Bread Spewed Like A Volcano

Hi, this is my first post here and then I have to run for an appointment so I'll have to check later for feedback. I made zucchini bread the other day and put all the wet ingredients together. I used different bowls to make a regular loaf and gluten free loaf. I used Kinnikinnick all purpose wheat free mix and just a little corn starch since someone told me it would make it fluffier. The regular loaf was fine but when I checked the oven half way through the baking, the gluten free loaf had raised so high, it was spilling over the sides and just kept coming. I left it in there because it was on a cookie sheet, which caught the spillage. When I checked again, it had "deflated" and more was out of the loaf pan than in it. That couldn't be from the corn starch, could it? It tasted good, but was sticky. Any suggestions? Thanks.

So what you're saying is that you made two loaves, one with wheat flour, and the other identical except that you had substituted a gluten-free flour and added some cornstarch. Was there xanthan gum in the recipe or in the flour substitute?

Maybe you over-filled the pan, I know my recipe for zucchini bread makes two loaves.I use B. Hageman four bean flour and I don't add anything else---perfect every time

Did you use Kinnikinnick's "All Purpose Mix"? If so, it has leavening in it already. Did you by any chance put more leavening (baking powder or soda) in? A lot of extra leavening could make it "erupt".

Bingo! Thank you so much. I DID put baking powder and starch in it. I'll try it without those. Someone else mentioned overfilling the pan but after it finished spewing and then deflating, there was only an inch left at the bottom of the pan and it was not a good consistency. I'll try leaving out the leavening stuff first. The wheat loaf didn't spill over. Thanks again.

One of my clients (I'm a trainer) mentioned the zanthan gum yesterday. What exactly is that and what does it do? I'll check the flour mix to see if it's in there. <_<

Xanthan gum is a powdered product that helps return some of the gluteny stretch & structure that gluten-free flours lack. It helps bread (& other baked goods) rise & stay risen. But if you used a mix it may have included xanthan already. I'm betting on the too-much-leaven theory.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
