I've noticed several bread recipes call for the cider vinegar. What is its purpose? Is it to imitate buttermilk or something?

It is just driving me nuts not knowing why its put in a recipe. Anyone else like that? YOU just have to know why?? hahahaha

From what I have read vinegar is put into bread as a preservative.

I have a few recipes that say "dough enhancer" or vinegar.

The reason for adding a little vinegar to yeast bread recipes is that the yeast 'works better' under acidic conditions, i.e. converting the carbs (flour) to sugar, alcohol and carbondioxide to rise the bread. In wheat bread recipes this is done, also. So you almost always see this in a gluten free yeast bread recipe because it will need all the help it can get to rise!

Vinegar in a quick bread using baking soda would be equivalent to adding buttermilk- something acidic to react with the alkaline soda to give off carbondioxide to rise the bread.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
