Without a doubt, one of the top requests that I receive is for gluten-free bread recipes. Not just any bread recipes, mind you, but the best gluten-free bread recipes!
So today I’m sharing a newly updated version of this collection of the very best gluten-free bread recipes. Recipes for amazing loaves of bread! Here’s a photo of one of the new recipes. Can you believe how pliable and sturdy that slice of bread looks? You’ll find more info on this bread recipe at the bottom of this post.
There are recipes here that I call “mainstream”—gluten free only—but there are also “more-free” recipes, such as dairy free, yeast free, vegan, paleo, and/or primal. I always love giving you enough options so that you’re sure to find at least one recipe that will work for you, and possibly one that will even become a new favorite!
Many thanks to all my blogger friends who have graciously allowed me to share their photos! When you visit their blogs to get their recipes, be sure to read all their notes and follow their directions.
I also recommend that you do a quick scan of their readers’ comments as well. That’s especially true if you have questions about the recipe or wish to make substitutions. Because not only will you see their readers’ reviews of the recipe firsthand, but often you’ll also find answers on substitutions and preferences that you might find very helpful.
And now, folks “start your ovens” (or in one case, your slow cooker—really!) because you are going to want to make these gluten-free bread recipes! (Note: The French bread recipes—including baguettes—that were previously included in this collection are now here.)
This recipe was updated from 2011. The photo above is from that original post.
Note that this collection previously included some recipes for challah. You can now find those recipes in the Top 20 Gluten-Free Challah Bread Recipes collection.
Top 20 Best Gluten-Free Bread Recipes
~ Artisan Bread from Allergy Free Alaska ~ gluten free, corn free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, gum free, vegetarian, vegan
Megan says: “This Artisan Gluten-Free Bread recipe produces a beautiful bakery-style loaf anyone can make at home! Vegan, nut-free, gum-free & nightshade-free.”
Reader reviews: “I just made this bread yesterday–and it’s delicious! I used to make dough from scratch for years before needing to shift to a gluten free diet ten months ago, and this was my first GF bread from scratch. I will definitely be making it again. It was really easy to assemble, it’s quick to put together, and it smells and tastes like legitimate bread (for my kids that miss “gluten bread” this is a huge plus!). I used the dutch oven method (a favorite from making regular artisan bread in the past) and it was fabulous.” and
“I just made this bread and it came out great. My first real homemade bread! And it’s good I’m so proud of myself. I actually used all sprouted flours and it worked fine. I’m super pleased!” and
“I have made this bread several times and it is fantastic. Each time I learn something and it I have tried it on a cookie sheet, a pizza stone and now in a Dutch oven.”

~ Best Ever Gluten-Free White Sandwich Bread from Kim at Let Them Eat Cake ~ gluten free, vegetarian
Kim says this bread tastes like the Wonder-ful white bread you remember. As further proof, she adds that her gluten-full son loves this bread. By the way, Kim shows you exactly how to make this bread in her video with the recipe.
Reader reviews: “I have been gluten free for almost 7 years and have tried many GF bread recipes. I have to substitute xantham gum with psyllium husk since I react to it and most time the bread is mushy in the middle or too dense. Yours was AWESOME! While eating it, I kept saying this can’t be gluten free, it tastes just like the bread I use to eat. THANK YOU!!!!” and
“I’m now making this bread for the second time. I’m very pleased with the taste, texture, and especially the nice crust.” and
“This was so good that it actually made me cry! I haven’t been able to make soft “normal” sandwich bread since my celiac diagnosis until now. This is truly life-changing and I’m grateful for this recipe.”

~ Best Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread from Gluten-Free Gourmand ~ gluten free, rice free, corn free, dairy free, egg free, xanthan gum free, vegetarian, vegan
Gina says: “Bread is supposed to be made vegan. After all, a traditional french baguette is only water, flour, yeast, and salt. Once you get the gluten-free part down, the vegan part should be easy, right?” Her easy instructions make this gluten-free vegan loaf look very easy. And very good! Great reader reviews complete the picture.
Reader reviews: “This is the first GF vegan bread recipe that worked for me. It is also the first recipe where the loaf actually rose in the oven. Great texture and taste … I definitely will be making this recipe again.” and
“Excellent!! First GF dairy free, egg free bread recipe – that you can actually knead – that I’ve made in 10 years that actually works! And it tastes good!”

~ Best Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures ~ gluten free, dairy free
Lynn says: “If you miss thin-sliced sandwich bread this Gluten Free Sandwich Bread is a must try!” She adds: “My family has declared this recipe the best gluten-free sandwich bread that they have ever had. I don’t call recipes the best very often, but we really think this is the best gluten-free store-bought or homemade sandwich bread that we have had. My husband and son do not have to eat gluten free and even they enjoyed this. In fact, my son chooses this over the loaf of regular bread that I had in the cupboard.”
Reader reviews: “This is hands down the BEST GF BREAD ever! This recipe is super easy too! I’ve made lots of GF bread recipes over the years and they all turn out dense and with a weird taste. Not the recipe though! It is so fluffy I told my husband it reminds me of dense angel food cake consistency. Also, it actually toasts in the toaster unlike other breads.” and
“I started making this recipe about 3 months ago & it’s awesome!! My husband, who doesn’t need to eat gluten free, loves it. He will eat a piece with butter as a snack. I have a difficult time finding white rice flour in my area. Brown rice flour is more plentiful. After researching I found I could replace the white with brown so I tried it. I actually like it better!! Thank you for the recipe, it’s wonderful!!”

~ Best Gluten-Free Teff Sandwich Bread from Gluten-Free Gourmand ~ gluten free, rice free, corn free, vegetarian, with dairy-free option
Reader reviews: “Made this last night and it turned out perfect!!!! Hubby & kid loved it too. That says a lot cuz hubby normally only likes extra soft store bought bread. He said this might be THE recipe. I subbed rice flour for sorghum and coconut for potato. Awesome texture- soft! prob needs only 30 -40 minutes cooking in electric oven. I did it at 350 too.” and
“I made the bread as is and it came out amazing. Thanks for the great recipe.” and
“I just made this bread today and I love it! I didn’t have potato starch so I substituted arrowroot starch/flour and it came out great. Thank you so much for this recipe!” and
“I just made this bread, and It’s FABULOUS! Many thanks for creating this great recipe!”
Best Gluten-Free Teff Sandwich Bread from Gluten-Free Gourmand
~ Buckwheat Bread from Allergy Free Alaska ~ gluten free, grain free, rice free, corn free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, refined sugar free, gum free, and vegan
Megan says: “You will be pleasantly surprised at how easy, yet savory and delicious this buckwheat bread is! This gluten-free vegan bread comes together quickly in your electric mixer and requires no kneading. So even when you’re pressed for time, you can still enjoy freshly baked bread at home.”
Reader reviews: “This bread is FANTASTIC! Buckwheat is not my favorite taste, but the soft squishy texture makes this a keeper in my book. Three out of three people who tried it (one not gluten-free) thought it was terrific, and somewhat reminiscent of rye bread. I may try adding caraway seeds next time!” and
“Baked two loaves, and they were fantastic! Love the taste and texture.” and
“This was awesome. Been baking gluten free for 10 years. I have made many bread recipes that I enjoy, but this one is the nearest to gluten bread In texture and crust. I did use buckwheat flour that I bought, live near a buckwheat mill. I did weigh all the ingredients as suggested and think that is key. Thank you for a GREAT recipe. Will definitely make again. FYI I did bake on a pizza stone.”
Gluten-Free Buckwheat Bread from Allergy Free Alaska
~ Blender Bread from Against All Grain ~ gluten free, grain free, dairy free, sugar free, paleo, primal
This amazing grain-free bread was the recipe that helped put Against the Grain on the map! Danielle says: “As I mentioned the other day, I still prefer my Sandwich Bread recipe from my first book Against all Grain, but this one requires a lot less dishes and time so we make it more frequently. It works well toasted for a BLT sandwich, for almond butter and jam sandwiches, French toast, or even a panini.”
Reader reviews: “Made this bread today for the first time and I loved it! I toasted it for a BLT and it didn’t fall apart. This will be bread I will be baking frequently!” and “I tried this recipe last night. It is a very easy to make and easy clean up and tastes delish!” and “I tried this recipe last night. It is a very easy to make and easy clean up and tastes delish!” and “Successfully made this with sunflower seeds instead of cashews (kept everything else the same). Delicious! And a bonus sciency learning experience for us all when we learned about chlorophyll in the seeds and baking soda–the bread turns green! It is so cool–try it with your kids!”
Gluten-Free Grain-Free Blender Bread from Against All Grain
~ Classic White Sandwich Bread from Gluten-Free Gourmand ~ gluten free, xanthan gum free, vegetarian
Gina used her husband, a gluten eater and bread lover, to try out her trials of this bread. Finally, he proclaimed to her after trying a sample of this latest bread: “you can make me this every weekend for the rest of my life.” Now, that’s an endorsement!
She added: “I know my husband likes a bread I made when he immediately plans what sandwich to make from it. Well, he’s done that for every test loaf I’ve made for this bread. A few days ago, in fact, he ate a breakfast sandwich with this bread, got catered burgers for lunch at work, then came home and requested a steak sandwich on the fresh loaf of bread I made. I mean, I knew he liked sandwiches, but now I have a sandwich bread he will consume multiple times daily.”
Reader reviews: “Made it today – turned out great! This will be my new “go to” bread. Thanks for all your work on this recipe!” and
“Thank you SO much for this lovely recipe! I can finally make GF bread for my daughter.” and
“This is a fantastic recipe. I adapted it into a brioche/sweet dough.” and
“I love this recipe and have made this bread successfully many times and have even made a 14″ loaf by increasing the quantities. No gumminess!”
Gluten-Free Classic White Sandwich Bread from Gluten-Free Gourmand
~ Easy Gluten-Free Bread from Audrey Roberts of Mama Knows Gluten Free ~ gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian
Reader reviews: “I have been making this recipe now for a while, almost enough to memorize it. It is the best recipe I have found and leagues better than any store-bought GF bread I have tried. I use the Great Value brand of GF Flour from Walmart and active dry yeast. I use two whole eggs instead of 3 egg whites. I have used maple syrup instead of honey, and it still turned out great.” and
“I have tried a few GF bread recipes and this one is the winner. I used Robin Hood Gluten Free All Purpose flour. I love that it is quick, dairy free and delicious.” and
“After many dense, tasteless, crumbly loaves of bread, we made this one and absolutely loved it! So moist and fresh tasting, easy to slices we ate it without toasting it. I am not celiac and I was impressed at what a lovely loaf of bread this is. Followed the recipe with Cup4Cup flour and 1/2 tsp of Xanthan ……perfect!”
Easy Gluten-Free Bread from Mama Knows Gluten Free

Reader reviews: “This is the best tasting bread I have had in recent years and so easy to make I love it. Thank you.” and
“This is my go-to bread recipe. As a Coeliac, it’s been a game changer. I’ve tried other recipes and this one wins hands down. The only change I make is I add just a little more apple cider vinegar. I toss in toasted sunflower seeds to the mix as well. Thanks so much for sharing such a delicious bread recipe!” and
“Great recipe! My husband loved it. He has histamine intolerance and can’t tolerate whole psyllium husks. So I substituted 1/2 cup chia seeds and 1/2 cup flaxseed meal for the whole psyllium husks. I followed the recipe as written and just replaced the whole psyllium husks.
Thank you so much for the recipe!” and
“Wow. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This is the best vegan, gluten free, yeast free bread I’ve ever baked at home, and I have tried many over the years. Great texture, great taste, satisfyingly filling. Again thank you!”

“I couldn’t find Teff flour so I used Amaranth like you suggested. Wow……what an amazing-tasting loaf of bread and great texture too!! My son was very impressed!!” and

I tried the Oatmeal Millet bread and it’s incredible!! It tastes, smells and looks like bread – THANK YOU!” and
“I want to thank you so much for putting this recipe up. I made it today… Total success! I have tried many many many many bread recipes and this is the first one I’ve been able to make work. I made one substitution I used Namaste’s perfect flour blend instead of each of the different flours that you used in this recipe.” and

“Tonight I made this recipe again after close to a year of being too lazy (and busy) to bake my own bread. I’ve been craving THIS bread and I’m so glad I took the time to make it. I actually had it for dessert! I recommend it to so many people, and have made it at the holidays for non-GF guests who only knew it was GF because I was eating it. I follow the dry ingredient instructions to the letter but use rice milk because I can’t eat dairy.” and
“Thank you so much for this recipe. I have tried so many different recipes for Gluten Free bread that have turned out awful. Your bread looks just like the picture and tastes wonderful.”

“This is delicious. Thanks for a kid-approved recipe! We love it and use it for everything!” and
“Definitely the best grain-free bread I have made! I used homemade cashew butter and have been eating it toasted with butter. My 4 year old who has never liked grain-free bread is asking for it with honey.”

Karina said she started with a multi-grain bread recipe. She added: “My goal was to eliminate starch, and boost the protein power without resorting to bean flour. Quinoa flakes add a hint of oatmeal-like texture. Almond meal gives this tender bread a lovely, fragrant flavor. The crust on this loaf was pleasingly rustic.”

~ Paleo Bread from me/gfe (Gluten Free Easily) ~ gluten free, grain free, rice free, corn free, dairy free, sugar free, yeast free, xanthan gum free, and paleo/primal. (It was inspired by this Golden Flax Bread.)
Reader reviews: ” I’ve been craving bread ever since I saw the recipe, even though I don’t typically bake bread that often. Just had to let you know that it is just as wonderful as I thought it would be! I used 4 eggs, 1/4 cup coconut milk and 2 tsp baking powder, and had to bake it for 35 minutes (maybe because of using the milk instead of the additional egg?) Anyway, I loved it, and so did my husband (who can eat anything). And it is so easy to put together.” and
“The texture is great, very similar to “normal” bread and it has a wonderful golden brown color. I think next time I will reduce the salt a bit and add a little stevia, as I like my bread a touch sweeter. It’s yummy! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!”

~ Perfect Gluten-Free Bread Made from a Mix and Baked in the Crockpot from Stephanie O’Dea at A Year of Slow Cooking ~ gluten free, vegetarian (Additional details on the bread—e.g., dairy free, egg free—will depend on which bread mix you use.)
Did you know that you can bake bread in your slow cooker? Stephanie used a gluten-free bread mix that is no longer available, but any ready-made gluten-free bread mix should work using her method. One reader simply used her favorite bread recipe and baked it in the crockpot using Stephanie’s directions.
Reader reviews: “Oh my, I just tried this. I have a 5 qt cooker, so I had to use an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 pan. I halved the bread mix recipe that I used and shortened the cooking time to 2 1/2 hours. Perfect! No caving, no sinking, no weird globby parts in the middle. A lovely rounded top and great texture. I’m stunned.” and
“I didn’t believe it could be done, so I mixed up a batch of my favorite bread dough from a recipe and threw it in my crockpot. WOW! It was great!”

~ Brown Honey Bread from Mike Eberhart of Gluten-Free Blog ~ gluten free, dairy free
Mike says: “This bread has a wonderful “honey wheat bread” flavor and texture, and is great for sandwiches, toast, French-toast, and so forth. We sprinkle the top with whole buckwheat kernels prior to baking, just for a little something extra. If you have an event coming up where you want to serve a great-tasting gluten-free bread, bake this bread recipe a few hours before the event and you will be sure to have a fresh-out-of-the-oven hit with your guests (and, chances are, most people will not even have a clue it is gluten-free).

Toasted was a revelation!!!!! Make this bread folks and you’ll never feel deprived of regular bread again!” and
“Thank you so much for this recipe, my 8-year old loved it and mama loves not having to pay $9 for bread.” and “I’ve been trying a LOT of gluten-free bread recipes … and this one … is awesome!!! Even my greatest critic (my son) likes it!! No more store-bought bread for me!” and “This is the absolute best bread and my go-to recipe now! It is so much better and cheaper than store bought. Its texture is amazing and so is the taste. Plus it comes together very quickly!” and
“I just made your sandwich bread in my bread maker. I put the wet first, then the dry, and sprinkled the yeast on top. Make sure your water is not too hot. The texture was great. The bread hot out of the bread maker was great with a little butter. It looks and tastes like white bread. I have a gluten-free setting, but I like to use the dough setting, then the bake setting.”

~ White Sandwich Loaf from From the Larder ~ gluten free, rice free, xanthan gum free, vegetarian
Reader reviews: “Hello, I have just baked this bread for the first time. It is a fantastic recipe. It tastes like bread!!! My other attempts at gf bread have not at all. I found the tip about checking the yeast invaluable (one lot thrown away) and also checked temp of bread with thermometer, until got 99 degrees C. Thank you 🙂” and “I have just made this today and it is absolutely fantastic! My first ever proper loaf with perfect instructions all the way – plus handy tips along the way. Thanks, Georgina!” and “This bread turned out perfect! The best gluten free bread! I also made the dough into buns for hamburgers…they were perfect also! Thank you for this recipe! I substituted almond milk for milk and a mixture of arrowroot powder and white rice flour for the potato starch, also two whole eggs in place of egg whites. So happy with this versatile recipe!”

These breads make my mouth water! Thank you for sharing such an array of gorgeous breads.
One question: do you have any YEAST free recipes? I find it so hard to make a nice bread without yeast (no bacteria starter either).
Thanks!
Shirley says
Hi Tara–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I think photos of amazing bread do that to us all. 😉 Grain-free bread recipes never require yeast. I updated the post to include “yeast free” in the descriptions, so you’ll want to take another look to find recipes that work for you. There are several really terrific ones! 🙂

This is a great list! I’ve definitely used some of these recipes before, if not exactly as written at least for inspiration. I’m dedicating the rest of this week on my blog to bread recipes – I’d love it if you stopped by to check it out!
Shirley says
Hey Gina–Nice to see you again! Talk about a coincidence on our timing. 😉 I’m sure that folks will be finding their way over to your blog to see all the bread wisdom you are sharing! 🙂

Hamsami says
How would you use these recipes in a bread machine?
Shirley says
Hi Hamsami–It looks like you are new here–welcome! I’ve never used a bread machine, but fortunately I can point you to some blogger friends who have and offer great advice on using bread recipes in the bread machine. 🙂 Here’s one post from Karina (Gluten-Free Goddess) and another from Linda (The Gluten-Free Homemaker). If you have questions, be sure to leave a comment on their posts so they can answer you directly. Good luck!

Eileen Beran says
Shirley, this is a wonderful collection of breads. I’ll refer to it in the future!

Shirley says
Hi Eileen–Thanks so much! I hope you find some great ones for you and your family. 🙂 Hey, you have a different website name … or do you have two sites?
Shirley
Eileen Beran says
Shirley,
I have just one site but I recently changed my blog title to Eileen’s Everyone Eats Right, so my new domain is currently redirecting to the old one. When my redesign rolls out there will be one domain name and much hoopla on my part!

Anne says
Thank you!!! This is an awesome list. Now I can use challah again for my favorite baked french toast breakfast!
Shirley says
Hi there, Anne–You are very welcome! Your comment made me smile a really big smile … I love that image of you finding a “new, old favorite.” And that breakfast sounds fabulous!

Hi Diane–I know, right? It was clearly time to help folks out with this challenge. 😉 Thanks for bookmarking and sharing with others!
Shirley
Ellen (Gluten Free Diva) says
What a fantastic bread post! You really did a great job of collecting outstanding GF bread recipes. Like Diane, this will be a permanent
bookmark for me. I want to try each and every one of these recipes! Thank you Shirley!
Shirley says
Yay, Ellen! I’m so glad that you’ll be bookmarking this roundup and checking out all these recipes. 🙂 Wish we could have an in-person bake-off, review of them all. That would be fun, wouldn’t it? With a big group of us, we could only indulge so much, right? 😉

Kate @ Eat, Recycle, Repeat says
Shirley, this is a fabulous round up! Thank you! I just passed it onto a friend who is newly gluten-free and dearly missing bread. What a wonderful resource
Shirley says
Oh, Kate, thank you! Both for the kind words and for sharing this roundup with someone who needs it right now. I sooo love that! 🙂
Shirley
Linda says
Shirley, this is a great round up of bread recipes. Thanks for including my French bread. I’m off to share.
BTW, I’m loving getting full posts in my inbox!
Shirley says
Hey Linda–Thank you, and I’m so happy that you created that delicious French Bread recipe so that I could share it with so many!
I was wondering if you’d notice the full posts. 😉 It’s an experiment. We’ll see what others think of it …
Shirley
Alisa says
Oh wow, I bet this will be a popular round-up Shirley!
Shirley says
Alisa–I hope so because that will indicate that I’ve provided a great resource for folks with the help of some terrific bloggers! 🙂

Iris says
Great post, Shirley! You’re right…bread is one of those foods that people miss the most, and finding a good loaf of bread can make all the difference! Whenever I taste really bad commercial gf bread, I get annoyed because I realize that people will assume all gf bread is like that. Not so!
And so many of the breads you highlighted are the same ones I’ve been eyeing forever…too bad I’m eating paleo and nut-free right now. But someday my gut will heal and I’ll be able to try some of these!! As God is my witness. 🙂
Shirley says
Thank you, Iris!! I know exactly what you mean about folks tasting a bad product and assuming that they all are like that. And you know how I feel about most products anyway. 😉 Making one’s own of anything is almost always infinitely better.
And guess what, dear … AndreAnna’s Best Sandwich Bread in the History of Man is paleo and nut free! No kidding. Follow the link and try it out!
xo,
Shirley
Vicky says
Hi Shirley! Ooo don’t these loaves look awesome all on one page!
I love the fact that you’ve indicated Xanthan gum free, dairy free etc!
Thank you!
Shirley says
Hi Vicky–I thought so, too! Like I said to someone earlier, it would be fantastic to have them all on one table and have a little tasting fun. 😉 Glad you enjoyed looking! I’m already thinking about a follow-up post. 🙂
Thanks!
Shirley
Christine says
Nice to see your site is back up. I’m still unable to post or “like” on facebook though and not sure why.
Rogene says
That’s quite a list! Thank you.
Gretchen says
So glad you endured and came back to us – I know what it’s like to fight with the websites, computers, etc. especially when you have no control – thanks again for the wonderful recipes, looking forward to trying some of these breads.
Shirley says
Hi Gretchen–You’re welcome on the recipes and welcome to gfe, too! 🙂 Hope you’ll report back here or on the bloggers’ websites if you try any of these breads. 😉
Shirley
Susan says
Wow — thank you sooooo much for this post Shirley. My mom keep saying, “You need to find a good GF bread recipe instead of spending all that money on a loaf of bread.” Now I’ve got loads to try!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving in the U.S.
Shirley says
Hi there, Susan!–You are sooo welcome, dear. 🙂 I think that not only will you save money, but you’ll also end up eating some pretty amazing bread. 😉
Thanks so much for the Thanksgiving wishes! It’s coming up quickly!

Michelle @ The Willing Cook says
Shirley,
This is an amazing round-up and resource. Which one do I make first? I’m featuring this post on today’s Allergy-Free Wednesday. You can find the feature here: http://willingcook.com/allergy-free-wednesdays-november-21-2012/
Thanks for doing the work on compiling such a great list!

Kelly @ The Nourishing Home says
Hi, Shirley! What a blessing to find you! I was searching for some good GF bread recipes on google and this post came up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it and just shared it with my FB friends. Thanks so much for putting this together. I look forward to giving some of these recipes a try! Lots of blessings to you! 🙂 Kelly
Shirley says
Hi Kelly–Welcome to gfe. 🙂 What a wonderful comment! Thank you! I recently discovered your blog, too, but I’m not sure I’ve left a comment yet. I thought this post would fill a need for many. 😉 I have at least two more parts planned to make this a great series. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the bread recipes that you make from all these great bloggers!
Hugs,
Shirley
Crystal says
Thank you so much for this comprehensive list! Our family has been vegan for 4 months, but only started cutting gluten this week (hoping to clear some eczema issues.) This list helps save me time endlessly searching the web for bread recipes. Much appreciated!
Shirley says
Hi Crystal–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I’m so happy that this post is going to be so helpful to your family in its transition. I’m going to be sharing part 2 of this serie, featuring rolls and biscuits, in the near future. A little preview on that … it will include my Brazilian Un-Cheese Rolls, which are a delightful gluten-free, vegan recipe. Another favorite is my Sweet Potato Biscuits (I’ve been making these with much less sugar lately). Hope those recipes help, too!
Shirley
Sepi says
Hi Shirley, Thank you for sharing the recipes with everyone.I have a question and would be grateful if you could guide me. My boyfriend recently developed gluten intolerance and tried to find a Gluten-Free bread for him, so I tried couple of G-free recipes in my breadmacker (including the one suggested by my bread machine, and some few others with different flours). All results turned out looking great (high rise, beautiful texture etc.) but they had “AWFUL” taste and smell! I just had to throw them out! Though I had bought and tasted prepared G-free bread (like Udi’s white sandwich bread) and I thought they tastes wonderful to me! So I was wondering what is the matter with this awful result that I get!!? all my ingredients are Bob’s Red Mill and I tasted them in my mouth to see if I can realize which ingredient has that bad taste?!!
The recipes I used combined these ingredients:
1.Rice Flour (I used whole grain brown rice flour)
2.Potato starch flour
3.Tapioca flour
5.Xanthem
6.Salt/sugar/yeast/eggs/milk
* In one of the recipies I used 1cup rice flour and replaced the other cup with Bobs redmill G.Free whole purpose flour.
I would appreciate if you could help me with this issue.
Best
Sepi
Shirley says
Hi Sepi!–It looks like you are new here … welcome to gfe. 🙂 Okay, first, I’ll tell you that I have never made gluten-free yeast bread or even bread in a bread machine. Part of the reason that I shared this roundup was to make up for my lack of knowledge in this area and showcase so many others’ talents. All that said, I’ll give you some of my thoughts and hope that others might weigh in, too. First, I’m going to be perfectly honest and tell you that I am personally not a fan of Bob’s Red Mill products. Second, Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour contains garbanzo bean flour (also known as chickpea flour). Many, including myself do not care for the taste of this bean flour at all. Third, tapioca flour can go bad and have a very off taste. The only tapioca flour that I use comes from the Asian or international grocery store and is Asian in origin. It’s very finely ground, which makes for a wonderful texture, and I’ve never had it go bad. Fourth, you might want to specifically take those considerations in mind and then actually try one of the recipes that’s included in this roundup as they’re “tried and true,” so to speak. There are specific posts from experienced gluten-free bread bakers (some of whom are included in this roundup) on using bread machines, too. Take a look at some of these recipes. I believe that some specifically use a bread machine. One even uses a slow cooker to make bread from a mix.
Best of luck, Sepi!

Great list, these look so delicious!!

Dominique says
Hi Shirley and hi to everyone else as well! I’m so excited that I found this site, this leading me to this page with all of these amazing recipes. I’m a huge fan of cooking and baking and recently put myself back on a gf diet due to health issues. It’s so hard to find a prepackaged bread that actually tastes good. Thank you so much for this compilation! Any thoughts on what one to try first if you’re looking for a sandwich type bread? Have a great day!
Shirley says
Hi Dominique–Welcome to gfe! I have not personally made all these recipes. I would suggest going through the posts and looking at the recipes via the links and deciding which to try first based on readers’ comments, what ingredients you wish to use, etc. I love my own Paleo Bread, but it is quite a bit different from traditional gluten-full sandwich bread. I will look forward to any feedback you might have, as I’m sure the other recipe creators will, too. 🙂
Shirley
Lisa McCarroll says
Just looking for a bread recipe to take to my first meeting with the Houston Celiac Support Group. Wow! Thank you for putting this together all on one page with pics. Beautiful.
Shirley says
Hi Lisa–A very belated welcome to gfe! 🙂 I sure hope that the recipe you chose came out great. This post will actually be part of an ongoing series, so stay tuned. 😉
Thanks!
Shirley
Paula Cowan says
Thank you for posting this! I’m still getting the hang of GF (2nd month) and trying to get my head around GF baking. Nice to know I can still make bread. Think I want to try the teff flour one first.
Shirley says
Hi Paula–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 Congrats on going gluten free and already seeing so much success! I hope it continues. I was reading your blog. I’m sure that sharing your story with ongoing resolution of symptoms will help many! Good luck with your bread making!
Shirley
RETHA ELDRIDGE says
I HAVE A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER THAT HAS TO TO GO ON GLUTEN FREE DIET.
Shirley says
Hi Retha–I hope you find a recipe here that you love and can use with your granddaughter. Most of us here don’t eat bread all the time like when we did before going gluten free, but it takes time to get used to that. If I might add a positive perspective here, one advantage of a 2-1/2 year old going gluten free is that there are so many things that they will not have experienced and won’t miss. Being gluten free will be all they remember in the not too distant future.
By the way, there are so many gluten-free sites that are geared towards families and children. Here are a few: Adventures of a Gluten-Free Mom, G-Free Kid, She Let Them Eat Cake, and Celiac Family. You might also want to look at my printable tip sheets (like 50 Foods You Can Eat Today) here.
Best of luck, Retha!
Shirley
Sally says
These all look delicious. Can I make any or all of them in a breadmaker.
Shirley says
Hi Sally–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I would suggest clicking the links of the one you are interested in and asking the originator if you can make them in a breadmaker. I imagine that most of them you could. Non-yeast breads, like my paleo bread, should most likely not be made in the bread machine. Good luck!
Shirley
Lanna Martorana says
This is great! Thanks so much so many options to try. I’m new at the Gluten Free bread making and just purchased a bread machine, and made my first loaf last week. This will be so helpful to have more options. 🙂 Thanks Again for sharing.
Shirley says
Thanks, Lanna. Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I think you will love these bread options. What recipe did you use the first time around?
Shirley
BostonGreekGirl says
OMG you have NO IDEA (well you probably do since I’m sure I am not the only one who has said this LOL). You have NO IDEA how HAPPY, ECSTATIC, DELIGHTED (should I go on?) that I am to have found this wonderful, amazing blog of yours. I am newly diagnosed Celiac & I’m also Greek. We LOVE our bread & you literally been looking for this. THANK YOU!!!
Btw where can I find the other parts (series) to this? I’m new to your website so I am not sure how to find things. I would love to know how to make GF Pita & Flatbread.
I can’t wait to try some of these & also to peruse your entire site. So looking forward to it.
Thanks again, please keep it up!!
BGG
Shirley says
Hi BostonGreekGirl–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I’m so happy that you are over the moon with finding this roundup! The rest of the series is only in draft so far. Life sort of took over. 🙁 Your comment might kick me in gear to get Part II up next week and hopefully, the rest will follow soon after. Sorry it’s not already published and ready for you right now, as was intended. Hope you can wait a bit! 😉
Thanks!
Shirley
amanda says
I have made a few of these récipes and they are quite good. But I just had to say that I made the Honey Brown Bread yesterday and it is FANTASTIC! The crumb is very similar to a wheat bread. It is a Little sweet, so it depends on what you are in the mood for. But well worth it!
Shirley says
Hi Amanda–I’m so sorry for the delayed reply. Welcome to gfe and thank you so much for this terrific feedback! 🙂 Everyone reading will appreciate it, and I’m just so happy you found a recipe that works for you!
Shirley
Des says
Thanks for the dairy-free recipes! Any chance of an egg-free one as well, so we can be totally cruelty-free?
Shirley says
Hi Des–There are a number of egg free and vegan recipes in this bread recipe roundup. They are all labeled.

Kelly says
Hi Shirley,
This list is fabulous and I should have known you would save the day! I’ve been following more of a paleo template so haven’t really dabbled in bread baking since going gluten/paleo free 3 years ago so my question to you is: I’m looking for a good bread recipe that will work well for Thanksgiving stuffing. We now have 4 more family members who have finally listened to me and found out that they are also either gluten intolerant or have celiac disease (mom AND dad, sister and my daughter). So it looks like it is finally going to be a totally gluten free holiday since we have the majority. 🙂 If you have made any of the above breads and can make a recommendation I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all you do lady!
Shirley says
Hi Kelly–It’s great to see you again, and I can always count on your for overly generous feedback–thank you! 🙂 I have to admit that I have not tried any of these recipes for stuffing yet. I have made several of these recipe as breads and they were terrific, but again I can’t speak to how well they’ll do as stuffing. They *should* be fine, but since we’re still in September, you could certainly try one out every few weeks until you find a winner per your personal tastes. 😉 I highly recommend my Surprise Tortilla Chip Stuffing. And, finally, woohoo on so many family members going gluten free (getting a diagnosis is fantastic!) and being able to enjoy a gluten-free Thanksgiving together!

debbie szal says
I make homemade cinnamon rolls every year using my bread maker to do the work thru the rising.this year I need to make gluten free do I use just the gluten free flour and leave the rest the same
Shirley says
Hi Debbie–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I’ve never used a breadmaker so unfortunately I can’t answer your question. Hopefully, someone else will be able to answer it, or an upcoming post I’ll be doing on gluten-free bread machine recipes will help.
Shirley
debbie szal says
does anyone have a good recipe for gluten free sweet bread or cinnamon rolls
Shirley says
Debbie–I’m not sure what you mean by sweet bread. Do you mean like Hawaiian sweet bread or quick breads like banana bread, pumpkin bread, etc.? There are many terrific cinnamon roll recipes and I plan to do a roundup of them soon, either here or on my desserts site.
Shirley
John says
Hello,
Wondering if you could help me as been searching for bread recipes that are Dairy/Yeast/Sugar free for Bread-maker machine due to my candida problem.
Hope you do have some recipes as been buying Spelt and Kurmat Bread from Health shop. As like to make my own bread at home.
Looking forward to hear from you.
John 🙂
Shirley says
Hi John–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I plan to do a post on gluten-free recipes for the bread machine as soon as I get enough to post. It’s been a frequent request. I’m sure that there will be some recipes that fit what you need when I share that. Sorry that there’s a wait on that. Please know that neither spelt (read my post on spelt here) nor kamut are gluten free and as such they’re not allowed on candida diet plans. I recommend taking a look at this list again, John. Some of these recipes are dairy-free, yeast-free, and sugar-free—and, of course, gluten free—per your needs, and they’re so easy and rise/bake much differently than typically breads. Therefore, a bread machine is not needed. Some examples are the grain-free paleo breads. Give those a try and see what you think. They are super easy and quite tasty! Promise!
Shirley
JL says
Shirley, I’m on a new yeast free, low sugar diet.. and thus gluten free, and I lean towards vegetarian/vegan. That all really puts restrictions on my diet. That being said, I have been craving bread! Thanks so much for a simple collection of recipes. Now I can spend more time getting my bread fix than researching it! Will let you know which recipe I start with.
Linda says
Thanks so much for the recipes! Now I can make some French bread and use it for stuffing in Novemeber. Wow stuffing after so many years! Can’t wait. Also just got a bread machine so now I can experiment. But hanks again
Shirley says
Hi Linda–I missed your comment earlier. 🙁 Welcome to gfe! 🙂 Stuffing made from French bread sounds wonderful! I hope you love it! Good luck with your experimenting with your bread machine, too.
Shirley
pam says
how can i get the bread recipes. thanks Pam
Shirley says
Hi Pam–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 The name of each recipe is also a link that you click on to be taken to the blog where these recipe is. For example, the first recipe is French Bread. Click on French Bread and you’ll be taken to The Gluten-Free Homemaker’s blog where the recipe is. Hope that makes sense!
Shirley
Brenda Ilgen says
I am wondering If there is a good gluten free sugar free bread machine recipe or can I use any of these. thanks for the help…
Shirley says
Hi Brenda–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I note whether the recipes are sugar free or not, but I don’t know if any of these can be made in a bread machine. Bread machine recipes are one of the most popular requests for sure and I plan to do a post in this series on them. In the mean time, I’d find the recipes here that are refined sugar free and follow the link to the original blog post and see if there are notes about making the recipe in a bread machine. Also, readers often leave comments saying how they have made a recipe so scan the comments on the post, too. And, last but not least, you could leave a comment for the blogger asking if the recipe can be made in a bread machine. The blogger and/or other readers might have an answer for you.
Please stay tuned to this series. 🙂
Shirley
Nicky says
Hi there! I wanted to know if you can help me find a bread recipe using tapioca flour and potato flour that is dairy free, nut free, egg free and rice free.(or any other foods for that matter)
I put my toddler on a special diet as per the advice of his doctor and am searching the web for some recipes i can make him without all these ingredients!!! If you can help me I would really appreciate that! Have a great day!
Shirley says
Hi Nicky–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I don’t know of any recipes offhand. That’s a pretty tall order as you know, but I can ask my readers on my Facebook page. Before I do that though, I need to know more information. A lot of ingredients could be included in your “any other foods for that matter.” 😉 Do the forbidden items include all grains? How about bean-based flours? Are egg substitutes like flax gel eggs (flaxseed meal and water) and chia gel eggs (chia seed meal and water) allowed? Please tell me more details and I’ll ask others for any input. Last note, and I say this with utmost respect, if workable solutions are not available, please know that gluten-free life without bread is fine, too. Many of us who are gf rarely eat bread and some don’t at all. It makes life easier in some ways and there are tons more foods that we can eat.
Hope to hear back from you soon!
Shirley
Janet says
I just bought a bread maker. What adjustments, if any, do i need to make to these recipes to make them in the bread maker? What awesome possibilities! Thanks.
Janet
Shirley says
Hi Janet–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I’m actually working on a new part to this series that shares recipes that use a bread maker and how to use a bread maker for recipes that don’t call for one. It’s not ready for publication yet but here are a few post you might find helpful in the mean time:
What is Best Gluten-Free Bread Machine (more than about choosing a machine; Linda explains mechanics of making gf bread and applies them to bread machines)
Gluten-Free Bread Machine Tips
Good luck and stay tuned for the upcoming parts of this ongoing series! 🙂

Pat H says
I HATE your page on gluten free breads. They left me not only soaking with drool from the gorgeous pictures, but I had a sore finger from scrolling up and down endlessly deciding which one to make first!! (just kidding about the HATE part). Great list for the holidays with baking being my passion, but gluten being an issue for some family members. Thanks.
Shirley says
Hi Pat–Welcome to gfe. I admit you had me going with your “mean” beginning there. 😉 Glad you’re having a hard time deciding! Hehe! It’s wonderful that you are looking out for your gluten-free family members this holiday season. They will appreciate that so much. I’m sure you’re already well versed in feeding them safely gluten free. Again, that is such a gift to us gluten-free folks. 🙂
Shirley
Neil says
My wife and I just started this gluten-free life style…It’s not easy! Breads are my first hurdle. This looks like a fun and challenging place to start. Our goal is low carb, and gluten-free. It looks like our pantry is changing over and we love it. I’m headed out tomorrow to buy my first coconut,and almond flour…Raw honey too. We are reading “Grain Brain” by David Perlmutter,MD. What an eye opener. Thanks, and Merry Christmas
Shirley says
Hi Neil–Welcome to gfe and congrats on going gluten free! Love your enthusiasm! 🙂 Living gf seems really tough at first, but gets easier fairly quickly, especially when one focuses on whole, real foods with few gf specialty items. Low carb and gluten free requirements are best met by grain-free, paleo/primal recipes. While the bread tastes different than gluten-full bread, you’re likely to start enjoying it shortly. I found giving up bread for a while made the transition easier. I honestly don’t miss bread, but do enjoy some now and then with paleo bread recipes (several here) being my favorites. Dr. Pearlmutter is educating many … well at least those willing to listen. One only has to be gluten free for a while and then accidentally get glutened to get what he means by “Grain Brain.” It’s often hard to understand that concept while still consuming gluten.
Merry Christmas to you all, too!
Shirley
Jen says
Wow, what a gift this post is. We are so thankful you put this together! Also eating gluten free in Northern VA!
Erica C says
I have a severe wheat allergy and yeast intolerance and basically haven’t eaten bread, or rolls in over two years. I’ve finally worked up to trying gluten free baking and I was so relieved to find your post that listed out the specifics of what wasn’t in them from one place! Every other gluten-free bread recipe I’d clicked on had a number of things I can’t have in it.
Thanks!
Shirley says
Hi Erica–First, welcome to gfe. 🙂 I’m really so happy that this roundup will be helpful to you! Be sure to check out Part 2 and Part 3 of the series, too. And the series will continue in the near future. 😉

Beth Blair says
Thanks for this awesome list!! Reposted the link to my Facebook page Gluten Free Review! Going to attempt to make either the vegan bread from Hope’s Kitchen or the soft white sandwich bread from Art of GF Baking today!!!
Cheryl Bowman says
I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes wanting a piece of bread and knowing how my stomach bloats and feels awful after eating things with wheat in it. Decided to check on Google to see if there was any gluten free bread recipes. so happy at what I found on this site. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes.
Sincerely – Cheryl Bowman
Brin says
I am new to gluten free and vegan cooking. I’ve always made bread by hand, but was given a bread making machine as a gift. I have no recipes yet, but can gluten free bread be made in a bread making machine? I’ve never used a machine before.
If anyone has any tips thank you in advance:)
Shirley says
Hi Brin–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I suggest that you read the third part of this series which has gluten-free bread machine recipes and tips.
Hope that helps!
Shirley
Sandi says
You’ve labeled quite a few of these recipes “yeast-free” but they have apple cider vinegar in the recipes. Vinegar is part of the yeast family and is to be avoided by those with yeasty allergies.
Shirley says
Hi Sandi–Thanks for the comment. My “yeast-free” label is specifically intended for readers who have told me they can’t consume yeast as an ingredient. Otherwise, I would have looked at ingredients suitable for the candida diet and labeled recipes without yeast, sugar, vinegar, etc. as candida compliant. Hope that clarifies my intention. This is not a site geared to the candida diet, but greatly respect that way of eating and there are many great resources for eating candida free, like my friend Ricki Heller’s site.
Shirley
Sandi says
Thanks … Sugar isn’t an issue for me. I’m allergic to bakers and.brewers yeast which are naturally found in vinegars. Its just very frustrating trying to find yeast free/gluten free recipes and products.
Shirley says
I see, Sandi. My Paleo Bread recipe, which is included in this listing, should be safe for you as it contains none of those ingredients. And, just FYI, when ACV is called for in bread recipes, it’s providing the acidic ingredient to react with the leavening agent (usually baking soda). However, many times another acidic ingredient like lemon juice can be substituted successfully. I’ve seen comments from readers on Elana’s recipes where they’ve stated they’ve made just that substitution and it worked great. So you might have more options than you realize. 🙂 Best of luck!
Shirley
Sandi says
Thanks! I’m finding that lemon juice is working as a substitute for vinegars. Made my mayonnaise last night by.subbing the vinegar with lemon juice. 🙂 I’m getting the hang of this I think!
Lizet says
Looking forward to the series part that will focus on tortillas and flat bread!!!
Thanks!
Shirley says
Welcome, Lizet! 🙂 It might be one part on tortillas and another on flatbread. There are so many great recipes!

Enjoy, Desleigh!

What a terrific compilation of GF recipes. I just wonder which bread recipes you and others have tried. I have tried a few paleo recipes for bread and crackers and they tasted horrible. They were just terrible. The candida recipes tend to be better and GF recipes with yeast. However, I have yet to find a yeast-free, GF, DF recipe that actually worked and tasted edible. I would love to try some of the recipes you posted here, but if someone has a successful one already, it would save the rest of us some time (and money).

Hi Denise–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I vetted these recipes, only sharing recipes in this roundup post from bloggers I respect and recipes which had been tried and loved. Many of these recipes I’ve personally tried myself, including my own Paleo Bread recipe (Paleo Bread from Gluten Free Easily in the post), of course. For that recipe, it’s important to use finely ground almond flour, like Honeyville Brand (NOT Bob’s Red Mill, which is coarse almond meal; most paleo recipes will be awful when you use that), but everyone I’ve made it for has loved it. There is no paleo bread that will taste like gluten-full bread or gluten-free bread made from grains though. They’re their own thing so to speak, but gf folks and non-gf folks have loved that recipe and other paleo bread recipes included here. My top recommendation to you would be my paleo bread and if you don’t need grain free, you should try the Farmhouse Seed Bread recipe from Nourishing Meals/Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen in the post as it gets rave reviews in the comments on the post. If a recipe interests you, click on the link, go to the blog and read all the reader comments. Those are the equivalent of Amazon reader reviews. As such, if any are too extreme, you might throw them out, but after reading the reviews and checking out the ingredients and process, you’ll get a feel if the recipe is a good fit for you and worth your time and effort. Best of luck!

Mary Scholl says
I want to get my daughter a bread machine for Christmas. Her few tries at baking gluten-free were unsuccessful. Her husband cannot have gluten, dairy except eggs, nor soy. She just learned she is allergic to gluten. She wants so much to be able to bake something that actually tastes good! I’m going to suggest your web site to her. Can you suggest a good bread machine(s) for me? I’d really appreciate it.
Shirley says
Hi Mary–Welcome to gfe and thanks for referring your daughter here! Gluten-free bread baking can be challenging, especially at first, but there are many recipes that will work for your daughter and her husband. Btw, eggs are not considered dairy. Dairy products come from a cow. Eggs comes from a chicken. 😉 For bread machine recipes and recommendations on bread machines, check out
the second post in this series
. The bread machines and information on them are in the post and available via links there, but there’s also a really quick reference buying guide on the right sidebar of that post. You might have to scroll down a bit to see it. Hope that gives you all the info you need, Mary! I’m sure your daughter will love her Christmas present! 🙂

Emily Button says
Hi, I just wanted to say thanks so much for all these recipes!
My stepfather has Coeliac Disease (and a nut allergy) and a while back he had to go off his diet so his doctors could assess the degree of damage. He was pretty excited on the first day because there were so many things that he just thought he would never eat again and close to the top of that list was a steak sandwich. Sadly, by the time he had one he felt so ill that he did not really enjoy it. I am really hoping that I can find the perfect bread in here so I can make some for him the next time I go home (I am not a natural cook, so it may take me a few tries!) and he can finally have one and enjoy it again.
Thank you again! Emily.
Shirley says
Hi Emily–I’m sorry I missed replying to your comment when your left it! Welcome to gfe, albeit belatedly! 😉 I hope your stepfather is doing so much better by now. I also hope that you’ve found some recipes that you can make easily and that he enjoys as well. 🙂
Hugs,
Shirley
Zoe Langley says
Do you have a link to any vegan, yeast free, gluten free sandwhich guick bread recipes? Thanks. Also, the link did not work to sign up here (my computer is slow, so it may have timed out).
Shirley says
Hi Zoe–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 The recipes here and in the rest of the series are labeled as far as being vegan, etc. I’m not sure that any of those qualify as “quick bread” recipes. I’d suggest looking at the flatbread, foccacia, and other alternative bread recipes. Even bread made in the bread machine can turn out to be a “quick bread” if you set it and walk away. 😉 They might be just what you’re looking for!
I am not sure about the subscription issue. My site was down briefly a few times last night; that could have been it. I hope you’ll try again as I’d love to have you as a subscriber!

I have a gluten free bread mix from a box, that I want to try baking in my crock pot. I want to know if it is possible to use the ceramic bowl insert to bake it in, instead of using a bread pan without the ceramic bowl in it. It is a banana bread and the shape of it is not important to me.
Stephanie O'Dea says
Hi Rita,
I think I understand your question. The bread pan goes inside the entire slow cooker — the ceramic insert is put in the heating element like normal, and then the bread pan goes inside of that.
If you’d like to simply bake the bread in the ceramic insert without the pan, that’s just fine! I’d spray the ceramic bowl with a bit of cooking spray first to aid in cleanup.
I hope this helps a bit! steph
Shirley says
Hi Steph–Thanks so much for answering Rita’s question! I was a little unsure myself as I’ve not tried this method before. 😉

Shirley says
Hi Rita–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 I’m grateful to Stephanie for replying to your comment. She’s the expert on all things slow cooker/crockpots. 😉 Hope you’ll be able to bake a great loaf of bread in your crockpot now!

Angela says
I love your round ups Shirley, and this one is one of my very favorite ones – it introduced me to Megan’s bread (Megan from Allergy Free Alaska for those that don’t know) and it is fabulous! It truly does taste like “regular” bread and doesn’t have that nasty gritty soapy taste that so many gluten free breads have.
I was told my many family members and guests that it was the best bread they ever had – and most of them didn’t know it was gluten free!
Again, thanks for the roundups, they are such a wonderful way to find new recipes! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Shirley Braden says
Hi Angela–Thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know how much you appreciate roundups and Megan know how much you love her multigrain bread! Oh, how I love it when any gluten-free recipe passes the test by the gluten-full folks. IMHO, they all should pass that test—every last one of them! No kidding. Anyway, bloggers live and blog for this type of feedback so we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and reviews!
xoxo,
Shirley
Angela says
Now you did it! Do I blame you or Megan for this? Hmmm, you did the roundup so I found Megan’s recipe through you…..
I think her bread is now my “Shirley cake” of breads……. 😉

What a wonderful resource to try gluten free bread baking at home! I have to try some. Thanks for sharing!
Courtney says
Hi, Shirley. I love all these recipes and can’t wait to try the ones that are new to me! I’m commenting because you originally included a bread recipe called Gluten-free Vegan French Bread that was posted on Book of Yum. It’s the second from the bottom left in your photo collage. My kids and I loved that recipe but it’s no longer posted and I never printed it! Do you have a copy that you could share with me? Thanks and have a great day!
Shirley Braden says
Hi Courtney–You’re in luck! Through the magic of the Wayback Machine (an internet archive site), I was able to locate Book of Yum’s recipe. Here’s her Vegan French Bread recipe. I suggest printing it out right away in case the Wayback Machine decides to purge any pages at some point or even goes away. I just printed a PDF of the recipe so I’ll always have it. Yesterday happened to be National Homemade Bread Day so we can all catch up and celebrate by making this recipe soon. 🙂 Enjoy!
Shirley
Courtney says
OMIGOSH! That is the most amazing internet trick I’ve ever heard of! I’ll have to look into it. I have copied the recipe down and vow to never lose it again! Bless you!
Shirley Braden says
Courtney–Yeah, the Wayback Machine is pretty amazing! I’ve found so many favorite recipes after sites disappeared. It’s easiest to find something when you have the original link. You enter the link in the search bar and then click the dates that indicate that crawling showed that info. You’ll see what I mean when you take a look. Anyway, happy bread baking! So glad to help out! 🙂
