Gluten Free Pantry White Bread Mix

Made some more bread this week!  This time I tried a different brand by the name “Gluten Free Pantry” for Sandwich bread mix.  To compare it to the Bob’s Red Mill Mix for the equivalent, I liked that I did not have to use cider vinegar (since I didn’t have any around).  Also it made a 2 lb. loaf compared to the 1 and a half lb. I made before.  I have not made the white bread mix by Bob’s Red Mill yet, however I do plan on it sometime soon.

The bread turned out wonderful.  I will admit that last time I made a mistake and did not mix the yeast into the mix after everything had been mixed.  I misread the baking directions and thought they meant to leave it ontop on the mix, and that the bread maker would do the rest.  This time I mixed it in and it turned out great.  It raised just like it should, making for a bigger loaf of bread that is nice and soft.  The Gluten Free Pantry Bread is delicious!

Delicious Bread

Needed Materials:

• Entire bag of Gluten Free Pantry “Favorite Sandwich Bread” mix
• 1 and 3/4 cup lukewarm water or milk  (I used water)
• 4 Tbs.  melted butter or vegetable oil  (I used butter)
• 2 large eggs, or 1 egg and 2 egg whites lightly beaten (I used 3 large eggs)
• Bread Maker for up to 2 lbs.

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cupcakes

Betty Crocker has finally come out with gluten free baking mixes!  Yes of course they are deserts but they can’t hurt every now and then

Even though the box is for Gluten Free Cake Mix, on the back it has a suggestion for making gluten free cupcakes.  Since I do not own a cake pan and I do not know how a cake would turn out if I made one, I opted for making the cupcakes.  At first I wasn’t sure how they would turn out, but they turned out great.   I cooked them in the oven for about 20 minutes or so (box suggests 18-23 minutes) and the mix made 12 pretty big cupcakes.  It tasted just as good if not better than what I remember cupcakes or cake tasting.  They definitely got this mix right.

For Icing it was a little tricky finding one in the grocery store that was gluten free and that was not “Manufactured in a plant that processes wheat” (those I never trust).  But then I found that Betty Crocker icing is also gluten free.

Also Betty Crocker makes gluten free chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and devils food cake.
