So I am not all that thrilled with #glutenfree bread that's available commercially. They are all frozen, except one that I found which was like a small brick of sawdust, and that makes them dry. Crumbly, stale tasting bread is what you get when it is frozen no matter how good the initial bread.
That said, for me to find some good bread for toast or sandwiches I broke down and got a bread maker. It has a setting for gluten free breads. That means there is only one rise. The machine, as a real baker, normally lets a standard dough rise once only to be punched down to let rise again. Gluten free doughs do not have the structure to rise again so can't go through this process. The program in the machine took away from any manual parts to the process.
The above loaf is from my own dough concoction. I had recipes but not all the ingredients. My local supermarket had almost all gluten free flours and stuff so I was able to get this done. It's not the really airy white bread, a tad on the cake-y side for that, but it is good with nice texture and crust. I will experiment some more with my new toy. Looks like I am eating a lot of bread in the near future. Apparently have to make up for the seven months of no bread.
