Besides making\u00a0corned beef and potatoes, another one of our family traditions is to make Irish Soda Bread. \u00a0We’ve made it \u00a0for years…for ourselves and for our neighbor who’s Irish. \u00a0But for the first time, last year, we didn’t make Irish Soda Bread because I was diagnosed 7 months previously with Celiac’s Disease. \u00a0Celiac is an auto-immune disorder where cells attack each other when gluten (flour, wheat, rye, or barley) is consumed.<\/p>\n

A Gluten Free Breadmaker?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even eating food that has touched flour is dangerous for me. \u00a0So I don’t like to bring flour into our house. \u00a0I recently discovered that some of today’s breadmakers include a gluten free cycle. \u00a0A normal breadmaker allows\u00a0gluten dough to rise and then it punches it down. \u00a0It goes through this process 2-3 times. \u00a0This is detrimental to gluten free breads. \u00a0Gluten free bread only needs one rise and punch down cycle. \u00a0Breadmakers with gluten free cycles ensure your bread is not over-processed.<\/p>\n

I did a simple search on Walmart.com<\/a> and was surprised…and delighted to find that not only does Walmart carry a couple of breadmakers with a gluten free cycle, but they also a West Bend breadmaker\u00a0at a very reasonable price at $79.88. \u00a0For a West Bend brand, that’s a great deal!<\/p>\n

In fact, this West Bend gluten free breadmaker has a whole slew of features, it’s very impressive…<\/p>\n
