A breakthrough bread book by the unchallenged expert in gluten-free and wheat-free cooking In Bette Hagman's three earlier cookbooks, she worked with gluten-free flours that are safe for celiacs (those who are intolerant to gluten) and for those with wheat allergies to create recipes for great- tasting food. Knowing from her own hard-earned experience that bread is the greatest loss for those who can't eat wheat, oats, rye, or barley, she has experimented with exciting new bean-based flours and has devoted an entire book to breads. Here are yeast breads, yeast-free breads, muffins, rolls, buns, breakfast breads, and crackers-a vast array of recipes for the oven or the bread machine-for people who cannot buy breads at a bakery or supermarket but must rely on their own kitchens to provide the staff of life. Along with dozens of great recipes are: a beginner's guide to understanding and cooking with gluten-free flours; answers to commonly asked questions about baking with these flours; and a source list of where to buy gluten-free baking supplies.

My Favorite Gluten-Free Cookbook:
Having lived gluten-free for over six years now, this has to be my most used and most adored cookbook. When I meet newly-diagnosed celiacs I recommend this book first. I prepare the mixes in bulk and use them often to create lovely breads of all types that are satisfying even to those in my family who do not have to eat gluten-free. I have tried over a dozen of the recipes in this book and all have produced wonderful results. My absolute favorite mix is the french-bread/pizza mix. I made two loaves of this... more info
Basic Four Flour Bread recipe worth the price of the book:
My mom was diagnosed with Celiac's a few years back. Not having a bread that she can use for sandwiches has been the thing she misses most -- all the store bought stuff falls apart if you use it for a sandwich. I like to bake, so I (recently) purchased this book to see I could make some breads for her that were better than the store bought stuff. So far I have only had time to make the Basic Four Flour Bread. This turned out so well that IMO this single recipe is worth the price of the book. I'm looking... more info
Gleuten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread:
This cookbook is an earlier addition. I wish I would have paid more attention to puslishing date! I realize now that there is a more updated cookbook by the same author.
