, what were your problems with your first 5 attempts, we should learn from other peoples mistakes, no? I like to use a blend of utlra-fine and regular fiberflour, have you tried say 50/50 of each. I believe it improves either one on its own. Great post, thanks a bunch, Gerry

    Hi Lucia, what was the amount of flour you used ?

    I used 500g of flour. My problem was that the bread would not rise. I used inulin to try and get the yeast to react but it didn't work so tried canderel and it worked.

    I have not had good luck using large loaves. 500g of flour plus 370g water plus yeast, salt, etc gives a loaf weighing around 800g. That's not going to bake well in the very center of the loaf unless you get lucky. Also inulin is not the best for activating yeast, a teaspoon of sugar is not going to make much difference to the macros if you really want to do that step of activating yeast, but I don't do the yeast activation as a separate step. Just put the yeast in a hollow in the fiberflour put warm water on the yeast and it will activate using the 15% carb & starch already in the fiberflour. I found Allinson's Dry Active yeast works perfectly in minutes every time. Try smaller loaves or rolls??

    I use 400g of water. I made another loaf today with same method. I look a photo before slicing.

    Hey Lucy, firstly that looks fantastic. Just wondering if you have been able to work out the carb count for the koaf?

    Nice rise on that one. Was the centre cooked well. Some people are having problems with wet centres?

    Yes it was perfect in the middle. My biggest problem with the bread machine was getting the loaf to rise but whatever I am doing its working for me.

    I worked out the nutritional data on Lucey's recipe using just Ultra-Fine Fiberflour

    The carb level will actually be lower than calculated by 2-4% based on the fermentation of carb by the yeast during proofing.

    I love your response but it’s not made for people if my limited brain function 😃. So potentially the carb count on the fluffy bread rolls would be negligible?

    It's really simple, yeast are live microbes that convert carbohydrates to CO2 gas, alcohol and multiply into millions more yeast cells that become highly nutritious foods as well. So yes, fermentation during proofing your dough reduces the carb level further, at least another 2% maybe 4%, all good news.

    Thanks so much, that’s really helpful

    Hi, Hi, I use ultra fine fiber flour, but almost always I don't cook in the middle .. I also talk about cakes or plumcakes ... do you have any suggestions for me? Tks

    Cook for longer and lower temp if it looking like burning on surface.

    Just made this using the breadmaker recipe with the flour quantities swapped, added some seeds and 1 teaspoon of xantham gum. I used the Panasonic white dough setting with dark crust. This was my 5th attempt and the results were amazing.

    That looks lovely the seeds would add variety. I have changed my recipe slightly and do not add the baking soda anymore just another teaspoon of yeast. Still add a bit of canderel as I feel it activates the yeast but now add inlulin to sweeten. My bread is now huge and can hardly fit in the bread slicer.

    Looks good, but I wouldn’t wish to use Canderel, as it contains aspartame...
