There are a lot of gluten-free bread mixes on the market from a number of different companies, but Bob's Red Mill is one brand that I see most often, as they carry it prominently at Whole Foods. Reading the packaging on some of their yeast mixes, I noticed that they gave instructions for making the dough in a bread machine and I couldn't help but wonder if the dough would develop properly under such conditions, as even though the yeast will thrive in the bread machine environment, the ingredients are quite unlike the typical flours used in bread. Odds are, they probably work out reasonably well or the company would not continue to instruct people to use the machines. If you want to make GF bread on a regular basis, however, you might want to consider switching to a machine that has an actual gluten-free cycle programmed in to it. The Breadman TR875 is the first one that I've heard of that is equipped with such a feature. The stainless steel machine can handle up to 2-pound loaves and also offers pasta, jam, and pizza-dough cycles.

Red Mill is frequently advertised bread machine. That's why you can see it often. I don't like bread machines, they are too noisy and need free space. Better bread knife and free hands. And you can do everything you want! Any shapes

The bread machine that's recommended most on most of the Celiac Disease / Gluten-free bulletin boards and list-servs is the Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme

This post reminds me that I need to buy this for myself as an early Chanukah present. I'm tired of store-bought gluten-free bread - There are some good brands, but I think I'd save money and create a better product using a machine.

I just bought the Breadman II machine. However, the pie dough is not my favorite, do you have another plain dough I can use in the machine?
