They do make others like pancake mix, buckwheat pancakes and Brownies too!!I am so happy that I don't feel sick all of the time after I eat. I thought everybody felt sick after eating. And like you I MISS BREAD. My fiance and I are working on a recipe for homemade bread. We are not quite there yet but we will make one.
Anyway I hope you can use the recipe
I have to be honest, I think Bob's Red Mill mixes are horrible!!! I used to do all my own baking, everything from scratch, and my father is a professional chef and my standards are pretty high. BRM tastes a lot like cardboard to me, though I do use his flours to make my own mixes. If you get a chance, try
Pamela's Bread Mix. She also puts out a baking mix that makes pancakes that are great & a brownie mix that is very naughty. I can't just eat one! I add some molassas to the bread mix, which gives it more of a wheat flavor. Adding teff to a bread mix will help give it more of a wheat flavor and texture also, which is helpful if designing your own bread mix. I wish you and your fiance great luck and hope you come out with a fantastic bread recipe!! Let me know how it goes.
I know what you are saying and had to smile when I read your post. I also thought everyone felt sick after eating. And while it isn't polite to talk about, I thought everyone had the runs all the time after eating. Heck, you eat, your body gets rid of the old stuff... :roll: And mouth sores, didn't everyone have those too... :roll:
Sadly I cannot use Xantham gum. The microbes are grown on corn products and if you are allergic to corn then xantham gum is out. There are other things to replace it with though. And I make my own baking powder with arrowroot instead of cornstarch and it works great.
My grandson will be up here for a couple weeks in July and I think I'm going to go down and have him tested for Celiac. My daughter is always saying how he has a cold and I keep telling her it isn't a cold, it's allergies. I am going to feel horrible if I passed this down to him, but if he does have it, it'll be much easier on him to change his diet now so that he's used to it as he grows up.
