For anyone following a medically required gluten-free diet, suitable certified ingredients should be used and care should be taken to prevent cross-contamination from utensils, surfaces and other ingredients.

The kneading blade combines with specially positioned ribs inside the pan to stretch and work the dough, helping develop the structure needed for beautifully textured homemade bread.
