Ok, so I get all the stuff together for lorkas wonderful sounding bread... I get the flax seeds, I find out how to grind them into meal... and I prepare the dough. OK, now this stuff is sooo thick.. the recipe says pour, ummm.. no where near that consistency. So ok, I have overly thick dough.. not a big problem hopefully. Then I put it in the oven to rise, nope, not at all, and I know I put the right yeast in and everything.. so then I take it out and put it on top of the heating oven covered with cloth, nope no rise. nothing. phooey.. not gonna work.. threw it out.. one baking disaster.. NEXT

I decide to finally make carriefaiths breadsticks... ok, I get all the ingredients together, start putting them in my mixer (btw this uses the last of my honey, so I cant even retry the bread) I open the yogurt and yup... its bad.. double phooey... now I had to throw out all the eggs and such that I already put in the mixer b/c I had no yogurt.

Today was just really a bad day for baking for me!!! I am going to get the rest of the ingredients hopefully tomorrow and try again... anyone have any idea why my bread might not have risen? I forgot to put cornstarch in it.. I didnt use the garfava flour, I used the 1 cup of brown rice with sorghum and the regular 1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour mix.. just forgot the cornstarch.. any help???

I want to make these sooo bad.. I just really stink at baking!

Aww, what a frustrating day it must have been for you!

There is a French term, "mise en place," that chefs use. It means to measure out EVERYTHING and put them in place before you start adding things and mixing them together. That way, you're less likely to forget the cornstarch (and maybe one of the liquids, from the sound of your dough).

After you have everything all measured out in separate little bowls, you can start at the top of your list and check everything off to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. THEN, you can mix the dry ingredients together, then the wet ingredients together, then all together!

It's also fun to have all the little bowls of ingredients--you can pretend you're a TV chef like Emeril, with all your ingredients all ready to go.

BAM!

Stephanie, the dough IS really thick and it rather drops into the pan instead of pouring. You have to push it out to the edges and smooth the top.

Make sure you eggs and other ingredients are room temperature - yeast doesn't rise when its cold. If you set the pan in a cold oven, you can place a pan of hot tap water in there to warm up the air and make it more humid. That usually gets my dough to rise, especially now that it's winter and the kitchen is anything but warm.

Good luck tomorrow.

.....I dont think I missed any liquids.....

tbs,

I frequently find that the batter requires an adjustment, usually adding much more liquid than called for. I'm guessing it's the xanthan or guar gums that's thickening things up. In my brief experience, I've found these wheat free breads to be not only very difficult to make but also very unforgiving. Instead one one flour, you are blending multiple flours and multiple starches. Then you must add a thickener or binder. And finaly, you end up with a sticky mess that more times than not, is appearently the wrong consistency. Then, if you're lucky and everthing seems to be going really well, the thing falls before you get it out of the oven. Really kind of sucks.

I've been making bread for many years and never had any problems till now. Don't feel bad, you're not alone.

best regards, lm

When I make gluten-free breads, the batter does NOT look anything remotely like wheat-based bread dough--but after baking, it does. I think it might turn out better if you don't add extra liquid to make the batter look "right."

((HUGS)) for the no good, horrible baking day yesterday! I can definitely relate!

Hope that it goes better this time! I have yet to make the other bread, but the bread that I make for Carleigh took me a while to get perfected. Now it comes out beautiful and she loves the taste. I preheat my oven to 200 and then turn it off for the bread to rise. Then kick it back on to bake.

I'm not sure why your bread didn't rise other than the suggestions already posted. But I did find out from another post (not sure what thread) that Xanthan gum has different strengths. I have found that with the Xanthan gum that I use I need to cut back a little or things turn out really gummy - this seems to have helped. The best success I have had with this bread is to use 1 1/2 cups Bette Hagman's fleatherlite mixture for the 1 1/4 gluten-free flour and 1/4 garfava flour . Keep trying even though it's frustrating - it's worth it when you end up with something edible!! :P

I made the bread, it came out great.. except for the fact that I stupidly forgot to spray the pan.. so most of the crust stuck.. but its still good.. i ate a few hot pieces with butter melting into it.. ohhhhhhh.. now I will wait until it cools.. next time.. duh, spray the pan!

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
