Recipes I use in the bread machine.

Everyone is asking what my recipes are for the bread I use in my bread machine, so here they are!

These are obviously sugar, seed oil and soy free. I make my own bread to avoid these ingredients in commercially available loaves.

I use Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil in my bread machine, mostly because we love the taste of it and it's super easy to measure out. The bread machine highest temp is 110 deg celsius so it will not damage the structure of the oil (which normally happens at around 160 deg).

Just so we are clear, I have a Sunbeam Quantum Smartbake bread machine

1kg Traditional White Loaf (Wheat bread)
415ml water
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/4 cups plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Chuck it in the bread machine and let it rock on. Select basic bread option


Bread with gluten (for my family) straight out of the bread machine

1kg Low Sugar Wholemeal Raisin bread (Wheat bread) 
420ml water
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/3 cup wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 heaped dessert spoon Rice Malt Syrup (Available from Coles Health food aisle or Health food stores)
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
Put handful sultanas in the fruit and nut dispenser. (Sultanas are high in fructose but a handful only equates to around 2 or 3 sultanas per slice)

Chuck it in the bread machine and let it rock on. Select Wheat bread option


The Bestest-Ever-Totally-Amazeballs Gluten Free Bread
My recipe is a combination of many different recipes I have encountered over the years. I have tweaked this to suit me and the machine I use. This is a 1kg loaf size and I select the Dark crust colour.

400mls warm water
3 eggs
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup white rice flour (I use basmati rice and mill it in the Thermomix)
1 cup buckwheat flour (I use buckwheat grains and mill it in the Thermomix)
2 cups long grain brown rice flour (I use long grain brown rice and mill it)
1 cup Arrowroot
3 tablespoons of grain or seeds (sunflower, sesame, chia seeds, poppy seeds, chia, polenta etc)
1 tablespoon Xantham gum
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons yeast

Chuck it in the bread machine. Select Gluten free option. I adjust my machine so that it only does one rise cycle for around 45 minutes.

The mixture will be similar to a thick cake mixture. It is not a dough.

There is a good chance you may need to play around with the settings on your machine to get the perfect loaf.

If you don't have a bread machine, just let it rise and pop it in the oven.

Enjoy!

  5. Thank you so much for this bread maker recipe. I have tried so many and this is the first one that worked AND tasted great. I only put anon because i have no idea about the other options - sorry not really that tech savvy. Kate

  7. Hi Taryn,

    Thanks a million for your recipes, we've been making the wheat bread with 3 cups white flour and 1 cup wholemeal. It makes what the Belgians call 'grey' bread (it's actually a lovely light gold colour). It's sooooo delicious when warm and slathered in butter! I eat it with UK marmite (no sugar in the UK one).

    Good work on the sugar-free resources!

    I tried to buy Sweet Poison the other day but the cost of shipping to the UK is criminal, so you're my link to the Australian sugar-free movement!

    Thanks a bunch!

    1. Hi Vicky, that sounds good I will have to give it a try! Although the Sweet Poison book is great, there is a lot of info out there about quitting sugar. Check out Sarah Wilson's blog and the sweet poison Facebook and web page for lots of helpful hints and support. xxx

  8. I just came across your blog today as I've recently read Sweet Poison, have a TMX and am gluten intolerant - so with those search criteria up popped this site! From what I've read think it's great, and have just taken my first sugar and gluten free loaf out of the oven - I don't own a bread machine unfortunately :(. Smells and looks terrific, cn't wait to try it in a while when it's cooled slightly - looking forward to it!

    1. Ok, just tasted it - flavour is absolutely delicious! Nicest GF bread I've ever had in 7 years of being GF. I think I should have given it more than 30mins rising time as ever so slightly doughy, but will try again in a few days. Very happy :)

  9. Have you made the gluten free bread as a low sugar fruit bread variation? Just wondering how it would taste/last/hold together?

  10. Hi Taryn! LOVE your blog - can relate to it so well and really informative. A few queries.. Have just bought a Sunbeam Quantum Smartbake and was wondering if you use any of the available breadmixes on the shelves, i.e. Defiance etc..? Are these a no-no when choosing no sugar/soy/seed oils? Looked at ingredient lists and a little confused. Do you use safe sugar substitutes in your bread making or completely omit it? I am also a chaos wrangler of 3 young children and am wanting to make the best food choices, but do you struggle to keep up with the bread making demands? How many loaves do you have to make a week? Last one (promise!) How do you store your bread when it is made? Have been looking at getting some bread bags off amazon.

    Thankyou so much for your time and look forward to hearing from you.
    Sally.

    1. Hi Sally. No I do not use any bread premixes. I have glanced quickly at a few of them and I wasn't too keen on the ingredients they use. Also they are quite expensive. I don't use any sugar in my bread and it works great! I use the normal white bread ingredients without adding the sugar or the milk powder and keeping the quantities the same. I also use generic brand flour. Works fine.

      I bake lots of bread and freeze it (slicing it before you freeze). I always keep an emergency loaf in the freezer and bake a fresh loaf maybe every 3 days or so. The bread is great for a day and then we use it for toast the following few days. You just need to find a rhythm that suits your family but having a few frozen loaves on hand helps me. We used to go through loads of bread but now it's only my son eating it so I don't make them very often. I make a lot of rolls and freeze them and the kids have them in their lunchboxes.
