Russell Hobbs 18036 Breadmaker
I was bought a breadmaker when I was first diagnosed with Coeliac disease, but sadly it didn't have a setting which worked well for gluten free bread. It came out looking and smelling lovely, but was like wallpaper paste when sliced!
So, many years later, I have decided to try another breadmaker, with the thinking "if it doesn't work, Mr H can have it for his "normal" bread!".
I purchased a Russell Hobbs machine after reading reviews on-line about other people's gluten free attempts.
There is a specific gluten free setting and they recommend using Juvela mix. They suggested the white mix, but I first tried the fibre mix and was very pleased with the results.
Through the window in the lid, I could see that, as is the case with gluten free bread, it was mixed as a batter rather than a dough.
After a few hours, I had a lovely smelling loaf.
Even the next day, I didn't need to "refresh" the bread. It was very soft and bouncy - like "normal" bread.
Personally, I may add another quarter teaspoon of salt to the recipe, but for my first attempt, I was pleased.
I purchased my breadmaker from Amazon. It was £47.99 which included free delivery, which took about 4 working days. I know Argos sell the same machine for £54.99 (prices in February 2013).
