What Makes Store Bread Soft?

Recommended Posts

As I mentioned in a different thread, I am working on creating a recipe thats gluten-free, and EF, and still as tastey and good as store bought bread "gluten" bread. I came somewhat close with my last loaf. I am using a recipe I found in Bette Hagman's cook book we have that uses her "gluten-free Flour" mix. Is it the ammount of liguid? Pulling the egg out does reduce liquid content a bit, and I could add some more to help. Just trying to cut back on the loaves I kill expermenting. :D

I believe the answer is primarily air. That becomes a problem when you pull out the egg, because the egg helps the bread keep its form after the baking process (the dispersed egg protein (along with other proteins in the dough) coagulate around the air bubbles yeast forms, and remain intact after the baking). Not quite sure what to do about it, myself...

Hmm air? Then more yeast would help. I'll try that next loaf.

Sigh... I was quite the bread baker in my former, pre-gluten-free life!

To make a bread with a finer 'crumb' and softer texture you need to add protien and fat to 'coat' the grains (in wheat bread that means the gluten, which gives the bread it's texture and strength).

I am assuming the same might hold true with gluten free bread. The best way to do this is to use the same recipe, but substitute milk for the water and add a couple of tablespoons of butter or oil.

I hope you can use dairy!

(and in the case of gluten-free bread, don't forget the xanthum gum)

Good Luck,

Pam

Diary is fine... okay so use milk instead of water and add butter that is easy enough to try!

As for the butter... real butter only or is margin okay? If not I cna use canole oil which I always have on hand.

The problem is that, without the structure to hold itself up, more air will only lead it to collapsing. The protein provides that structure.

So then, sub milk, increase yeast and toss in a little butter?

Yes! Sounds like a good plan...

Let us know how it turns out.

Welp the loaf is cooling now, and its definlty alot softer! Have to wait till my wife is up and about to try a piece and tell me what she thinks. It is borderline gummy though. If she likes it I'll start a new thread with the recipe. If not I'll come beg more advice :D

      No, there's no need to keep checking blood antibody levels.  The tests are meant to be used as diagnostic tools.  It can take several years for antibodies to completely disappear, if ever.   Do get checked for anemia and thyroid problems if you fail to bounce back.   I understand what it's like not to have family support.  You've got a large tribe here that believe.   Take care of yourself.  Sending hugs!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Do get checked for all kinds anemia, iron deficiency anemia, B12 deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia, B6 deficiency anemia.  Anemia is very common in Hashimoto's!   Anemia, Diabetes and thiamine deficiency are known causes of seronegative Celiac Disease.   You only need one gene for Celiac.  Welcome to the tribe! Keep us posted on your progress.

      Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome may be related to Thiamine Vitamin B1  deficiency.     Hyperemesis is a symptom of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from the diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain function and decrease of symptoms.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates can result in thiamine deficiency.   Many children on the Autism spectrum benefit from supplementing Thiamine.  See the research done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs' at the website hormonesmatter.com, or published on NIH pubmed.

      Some Celiacs react to the dairy protein Casein the same as they would to gluten. This could explain your ongoing inflammation.   Allergies can raise your histamine levels as can processed gluten free products.  To clear histamine, certain vitamins can help, B12, Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and Thiamine B1.   Optimal Vitamin D levels are between 80 and 100.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Seems like addressing nutritional deficiencies would be beneficial to you.  Blood tests aren't accurate measurements of the stores of vitamins inside cells in the tissues and organs where they are utilized.  Blood levels of vitamins can reflect what you've eaten in the past day or two.   ...
