The Most Delicious Home-made Gluten Free Bread I've Ever Tasted...

Mine didn't rise fast at all. In fact, today I used the full 80 minutes AND I used quick rise yeast. :huh:

I wonder if it's because my pan is a different shape. It has the same volume (roughly) as a 9x5 pan, but it's 11x4.

I warmed the milk first, as a previous poster had...I may have murdered the yeast. :ph34r:

Make sure you don't use the instant yeast - if mine didn't rise at all, I'd probably go and get some fresh new yeast. As for warming the milk and ingredients, I've made this several times now and it's really not necessary to warm up the milk or eggs. If you can, just put them into a cup or bowl ahead of time and let them warm to room temperature.

I think that pan size should be fine IMO.

Perhaps Laurie can help you out further.

Hi All,

I'm new here....been perusing the board for a few weeks and decided to jump on in. I'd like to try this recipe as the various gluten-free breads I've purchased at the store have been less than satisifying. I looked in the fridge and see that I only have two eggs....would sour cream work as a replacement for the two egg whites? If not, what else would work to replace the egg whites? I'm in the mood to bake today so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Deb

I've tried a couple of mixes from the store, and my husband didn't really like them (him - gluten intolerance, me trying to be supportive). I wanted to try this recipe since everyone is raving about it, but I think I messed up!

Mine was not "pourable" into the bread pan - it was very thick. I double checked and I put the right amount of ingrediants, and I used the gluten-free mix by Hagman for the gluten-free flour. Its attempting to rise right now, but I've never had very good luck with bread, so we'll see what happens.

I think next time I'm going to try the sorghum flour instead of the garflava - I am not so sure about this bean taste.. maybe it bakes out a bit?

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated! Also, we don't have a bread machine, and I want to hold off purchasing one until we know if I will be baking bread or just buying the occasional loaf from the health food store... But should I get a heavy duty mixer? I only have a hand one, and it is not capable of mixing this batter/dough...

Thanks! Beth

Mine didn't pour either. I have a heavy duty mixer. It seems to mix well with that, but I could see a hand mixer being a problem for sure. I hope it works out for you.

Thanks! :) The good news is its been about 30 minutes, and it is clearly rising, something my other baking attempts failed to do... I'll keep my fingers crossed!

First of all I must say, "Lorka" is a godess amongst celiacs!!! This bread is awesome! I have made it 3 times in the last week because it goes so fast as the novelty of having bread again has not worn off. The last time I made it I made it into rolls that came out really well. One tip for making a good shaped consistant sized roll is to use a ice cream scoop (the kind with the spring release works best). I put them on sprayed/greased cookie sheets and let them rise for about 50-60 minutes and then baked them at 350F for about 20-25 minutes. The kids went to school with the most beautiful looking sandwiches ever!

For those of you that count carbs - I figured (by fairly rough calculation) that when using the recipe as written (with the flour mix being white rice, sorghum and tapioca) the carbs for the loaf are 371 grams for 12 slices that's 31 grams per slice. When I made the rolls the recipe yeilded 13 rolls, so about 29 grams of carb per roll.

Thanks again for this recipe, you've made a 6 year old and her mom VERY happy!

Given that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to baking bread, the fact that I've had several flops with different recipes, and that my loaf is 5 minutes from being done, and looks fabulous, I'd say...

ME!!! :)

I've But should I get a heavy duty mixer? I only have a hand one, and it is not capable of mixing this batter/dough...

I burned the motor out using my little light-weight hand mixer (probably 20 years old, so it's no great loss). Anticipating making another loaf today, I went out yesterday and bought a KitchenAid "Ultra Power" hand mixer. It has regular beaters and dough beaters. It worked like a charm and had no problem mixing up this heavy dough.

I also bought another loaf pan (the one I had been using is 8-1/2 x 4-1/5). So I bought a "professional" 9"x5" pan.

The loaf rose up well and I put the flat pan over the top as suggested and that did help square off the top surface. When I put it in the oven, the dough was about 1/4 inch over the top in the center. It rose up another 2 inches, and STILL FELL after I took it out of the oven.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? Should I let it sit in the pan for a while before taking it out???

I checked the yeast and in tiny print it said instant. It did say quick or fast acting in big print. Next time I'll use regular and see what happens. Ty's been eating it anyway, so it must be all right.

Yes, I definitely just use 'regular' yeast.

Regarding the cookbook - I've love to scratch a few of your brains with my ideas, and get some feedback. If you feel like helping me out (and by all means, you don't have to), it would be grand!

In that case, please email me!

Well, from the picture of your loaf, it turned out perfect!

Unless someone has a suggestion for me, I think the next loaf I'll reduce the water slightly and let it rise only about 1/4 inche from the top, rather than all the way. (It is perhaps just a tad too moist.)

The first two batches I used turned out great...I used a hand mixer.

The next two batches didn't turn out at all. They rose fine but fell. I used the bosch mixer.

I do have the quick rise I think though (not sure). I got it bulk.

I'd appreciate an ethnic gluten-free cookbook. But a really comprehensive one, not basic. Something that would go in depth and cover ALL cuisines, not just scratch the surface like the mainstream ethnic cookbooks do. Also, something that has good substitutions for those who can't have certain ingredients aside from gluten.

Mine fell a little bit, and caved in on the sides a little bit, so next time I'm going to let it sit in the pan for a few minutes (I took it out right away)..... But ABSOLUTELY Delicious - and pretty easy to make! My hubby loved it too, and since he's the one who has to eat it, that was the point.... My mom was even interested in the recipe, just because she liked it....

So I volunteer to be a tester! Consider me the inexperienced guinea pig - to see if the recipes are user friendly for the inexperienced baker! :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. And I am an experienced bread baker.... from years ago, though :(

A couple things that DID go right..... :)

I found that if I measured the oil first, then used the same tablespoon to measure the honey, the honey just slid right off the spoon.

I used my electric knife to cut this last loaf and it worked very well. Didn't gum up the blades one bit.

Now that I'm going to be baking this bread every week, I'm going to mix up a large batch of the dry ingredients (minus the flax and yeast) so I don't have to drag everything out each time.

OK, I'm going to be trying this recipe soon! I have a bread recipe that my dd likes well and I have figured out how to get to turn out pretty well, but with all the raving, I'm going to try it. We have never done flax before, but I bought some the other day for this recipe.

Here's my advice about the baking/falling. I've had that happen too. I now preheat the oven to 200 when I'm mixing the bread. Put the bread pan in the oven and turn the oven OFF. I set the timer for 20 minutes and when the bread is just below the rim of the pan, I turn the ofen back on to 400 and let bake for another 15-20 minutes. If it rises above the rim, then I have the sinking/falling problem.

That is so funny! I had that revelation too! I was amazed at how easy the honey came out, and even wrote a little note to myself to do that again! eheheheh

Its the little things that thrill....

I've been baking for a few years now. One daughter needs to be gluten and corn free, thus I have to make the bread because most mixes use corn starch. When the baked goods collapse, it is usually due to too much liquid in the mix. If you're having that problem, try cutting out up to 1/4 cup of liquid. Most of the time the consistency of my bread dough is like a thick cake batter. I use a heavy duty mixer, too.

I made a loaf of this bread last night, too.

I used garbanzo bean flour instead of the farvara bean flour.

I did, though, have the problem of the bread getting three times bigger as it baked and then falling as it cooled off. I read all the advice and I want to try another load tomorrow. I never thought I would ever be able to eat the fluffy bread again.

I love the fact that the reciepe calls for healthy flours. It's just what I've been looking for.

I LOVE THIS WEB SITE.

Thanks to all.

II want to try another load tomorrow. .

Let us know what you did and how it turned out. One loaf lasts my husband at least a week, so I won't need to bake another loaf until next week. I'm so hoping I canl make a "perfect" loaf (Not that the "fallen" loaf doesn't taste just as good.)

I just pulled a loaf out of the oven (my 3rd) and it got so big I think it was going to burst right out of the oven! It is now falling before my eyes. This is the first time that I made it with water instead of milk and the first time that I am having the high rise/flop problem. Anyone else notice this difference between milk vs. water or do you think it is a coincidence?

I also let it rise for 40 min. in a preheated (turned off) oven then turned the temp up to 350 before the loaf reached the top of the pan and baked for a little less than 40 min. I am cooling in the pan to see if that contains it.

When I made the recipe into rolls it worked great but even in the much smaller size the bottoms of some of the rolls were kind of dimpled in the center. Next time I may cut out a bit of liquid....

Still loving the great taste and texture though!!

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By emzie · Posted

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (
