Has anyone tried this with gluten-free dough (which is especially finicky and crumbly)? Could I press dough into holes instead of rolling/cutting?

I would try it out using a recipe of 1/4 of the ingredients called for and see how it turns out pressing the dough into the pie pan instead of rolling and cutting. I personally don't use Gluten-free cooking, but this is my suggestion.

Have never made gluten free dough so don't know, but you could certainly press any dough into the cups just like you might in a cupcake tin.

I have not tried gluten free, so can't comment on that part. Yes you can press dough into the form, you do not need to use the cutter.

I have not used GF dough in this particular pan, but I have in other types that require sizing the dough into a small area. I think it would work for you especially if you press it in instead of rolling and cutting. The removable bottom is an added plus for finicky doughs.

The only thing I make is cheese straws and the motor is not strong enough to push dough thru. Therefore I have never been able to use it. Sorry�...

It comes out in a large block. You can cut it any way you want to.I bought it because I make fresh bread almost constantly. I'm gluten free, my husband is not. With some tweeking of recipes, I've had really good results with both.

I have never used this option, so I have no idea. I would suggest you do what I have found to be the best option with this machine: use the dough cycle (which takes 90 minutes), take the dough out and shape it or let it rise one more time and then shape it and let it rise again before baking in the oven.

I have only used mine a few times and I had these same issues the first time I used it. With subsequent I made sure the counter was very wet (not just a few sprinkles) and I used quite a bit of flour. I live in a very dry, mountain climate and have to add extra water to my dough so it won't crack around the edges. I think it just takes practice to find the right amounts. Hope this helped some.

Hi Karen. If the bread dough is light, not heavy or stiff, it will do well. If it is chewy and hard you wont be able to mix it or knead it.Regards

Couple of suggestions...try baking for less time. I use a stand mixer and just follow the directions and it turns out fine. The cake mix is a little smaller than a regular boxed mix. I usually use a 9 x 13 but if you use squares or circles use 8 inch rather than 9 inch. You also might get the Gake Doctor Bakes Gluten Free by Ann Byrn for some alternatives that use other ingredients such as sour cream or non-dairy alternatives. A friend of mine puts a tablespoon of King Arthur's Cake enhancer in hers. The product is gluten free although they do not label it as such due to where it is processed. She is celiac and uses it freely without any negative consequence. Couple of suggestions...try baking for less time. I use a stand mixer and just follow the directions and it turns out fine.

I don't know anything about gluten free, but there will be a "slice" in the bottom of the loaf from the paddle. It usually just closes up once the paddle is removed. Sounds like a yeast problem if it was like a brick.

I have never tried it, but I don't believe the dough will stick. Here's why...I made a dough to bake rugelach and the pastries baked great on this. I don't think you'll find anything to stick on this....really! I cannot brag enough about this wonderful little baking pad. Definitely worth the purchase!

There are recipes for noodles in the recipe booklet. I prefer to make my pasta dough in my food processor. Haven't tried theirs but I'm sure it would be good. All the bread Ive mad in my machine is wonderful including the gluten free ones!

I use it in a gluten-free flour mix that I make up, but I have found some suspicious grains in it that look like barley or wheat. Fortunately, I am not overly sensitive to gluten. This has to be ground for flour so you will need a grinder.

Again--I'm only using the machine with the gluten-free setting--but there has been no disruption at all! I do take them out at 15 mins on the g-f cycle which is at the end of kneading and before it heats and rises. There are still small holes from the pin--but not a large blade mess! :-)

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse the ingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon as the dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.

I never used it for gluten free breads or cakes. I love this machine works great I use it all the time for bread and pizza

Yes. Just use flour. It is the best pin I ever had. The dough is easily rolled out.

I agree with David Cowell. The mixing paddle gets stuck in the baked bread, and leaves a good sized hole when you remove it. Also, you do need to open it during the mixing cycle to scrape the sides of the pan to make sure all the flour gets incorporated into the dough. Other than that, it's great. I use it about every other week to make gluten free bread and I get a consistent loaf every time.
