Going gluten free?

[annekat]

I don't know that there is a 'gluten free' setting on any kind of bread maker. It's in the recipe, not the machine. Although, have a friend who has to be gluten free and he had to buy a new bread maker because the old one had done used non gluten free recipes. Hope that saves you a buck or 2!

Jacquie (Booknut) said that her new Oster bread maker has a "gluten free" setting. My old one has an "express bake" setting that I wonder if could be similar. Her point was that the bread could only rise once and not be punched down, so one would have to remove it from the cycle and put it in the oven. If "express bake" is a faster process, maybe some steps are eliminated that would make it work for gluten-free. I've never used the darn thing, so I don't know. I have a manual but need to find it.
