Bread

What is the best bread machine for making gluten free bread?

I have to start a wheat free/gluten free diet. I wanted to purchase a bread machine for making homemade gluten free bread. But I know that gluten free bread is different and wanted to know what bread machines would be the best for making gluten free bread. Thanks in advance for your help!

1. You can't make bread without wheat or glutton. It would be called something else and I would hate to have to be the one that is forced to eat it! It is kinda like calling "Soy Juice" "Soy Milk" there is no tit on a soy plant!
2. OK that last guy is a doofus. My mum has just bought a bread maker for making gluten free bread. It is a sunbeam brand especially designed for making gluten free bread. The motor and beaters are stronger for handling the heavier mixture. It also doesn't start to pre-rise like a normal bread maker. A specialist electric store should sell them, and you need to ask. This is in Australia, hopefully you have the same brands wherever you are. hope this helps.
3. Ahhh The Dude has to be corrected. Oye. Idiot. Obviously gluten free bread as you know is free of wheat, rye, oats and barley but is still BREAD! :) Here's my suggestion: (I"m a lazy baker so I dont bake my own GF bread, so I"m passing on info I've gotten from other Celiacs.) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/SillyYaks/ That is a great yahoo health group and they had a sort of academy awards for GF products. I looked but couldnt find the file, but they voted on best bread machine. Join the group, post a question (ask for Joy, she ran the awards) and ask their thoughts on bread machines. I have heard good things from Celiacs about the Cuisnart one and the Sunbeam! I personally buy all m y bread premade! Im a preg mother of a 2 yr old, no time to bake from scratch! :)
