Trufoods gluten free bread mix is a fine, off white powder that has been formulated and manufactured using specialty ingredients. The gluten free bread mix can be made the old fashioned way, as long as you prove it for 20-30 mins prior to baking, to give it a chance to rise. It can also be made in your bread maker. Some machines these days have a gluten free setting, but don't be too concerned if it doesn't, as it should still give you a fantastic fresh loaf of bread.
