Reverse-Engineering Udi's Bread


RiceGuy

Hi,

I'm new here and hope you don't mind if I chime in. I'm a cook and a baker so I can't wait to give this bread a try. I haven't tried making gluten-free bread yet because with it just being me to cook for, it was just easier for me to buy this bread at the health food store. The cost for bread was one of my biggest shocks after finding out I had Celiac Disease not that long ago.

I can offer a hint about the falling center of this bread at least for now. Fluid amounts are a factor always. It also has to do with the ingredients not being included in the recipe. The ingredients added by Udi's for texture and anti-molding etc. But there are things you can do to substitute, I will just have to experiment like all of you are doing.

I noticed one person said to whip the egg whites, this is correct and will make a better bread when not using wheat flour. Egg whites should always be added after oil fats. And water should be added after egg and oil fats are included to your recipe. When you add the oil (fats) to a bread and when you add water make a difference to the reactions of bread making. Fluffier, heavier, time needed to cook etc.

If the recipe is goopy, the bread will also fall at its center. Flours used that are not wheat will need to be rolled and tucked before panning them. Try gluten-free flouring a board and slowly pouring goopy mixture onto it while gently kneading it until it is firmer.

Note: Not sure is this is also relevant with gluten-free flours but, you might want to make sure if you are a coffee drinker to glove your hands. Coffee creates acids in our hands as we exert them in kneading and will affect how bread rises.

If the recipe for this bread is what you like "but" it's the falling center that frustrates you, then use a smaller bread pan when cooking this recipe. Yes, the bread will be smaller but the center will not experiance the same mishap. I have several different pan sizes and use the smaller pans for all the gluten-free sweet breads I make and haven't had any of the centers fall with this heavier mixture recipes.

I hope something of what I have said helps you.

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
