Thanks to all of you who replied to my question about how to program my new
Ultimate Breadman to bake Gluten Free Pantry (and other) bread.  I was
amazed and touched at the number of people who took time during the busy
holiday season to write me with their helpful suggestions.  Everyone was
very kind. About a dozen people replied, with various suggestions that I
plan to try. I e-mailed Salton, the manufacturer, at about the same time
and have yet to receive a reply!
* This first suggestion looked the most complicated, but I tried it and it
makes perfect bread!  The instructions include how to save the settings so
that once you go through the 26 steps, you never have to do it again. Thank
you Andrea Levario! Here it is:

Below are the settings we use, and the bread turns out great!

Other suggestions:
*change first time mixing to 10 minutes, second mixing 20 minutes, bake 60
minutes.
*Preheat 10; Knead1 20; Knead2 5; Rise1 70; Punch, Rise2, Shape and Rise3
0; Bake 60; Keep warm 60; No Extras; 350 degrees
*Bake 70 min for 2 lb, 60 minutes for smaller
*15 min preheat; 25 min mix; first rising 50 min; bypass all other kneading
and rising cycles; bake 65 minutes
*knead1 20 min; rise 3 70 min; bake 65 minutes; 2 lb loaf; dark crust;  all
other settings at zero
* use preprogrammed settinb choice 2 - two hours, fifty minutes.  Turn
baked loaf upside down overnight so the middle doesn't sink
* use preprogrammed rapid french bread cycle (I tried this and couldn't
make it work).
* bake the bread by hand - it's less work than programming the machine (a
good suggestion!)
