gluten free bread in bread machine?

I was wondering if anyone has looked at the cost ($ and time) of making their own gluten free bread in a bread machine over buying it in the shops. Yes I know by making it my self I know what's in it, yadda yadda yadda. What I'm looking at is whether I should buy a bread machine or just buy the stuff in the shops.

Also if anyone has done it how does it turn out? The stuff from the shops has been iffy.

    Here is a recipe that does not require a bread machine.

    Ingredients:

    one packet of yeast

    1 ½ cups water, 110-115 degrees

    1 T sugar

    2 ½ cups flour mix

    2 teaspoons xantham gum

    1 teaspoon salt

    3 eggs

    1 ½ tablespoons oil

    1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

    Mix the yeast, sugar and water; let sit until frothy. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the wet in a small bowl. When the yeast mixture is frothy, add it + wet mixture to the dry and mix with an electric mixer for four minutes. Let rise for one hour and then bake for 50-60 minutes at 375.

    What I've learned from that recipe:

    -Use an electric mixer – don't do it by hand. The electric mixer beats more air into the batter and it turns out better.

    -You won't be able to knead the dough; it's like thick pancake batter. Run the mixer for the full four minutes.

    -Be careful with the warm water for the yeast – get the temperature right or the bread is going to suck.

    -Don't put it in the refrigerator – it turns soggy and gross. Use it at room temp for up to 2 days, or slice it and freeze it in pairs (for sandwiches) wrapped in cellophane and inside a large ziploc.

    -Toast it.

    The cost of making this GF bread is $3.01 (and you get 16 slices!), and that was with pricy organic eggs (all that I had on hand).

    So try it, compare that taste & price to what you are finding in the shops, and decide if it's worth it.

    The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind… refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar!

    As you can see, the benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible! I’ve been eating 95% Paleo for the last 5-6 years and I’ve never felt better. I have dozens of friends that have adopted a more Paleo way of eating too, and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity, and of course, losing a lot of body fat!

    I make my own gluten free breads and tortillas all the time. The net is filled with gluten, grain free, low carb and other alternative recipes. You don't even need a bread machine. Bake it in the oven and get great results.
