Reddit mentions: The best bread mixes

This is going to be fun. Across my multiple wishlists...

1.) Something that is grey.
Grey bedsheets.

2.) Something reminiscent of rain.
Pet water fountain.

3.) Something food related that is unusual.
Astronaut Ice Cream

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!)
This Bruins banner is for my BFF Becky. She loves the Bruins more than anything. Hockey is her obsession. I put it on my list to remind myself to get it for her at some point. It would make her happy.

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!
The Name of the Wind. Of everything I've read in the past 6 months, this one I devoured and have been desperate for the second book in (it's on my list to pick up this week, actually, if my paycheck EVER comes in).

Look, I hate... HATE... first person perspective. I see it as a sign of sloppy writing. However, this book had me SOLD on it. Kvothe is possibly one of my new favorite characters OF ALL TIME.

Avid reader doesn't even begin to describe me. I have my own library. I need books like air. And if I had to make a list of 100 books that were all I was allowed to have for the rest of my life, THIS WOULD BE ON IT.

6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!
This kindle book

7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)
The most interesting cat toy in the world

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it.
This choker. Enough said.

9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?
The Breakfast Club Why? Because. It's a good movie. Whether you were the jock, the brain, the spoiled brat, the loser, or the troublemaker-- there's a character you can identify with, and it shows that whatever and whoever you are, you can get along with someone who isn't in your clique.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.
A Seed Vault

Everyone worries about fighting zombies.

Dumb. You see, when the zombies come, I'm holing up. A few weeks and if they are undead, they'll have rotted themselves to death. If they are fast moving, viral sumbitches, then they'll have likely ended up offing themselves through dehydration or whatever.

In any event, I'll wait them out. But then, I will need to rebuilt and eat.

(Besides, I have my trusty zombie-killing baseball bat, and a bow. Quiet. Efficient.)

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals.
This book on Aztec and Inca expansionism. I'm back in school, and my focus is Mesoamerican Studies. Eventual degrees, here I come!

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.
Zucchini seeds.

13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?
A KitchenAid Mixer Why? I like to cook and bake. My mother has one that I used for years when I was a kid and still living with her. I'm 30 now. I remember she got it when I was like, 5. IT STILL WORKS. Over a dozen moves, being abused for holidays making bread and cookies and cakes, being used by my Dad (I swear, he looks at appliances and they break) and it STILL FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY.

I cannot think of a kitchen appliance that would be more useful.

14.) Something bigger than a bread box. EDIT A bread box is typically similar in size to a microwave.

This loft bed

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.
How about 7 somethings? A set of dice.

16.) Something that smells wonderful.
Italian Herb Bread Mix It smells good when you open the box. When it's mixed. While it's rising. While it bakes. After it bakes. As you've slathered butter on it and begin to nom.

17.) A (SFW) toy.
Hawkeye is so SFW I would bring him in to put on my desk.

18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.
This book, of course.

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.
Funko Tyrion Lannister because even a small man can cast a great shadow.

20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand.
This.

No one will understand the magnificence of this plushie.

It is a rotund, cuddly, snuggly Cthulhu.

But Cthulhu does not cuddle. He does not care. When the stars are right, he will rise from the deeps and from his seat Ry'leh, devour his cultists-- and everyone else-- by the millions, and bring forth an end to all things.

But how can you deny his Elder God wrath? HOW?! Look at him, all squishy and warm and soft. Look at his little T-Rex arms, reaching out for your love and devotion. His eyes, his wiggly little face tentacles. YOU MUST SNUGGLE HIM.

What do we say to death? NOT TODAY.

I started keto just over 5 weeks ago, but I'm planning a keto Thanksgiving with my best friend (who is also doing keto with her fiance!) Here's what I was thinking:

• Turkey with gravy (thickened with xantham gum)
  
• Cornbread stuffing (using this mix I got off amazon)
  
• Roasted brussels sprouts tossed with bacon/mustard/'maple syrup'
  
• Cauliflower mash
  
• Spaghetti squash gratin
  
• Creamed spinach OR something like the balsamic greens in OP's post
  
• Cranberry sauce - either with swerve or the diet sunkist trick!
  
• Pumpkin Cheesecake for dessert
  
  The two things I'll be missing that I haven't figured out how to keto-fy are green bean casserole (just can't do it without those crispy onions) and sweet potato casserole. I could make my own keto marshmallows for the sweet potatoes, but I haven't figured out the best sub for the sweet potatoes themselves. Anyone know which orangey winter squash is the least carb heavy? My research tells me that hubbard squash is the answer, but anyone know anything better than me?

Amazon has some AMAZING food for people who cannot eat gluten.

The good thing about the muffins is you can make ANY kind by simply following the modifications with fresh ingredients on the back. I made those for meal prep for my family and they loved them!

Oh well I cant get links to work, maybe some day. Enjoy!

Wow, you sure got your panties in a bunch over nothing!

>Have i ever bought a loaf of bread?

Sure I have. Sometimes I buy the cheap stuff just to make a sandwich, and I've purchased artisan breads before, too.

Here's the thing though, bub. I don't buy that bread and come to a subreddit about baking bread trying to show it off. Can you see how that makes a difference?

There are no bread in a box products for bread machines? The depth of your knowledge on this topic you profess so passionately about is showing. How about Here, Here, Or Here. That's right, it's actually very common for bread machines. See how this wouldn't count as something to show off to a bread subreddit? "I purchased a box, dumped it in, and literally pressed a button!" Is better suited for showing off the capabilities of a breadmaker than the skill involved in making bread.

I don't know/care what you heard in some interview somewhere... I've heard just about everything from both sides of a given issue somewhere. Can google an interview on either side in a half second to make my point, but I've no reason to. If the fear of failing to make something in the privacy of your own home is enough to turn you off from cooking/baking for life, then /r/psychology or /r/anxiety is probably a better place for you to make a first post. Baking bread is an art, one that's ancient and respected. Having a machine that can do it in one pass is great engineering, but isn't in the spirit of what this sub is about. The fact that it brings you a sense of accomplishment I find pretty amusing however. Does pouring milk on your cereal give you the same pride and satisfaction of a job well done?

Your comment was funny (if tiring) to read, so thanks for that. Go bake a real loaf of bread, and come back when you know what you're talking about.

Honestly, I buy a loaf of Udi's bread for $4something ($3something with the coupon from their website) at Publix/wherever once a week, and that's enough for me. I find enough variety and don't find I need substitutes.

I get buy on Kinnickinnick Bread and Bun Mix which I buy in bulk on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Kinnikinnick-Foods-Gluten-Free-Kinni-Kwik-35-5-Ounce/dp/B000LKTVXQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top). I split it with my brother ever few months. I can make bread, little buns, hot dog buns (buy mini tins from the store and bend them!), whatever I want. You can also mix the mix and water with baking soda (a bit of experimenting) and add some powdered sugar and make pancakes! Regular folks corn bread is often GF. I also get Namaste Pizza Crust (http://www.amazon.com/Namaste-Foods-Gluten-Pizza-16-Ounce/dp/B000LKZA1I) for special occasions. Pasta is super cheap and delish -Tinkyada is $2.99 a bag at Walmart...I prefer Publix for ethics reasons, which is $3.95, but still. Not bad!


I don't know. I'm a college student (grad student now --even worse!) and I make it work. You just have to be crafty.

But I totally understand. My boyfriend goes grocery shopping and buys $0.99 Pasta Sides and Kraft Meals and soups and yummy mcyumyum foods that are super cheap and look great, and I get to by quinoa and $4 bread...but it can be done on a budget! I just smile because my food is less processed and lower in sodium and preservatives!

For sure! A product called Chebe has been a lifesaver. It is mostly tapioca ("manioc") flour, I think it has some cream of tartar or something else too.

I use the general mix according to the directions on the box, but I do my own thing once the dough is mixed up.

One batch of dough on one cookie sheet will make a thinner crispier pizza that still won't snap if you fold it, thin but not like a cracker.

One batch on a 14" round pizza pan will give you a more chewy and slightly thicker crust.

Follow the directions on the box, but use a tiny bit less water than they say. Only add it if the dough refuses to pick up residual flour in your mixing bowl. It should be sticky but not "wet" when it goes in the pan.

Once the dough is mixed, oil your pan and press the dough in. It's forgiving, so you can manhandle it and smack it around until it's uniform in thickness with a slight dip at the middle. Just make sure there is dough everywhere and no bare spots and you'll be fine.

Bake the crust at 350 with nothing on it for 7 minutes. Pull it out, and slide the whole thing off the pan back into the oven directly on the rack for 8 more minutes. Then pull it out, set the oven to 450, top the pizza, and pop it in whenever. I never time the next part, watch it after 10 minutes for the right level of cheese-browning that you like. I let mine get brown all over.

Its a great mix of textures, crispy and chewy. And it even reheats well!

So I’ve been using chebe cheese bread mix to make pizza. It gives you a much more consistent result.

https://i.imgur.com/X031Llf.jpg

I started using their pizza crust mix and it’s even better as it has some herbs in there to give it an extra Italian flavor.

Pro tips:

• when using either chebe mix don’t overdo the cheese. Sharp cheddar is best.
  
• mix all the ingredients (except for the chebe mix) in a bowl first. Measure exactly. Only use a handful of cheese. Definitely use cheese even though the pizza crust mix says its optional.
  
• add half the mix into the ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork.
  
• add the rest and get your hands in there and fold it all carefully until most of the mix is incorporated.
  
• fold it and squish it against the bowl to pick up as much of the mix as you can as it’s a very fine powder and gets kinda stuck.
  
• take the lump of dough and kneed it thoroughly. Get it to a nice even consistency.
  
• take a circular pizza pan and grease it completely with a stick of butter.
  
• take your dough ball and flatten it in the middle and slowly work it out towards the edges and try to get it to a nice even flatness
  
• par bake at 425 for 7 minutes
  
• remove, flatten, and add sauce, not too much as it will make the pizza soggy
  
• add toppings
  
• bake for 9 minutes
  
• enjoy

Bobs Red Mill is really yummy bread! I have celiacs disease so I am totally gluten free. Also the Vanilla cake mix is pretty tasty! I also have the cornbread on my wishlist =] If I was to win

Looks like Amazon has it: Good Dee’s Corn Bread Baking Mix - Grain Free, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, and Low Carb,7.5 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK7RVG1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Tji6Bb3KV5YXS

Honestly, I live in the south and can get pretty good cornbread mix at the store, so I usually just make Martha White cornbread because it’s straightforward (I’m not much of a baker). It looks like you can buy it on amazon too.

https://www.amazon.com/Martha-Country-Buttermilk-Cornbread-6-Ounce/dp/B003VSQ9YO

Edit: it’s way cheaper from other sources, I just saw those amazon prices and they’re way too high.

Chebe has fantastic box mixes, imo. I love their focaccia mix, and I grabbed a cinnamon roll box recently. I'm waiting til I have the energy to make it lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ACPPXE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VZH3CbGVEAP3G

We had 100 lbs overnighted from this company still alive and everything.

edit: thanks for the gold! Don't forget: throw in some brats, halved cloves of garlic, onions, potatoes, corn, and mushrooms. Also, a few pans of my personal favorite cornbread won't hurt anybody either.

Chebe makes a mix that's pretty good and very easy. http://www.amazon.com/Chebe-Bread-Original-Cheese-7-5-Ounce/dp/B001ACMCNU I have even found it in a local grocery store.

Can you afford a bread machine? If so, buy a Zojirushi and then use this box of flour (GF Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread).

If you get motivated, you can experiment with other bread recipes but I never had really consistent luck.

Hi,

1. Glass of Water = 200ml.
   
2. My Gluten Free Flour : Schar Gluten Free https://www.amazon.com/Schar-Naturally-Gluten-Free-Classic-19-Ounce/dp/B001FA1LF2

We use a challah mold with Glutino's My Favorite Sandwich Bread. It comes out very nicely.

I got it from Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BU8SM60/ref=cm_sw_r_apap_bj8peDksBFrfU

It tastes really good but it's a bit on the chewy side. I recommend toasting.

This bread mix is AIP by itself. The cooking instructions call for eggs and cheese for the original bread recipe. You could omit the cheese and substitute gelatin eggs. It might be a good mix to start sourdough experimenting. I can usually find individual boxes at my local grocery store near the alternative flours section in the baking isle. I’m in the US.

https://www.amazon.com/Chebe-Bread-All-Purpose-Gluten-7-5-Ounce/dp/B001ACNWY8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=51533787970&gclid=CjwKCAjw5_DsBRBPEiwAIEDRWxijy1d_arinK2NpmLT_1EWvDxWL2MrAgbYriE13QjTyV1Vwt6mNIRoCKVMQAvD_BwE&hvadid=274681024257&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9029024&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=e&hvrand=17709104770499681797&hvtargid=aud-646675773986%3Akwd-521910791712&hydadcr=16526_9865939&keywords=chebe+bread&qid=1570518698&sr=8-3

Definitely going to check it out.

Though as an alternative I tried this as a free sample from my local nutrition store place, and I found this really tasty. They didn't have it to buy for yourself at that time, but I might order it from amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sukrin-Sunflower-Pumpkin-Free-From-Calorie/dp/B00HSW1MIM

One more thing occurred to me. If you guys are ovo-lacto vegetarians, I bet she would love some pão de queijo (a very cheesy bread). You can buy a mix from amazon, which might not be ideal but will do in a pinch: http://www.amazon.com/Cheese-Bread-250g-GLUTEN-FREE/dp/B00563VAD2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332965165&sr=8-4

Oh god, what's wrong with me? I've liked all the tacky things in this thread so far. I think it will be hard to top this one though: redneck beer bread

Looks like it might be this.

When you get to your goal weight, you can eat stupid once a week and be just fine. You'll feel much better when you're at that point. It sucks for a solid month or two. After that, you're good. They even make low carb tortillas and low carb bread nowadays. But don't be eating this bullshit until you're past the induction phase. Stick with the meat, vegetables (no starches) and water. If you want alcohol, drink Vodka or Red Wine, but know that when you drink alcohol, your body will burn that first before burning fat, so try to stay away from alcohol when you can.

I have fooled many people with this crust. It is just as good as any regular pizza crust in my opinion:

https://www.amazon.com/Chebe-Bread-Pizza-Gluten-7-5-Ounce/dp/B001ACMCNA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480608720&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=chebe+pizza+crust+mix&psc=1

They sell the cheesy bread dough in a box. You just add water and eggs, roll into balls, and pop 'em in the oven for 25 mins.
