What Did I Do Wrong?

I just made my first loaf of bread. I used Bob's Red Mill bread mix. I followed all the instructions. I used my new kitchenaid 600 mixer. When I pulled it out of the oven, the bread had baked to be twice the height of the pan! It was about 5-6 inches over the top. It didn't even rise over the top before I put it in the oven. And it doesn't taste all that great, either.

So, what did I do wrong?? Why did it rise so much? How can I keep it from doing this next time? I will probably make bread from scratch from now on (it will be cheaper), but I still need to know what I did wrong so I don't do it again!

Thanks,

ptkds

how much yeast did you use? did you use one packet or 1 tbs? how big was the pan you used? maybe your pan was too small? just some ideas? i am new at all this so i could be off base, but those were my guesses.

my bobs red mill was okay in taste- but the pamelas is AWESOME- it really is amazing that its gluten free :) i made it the sweet bread style and its YUMMY!

first mistake, using Bob's Red Mill :P:P (just kidding) no, I second the guess that the pan was either too small or too much yeast) I use Pamela's bread mix and it's perfect everytime (unless my daughter runs through the kitchen screaming while it's tring to rise ;) ) There are some really good recipes for bread from scratch too, but Pamela's is so much easier. You could try doing the "dough only" cycle on your bread machine and transferring it to a regular sized bread pan to rise and bake, and see if that makes a difference.

I used the 9 x 5 pan, just as instructed. And I used the yeast packet that came with it. I am not sure if the yeast did what it was supposed to do when I put it in the milk. It was all lumpy and there were just a few bubbles coming up from around the lumps. Is this the way it is supposed to look? I have never really used yeast before, so I don't know what it is supposed to do.

Thanks,

I haven't used the Bob's Red Mill mix myself and when I use the yeast packets that come with the Pamela's mix they are nice little granules that just roll right out of the packet... no clumping or anything. Honestly I haven't had much luck with any of the Bob's Red Mill products and I don't think they taste that good either.

Here's a link to some tips on making gluten free bread work . . . don't know if they'll help with this situation, as they are written for a bread recipe, not that particular mix, but I figured they couldn't hurt!

I am not sure you are supposed to let the yeast touch liquid for some reason. hmm...I know, my bread machine says don't let the yeast touch liquid but rather place the yeast on top of the flour (dry ingrediants) and then its kneeded into the moist dough rather than the liquid...

Hope your next loaf turns out fabulous! :)

It's okay to put yeast in water . . . placing yeast in warm water actually "wakes it up" and activates it (though I think the warmth is more important than the wetness . . . but it's probably the combination of both). When you put yeast in a bowl of warm water (plus a teaspoon of sugar or so) it creates air bubbles. Eventually, the bowl will be full of brownish foam (with water underneath). The yeast continues to ferment in the bread, which is what makes bread dough rise.

Sometimes the yeast does clump together once it's been mixed in with liquids . . . I hate that and always try to break up the lumps because I don't want lumps of yeast in my finished product. I'm trying to remember when I get that problem . . . I think it's when I dump the yeast into the liquid. It seems like pouring the liquid on top of the yeast causes fewer clumping problems . . . perhaps because the yeast is already spread out a bit before the liquid hits it.

I think the reason the bread machine directions tell you to add the yeast to the moist dough is probably becasue it is easier on the machine in some way. I personally hate to just add the yeast to the moist dough because the yeast dissolves better when it is in lots of water for a while . . . and I dislike finding small balls of undissolved yeast in my bread. Of course, I usually make my bread in a heavy duty mixer and bake it in the oven, so I don't have to worry about possibly damaging an expensive bread machine! I can just do it however I want! :D

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
