 too many eggs needed July 25, 2010
Suzanna Davis (Medfod,OR)
I was disappointed to find this bread needs 4 eggs - 1 whole and 3 egg whites. Yes, it is good, but why have all those allergens eliminated and then use 4 eggs? Most any bread can be made delicious with the addition of a bunch of eggs. It is good bread and if you don't mind using all those eggs give it a try. I am just moving toward vegan and eggs are moving out of my diet. I would not have bought them had I known.
 Pretty Good Bread July 19, 2010
Sam I Am (Northeast Illinois)
This is a pretty good gluten-free bread, but in my family's view, not as super delicious as Pamela's. I like this bread for a basic sandwich bread--it has a decent texture and no strong or off flavors. And rises to a nice size. However, I found it to be much dryer than Pamela's GF bread mix. I'm not sure what the solution to the dryness is--I'm going to try the strategies other reviewers recommended about putting olive oil on the top or adding applesauce to the mix. (Note, though, that even though I say this loaf is somewhat dry, that's in comparison to Pamela's; Namaste is far moister than the typical Bread For Life, Kinnikinnick premade breads. So it's a huge improvement over those and worth making just for that reason). Note that it is also much less sweet than Pamela's bread, which my children eat like candy when I cut it open warm. Thus, it may be better for people who have diabetic concerns (I'm just guessing, but Pamela's bread is VERY sweet). Note that I've tested both breads only by using a bread maker. The breads worked beautifully that way.
 Finally, a good GF bread mix June 29, 2010

As a lifelong baker of all sorts of breads and other family recipes using regular flour, when I unexpectedly developed an intolerance for gluten I thought it would be easy to find good recipes using substitute ingredients for the flour. I spent a lot of time and money trying GF bread recipes. I bought recipe books, used all kinds of flours, and was ultimately not satisfied with any of them. The breads were crumbly or not a pleasing texture in the mouth or, in the case of garbanzo bean flour, bubbly in the tummy. And forget the store bought GF breads -- what do they do to some of them that they last for months on the shelf (?!), and others that are kept in the store refrigerator seem dry and tasteless.
Then I stumbled upon the Namaste bread mix. I love it. Bread that tastes, smells and feels like a real bread!
I do make a few alterations to the package instructions. I add a teaspoon of sugar to the yeast/water mixture to boost the proofing. Sometimes I add caraway seeds and Italian herbs to the dough, or cinnamon+a teaspoon vanilla+1/8 C. sugar. And as soon as I take the bread hot out of the baking pan, I butter or olive oil the top and wrap the whole loaf in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture while it cools. Then I slice the cooled bread, put pieces of wax paper between the slices and freeze the loaf in a freezer bag. That makes it easy to pop one slice at a time in the microwave for 30 seconds (served warm, it's even more moist and tasty). One of these days I'm going to try making hamburger buns by baking the dough in small bowls.
This bread mix is easy and, compared to buying GF bread in the stores or the price of amassing the various ingredients to try to make your own from scratch, it's not all that expensive. I buy it in boxes of 6 from Amazon because it's the best price by far that I've found anywhere.
very good gfcf bread with good texture April 15, 2010
Nancy J. Cook (north san francisco)
This is a good tasting, gfcfsf bread, which is hard to find.
Makes a good size loaf in the breadmaker.

For an allergen free family, including gluten, dairy, soy, and egg, this bread mix is a delight! I replace the eggs with flax meal. 3 Tablespoons flax meal and 9 Tablespoons hot water. Let the flax meal sit for 10 minutes to gel, then add with liquids to the bread mix. I have to bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. If you make rolls, they bake in about 30 minutes--delicious too!
