Home Baked Gluten Free Buns using Simple Mills Artisan Bread Mix

I’m a huge fan of Simple Mills line of mixes and products. Pancake Mix, Muffins/Cupcakes Mix, their almond cracker, cookies and now, their Artisan Break mix. The mixes are generally just a handful of simple ingredients that I would characterize and higher quality, better choice ingredients.

In this post, I adapt Simple Mills excellent gluten free bread mix for use as buns.

I used Norpro’s Puffy Muffin Top Pan to make the buns. I liked the size (4″ wide by 1/2″) deep and the 6 wells ended up working perfectly for one complete box of mix.

Ingredients and Nutrition Facts. Six ingredients that you can read and pronounce.

This mix can be made in at least three different ways – Flatbread, Dinner Rolls and Loaf. I had tried the dinner rolls for a holiday meal and was very impressed. That encouraged me to give buns a try.

The buns/muffin tops – I used the dinner roll recipe for this batch

Prior to try the dinner roll variation, I tried the flat bread variation. The flat bread recipe is on the right. Far too dense to be considered a bun, in my opinion. The flat bread attempt turned out well but really a lot more like a biscuit than a bun.

I sliced the buns while they were still warm

Toasting two buns on my Little Griddle (on my electric stovetop). I love my Little Griddle!

The finish toasted buns!

A gluten free sloppy joe!

These turned out really, really well. I have never found a store bought, ready made gluten free bun that I like. They fall apart, they’re mealy, they don’t taste good and they’re expensive. I’ve had good GF buns in restaurants, but nothing that I could use at home. Really glad to have a fresh baked option with quality ingredients. Thank you to Simple Mills for making awesome products!

About Canyon Bakehouse…

“Our mission is simple: we want you to Love Bread Again. Our family is passionate about making real food with wholesome, clean ingredients. We bake bread the old-fashioned way and use only 100% whole grains. From our family bakehouse in the Rocky Mountains to your kitchen, enjoy eating without compromise.

When co-founder Christi Skow was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2007, the Canyon Bakehouse mission to make high-quality, great-tasting gluten-free breads began. Frustrated by gluten-free breads that lacked in taste and nutritional value, Christi, her husband, Josh, and their friend and Master Baker, Ed Miknevicius, set out to bake breads that were free from gluten and other allergens, but held the taste, texture and feeling of “real” bread.

In late 2009, Canyon Bakehouse was founded, and five years later, we’re happy to be providing gluten-free bakery products to more than 7,500 stores throughout the U.S. We understand the need for breads that are safe, taste great and don’t make you compromise on the quality of ingredients. That’s why we use only 100% whole grains, no GMO’s and ingredients you can find in your own kitchen, such as extra virgin olive oil, organic agave syrup, quinoa and sunflower seeds.”

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix

One of my first restaurant outings after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease was Outback Steakhouse. By the way… Kudos to Outback Steakhouse for their gluten free offerings. Anywho… I was happy to see they had a gluten free dessert… the Thunder from Down Under Brownie Sunday. I had had that in the past and didn’t even know it was gluten free. It’s pretty tasty y’all.

Knowing that delicious Gluten Free brownies were within reach, I picked up Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie mix to give it a try. I was very happy with the results. It produces delicious brownies that are pretty well identical to gluten-containing brownies. Or at least when I remember of gluten-containing brownies. When I run into something like this, I often wonder if my taste buds, perceptions and likes are skewed by not eating gluten. After all having a “fill in the blank” can be better than having… nothing. To test this, we made a pan of these brownies last week when we had a group (of gluten eating) friends over and they were a hit.

This mix produces great brownies.
