How does a bread maker help in a gluten-free diet?
With the limitations on the types of flours that can be used in the breads you eat, bread making becomes an almost essential part of a gluten-free lifestyle. Premade gluten-free breads are difficult to find and usually limited in the kinds of bread you can get even when you do find them in health food and specialty markets. Having a bread maker and baking at home allows you to expand the selection of breads and baked goods you can have, to keep your diet from getting bland and boring. In addition, gluten-free dough for other baked goods like pasta, pizza crust and even cake can be prepared in your bread maker and then baked in your oven. Everything from breakfast buns to birthday cake becomes accessible – a particularly good point for families with children that need a gluten-free diet.
