"Great bread...even better pizza crust!" 2007-02-19
By B. Wilkinson (US AFB)
We've been using this bread mix for about a year, as it's the best gluten-free bread mix I've found. I usually make the sweet bread and it's very good, although it would make a great savory bread with herbs as well. I didn't even think to try to make pizza crust with it, as we were using a mix specifically for pizza crust from another popular gluten-free brand, which I didn't really like (too light and thick like a deep dish, but without flavor). I just tried Pamela's bread mix for pizza crust and it was amazing. Not too thick and a bit chewy just like "real" pizza crust. I did add the italian spices which are optional but suggested in the directions, and it was wonderful. The first decent pizza we've had since we've been gluten-free!
"It does make an AMAZING bread !!!" 2006-08-28

This past December my 7-year old son was diagnosed with allergic to wheat. This is a little guy that LOVES bread !!! He is also allergic to dairy. So, I searched and tried many kinds of wheat free bread mix/recipes and he might eat 2 bites and then stopped with sad face or he would cry. He said "it's yucky, grainy, tasted bad...". I often hid my tears, 'cause I knew I needed to be strong for him. Once I even ordered a bread from a bakery chef, $6.50/loaf, and my son took one bite and that's it!
Then in June I checked out Amazon, and found this product. The review said it's moist and not grainy, and I was so desperate, so I ordered a box of 6! That ended my search!!
When I put the 1st loaf on the dining table, my son could not stop eating it (and of course, I cried secretly in the kitchen!). I also ordered the cake mix, and chocolate chip cookies mix. I can't express how thankful I am to see my son's bright eyes as he enjoys his bread. By the way, I like it too. Thank you to the people that make Pamela's Products !!!!
"Yay Bread!" 2007-04-16
By Dave (USA)
I discovered that I was gluten-intolerant about a year ago and have been looking for good-tasting wheat-free products ever since. My primary roadblock has been bread - every single loaf of gluten-free bread I've tried has been beyond disgusting. I've been to health food store after health food store and haven't found a single loaf that I can eat without gagging. I thought it was hopeless until I read the reviews of Pamela's Amazing Wheat-Free Bread Mix. I decided to give it a shot, so I borrowed my sister-in-law's bread machine and fired up a loaf.
Simply put, I was amazed at the results. Does it taste like regular bread? No. Well, almost. Is it light-years beyond any other gluten-free breads? A hearty, resounding YES! If you've eaten other gluten-free (GF) breads before, let me give you a comparison: it holds up better than pre-made GF bread, but it still feels like it could fall apart easily. Putting a slice in the toaster helps with that. It's a little on the chewy side. It tastes like it doesn't have any salt in it, so adding some butter really helps. It kind of looks like banana bread, if I were to compare textures. Make sure to have some milk on-hand because it makes you pretty thirsty when you eat it!
I would say this is 90% - 95% as good as "real" bread. Thank goodness, my search for wheat-free bread is over! And Amazon sells it for nearly half the price as my local health food stores! If you're the only gluten-intolerant or Celiac in your family, I would recommend picking up a bread machine. It makes one loaf automatically. All I did was to follow the direction on the package and the loaf came out perfectly. It was as simple as dumping the ingredients in the machine, making sure the settings were right, and hitting the "On" button. So easy, even a caveman could do it! I put the bread machine to work at about 9pm at night and woke up the next morning to freshly-baked GLUTEN-FREE bread. EDIBLE bread. Awesome! I used a older Zojirushi machine, but some of the newer models like from Breadman actually have a Gluten-Free setting on them. There is hope for decent-tasting bread for us gluten-intolerant people! THANK YOU Pamela's Products!!
"An excellent GF bread mix" 2007-08-11

Gluten free bread mixes are often disappointing. They come out too dry, don't have a good flavor, fall apart when used for sandwiches. But Pamela's Bread Mix tastes good, has a good texture, and doesn't have to be toasted to be enjoyed. It makes great sandwiches, and the several variations offered on the bag make for a nice variety of breads. My husband especially favors the cinnamon bread for breakfast. As a sandwich bread he really enjoys the plain bread recipe with about 1/3 cup of added sesame seeds in the batter and extra sprinkled on top. Since we found this mix we have stopped experimenting with the various GF recipes we have collected. It does it all and is easy to make.

This makes unusually good bread that is bendable and chewy and a hint of sweetness probaby from the sorghum grain they use. It makes really good, "normal" pizza crust and flatbread too. My favorite GF mix. Also dairy free.
