As I pulled what must be my 1000th failure of a gluten-free / yeast-free loaf out of the oven, I thought to myself (rather nastily, sorry to say), there is a REASON why the rabbis said that wheat & other glutenous grains FERMENT, and grains like rice and millet ROT. It is freaking impossible to make a decent gluten-free yeast-free bread.

Duh. Am I the stupidest creature that ever walked the earth or what? OATS. Oats are gluten-free. Oats ferment.
To the lab!!

I ran into this same problem for quite a while. I ended up buying a bread maker. This seemed to fix all of my problems and is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made! Good luck!

I know people who swear by their bread machines. Which one do you use? And it has a setting for YEAST-FREE bread?!? Would you be willing to share your recipe with the folks back at home??
Me, I’m a big fan of Alton Brown, and temperamentally suited to his admonition to never allow “uni-taskers” in the kitchen. Except, he says, for a fire extinguisher.
But if it would help us to figure out yeast-free bread, I’ll make room for one!
