I've seen many recipes encouraging people to help the machine mix mid way through the mixing cycle for gf recipes. My question is, why not just mix the wet and dry ingredients BEFORE placing in the bread machine? I realize the bread machine guidelines don't indicate this, but they don't normally say to lift the lid and help the machine mix. Wouldn't it be easier just to mix it all up, place in the pan and then leave it? I think I must be missing something....
