Default Gluten-free bread

Hi does any body have a recipe for 'acceptable' gluten-free bread? I have a recipe and it rises, and is soft and tastes good -as soon as I make a sandwich (even if the filling is just cheese or ham) - it all fall apart!! Any help or suggestions or recipes will be most appreciated. Thanks

Sadly enough, there really is not a great recipe for sandwich bread or
slicing bread....at least I've had know luck..I too am gluten intolerant as
well as lactose intolerant.....Its hard, but I just suffer the consequences.
I've tried most all of the different recipes and just don't enjoy them....good luck!!!!!!

Stephen - have you tried the gluten free pantry's favorite sandwich bread? It really is very good - They do not ship to uk though!

sometimes toasting the bread helps. have you tried food for life's brown rice tortillas? they are fairly acceptable as a wrap. i did find a recipe for a sourdough bread on the red star yeast site - it uses ricotta cheese in it, and i substituted some sorghum and millet flour for some of the flour mix and added a couple of tablespoons of ground flax seed, made it seem more like a whole grain bread. also for some reason using a bread machine with a gluten free cycle seems to yield better results.
not good for lactose intolerance though!

I use a breadmaker and the bread is very tasty and toasts well, open sandwiches are also fine but when I put a filling in - even if it is a dry filling - it just seems to fall apart - hey ho - if anybody can help - would be extremely grateful

I think in the latest Food & Wine or Sunset magazine there is a recipe for gluten free cinnamon banana bread. If I find it I'll post so you can have one more recipe to try.
