If you can get a copy of Hagman's bread book (try Amazon's listings of used for great prices), you'll see that in this recipe as in most of hers, she gives instructions for both machine and "hand-made" breads. I make mine by hand. When you try it, keep a close eye on the pan when it's in rising mode, as I find it doesn't take an hour to rise. What I made today, for example, was ready at 30 minutes. And be very careful to put it in to bake once it's risen to the top of the bread pan. Any further and it will over-proof, and you'll end up with a sunken top at the end.

There is no quinoa bread available commercially as far as I know. You can ALWAYS bake a bread recipe in a conventional oven rather than with bread machine. You just have to change it slightly. Basically, put the water in a small bowl, add the sugar, and add the yeast and let it proof before adding to the rest of the ingredients and mixing. A standing mixer is very helpful for gluten-free baking if you don't have a bread machine, and if you don't have that, it could be difficult. You can use a hand-held but our heavy flours are tough on the motor and they are likely to burn out. You would want to beat the batter including yeast water for about three minutes before putting it in an oiled bread pan. Then let it raise for about an hour or until doubled in size. Bake at 350 or 375 for 50 min or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. An electric toaster oven won't be big enough for most loaf pans; a conventional oven is what you want to use. Hope this helps! -SEA Fran,

All recipes for baking my own say you need a bread machine to do it. I can't afford to buy a bread machine right now and wonder if it can be baked in a conventional oven or an electric toaster oven. Can you help? Betty,

If you're having trouble, you might find decreasing the water in the recipe will help. I usually do her small or medium recipes as I find if I do the large, the recipe will overproof. I have my Zojirushi set so there is only one stir and rise time, and I always take it out right away- no warming phase as that will also cause the bread to sink a bit. :) Good luck and let me know how it goes! -Sea Hi Betty,
