Recommendations for bread

As someone with Coeliac I make my own bread. I have used both the gluten free flour and I have mixed my own GF flour as well. I recommend the latter.
Our home made bread tastes much better, certainly better than the supermarket bread ( although some artisan GF breads do taste good) and a lot cheaper in the long run. We do have a gluten free bread book specifically for bread machines, as the ingredient ratios do change. You can't just swop out regular flour for GF flour in a bread recipe.
If I am buying bread I never take the chance buying regular sourdough bread that isn't certified GF. You sometimes read that sourdough is naturally gluten free , no it isn't, even if the gluten is vastly reduced it still has gluten.
 
I’m curious — what mix of flours do you use? I’ve been thinking about making my own blends too, but for now I’m still sticking with store-bought ones.

@LindaWO For the gluten free bread? It's very high in carbs
Sweet rice flour
millet flour
sorghum flour or brown rice flour will do
tapioca flour
potato starch ( not potato flour)
If you want a recipe I can post one.

Keto friendly flours are also available if you are looking for low carb flours.

I buy warburtons tiger bread which is expensive but it lasts me over a week and start toasting it towards the end of its life.
I've tried allsorts over the years and the warbies one comes out best.

Good luck

Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown! Your flour mix sounds really promising, and I’d love to give it a try. It’d be awesome if you could share the bread machine recipe too — I’ve never made gluten-free bread from scratch myself, and this seems like the perfect way to start.
