My son is eight. He is also high functioning autistic. We've started on the Gluten Free and Casein Free diet. Boy, you can't even begin to imagine how hard *that* is - no bread, no cow milk and no cheese (and no typical butter either). We *are* going to try to add in cheese products in a week or two and are going to try this recipe then. I'm a *pitiful* baker and I've had really heartbreaking success with Gluten Free bread. My son won't touch a PB&J now, and that's causing real problems with lunch. His biggest problem with GF bread: it's shorter (i.e. not as tall) and less wide than typical bread. By the time I get through cutting the crusts off like I used to, it's the size of a postage stamp. That doesn't compute with the memory back of my OCD kiddo so in the trash it goes. How can I fix this with GF flour and bread mixes? The other posts are mostly right: I'm past the basics (thanks to exhaustive hours on the net) but I *REALLY* appreciate the step by step pictures!! I always have problems with stuff rising correctly: it's usually a flat or concave rock (or in the case of my attempt to modify KAF's wheat sandwich bread recipe a complete rock). Could you please have step by step guides for the less knowledgeable (like me) and the more advanced stuff for the Martha Stewarts around here? If KAF makes a bread mix or flour that won't make a postage stamp sized slice of bread, I just may cry. Thank you for at least trying!!!!! Crystal, I'll be blogging our plain white sandwich GF bread recipe, plus variations to make cheese bread and cinnamon-raisin, next week, with complete step-by-step pictures. If you have an electric mixer (hand, or stand), and the necessary GF ingredients, you'll be all set. Really, you can't go wrong. What size bread pan do you have? I just cut the crusts off a loaf I baked yesterday, and it was 3" x 3"; not exactly full sized, but better than a postage stamp. Question: Are you able to follow the step-by-step instructions in the blog, or do you find them too advanced? If too advanced, tell me how you'd like them to appear to be more understandable, OK? Thanks- PJH
