I have been using the Gluten free pantry bread mix, and it is wonderful. But the problem is, while it is baking, it rises too much on one side, and is just fine on the other side. It is always on the same side (the side facing the front of my oven.) I am suspecting that it is my oven, but I dont' know how to fix it. My oven is only 3 yrs old, and it is electric. Bread is the only thing I have a problem with.

So what do I do? I want it to rise evenly! I am so frustrated.

Thanks,

ptkds

Not being much of a baker, but could you turn it a few time in the over to get a more equal heat?

I make their bread frequently. Two things come to mind--

When you're letting it rise, is one end of the pan closer to heat? This happened to me once because I let it rise while I'm preheating the oven, and my stove gets hot in the back when it's heating up.

The other thing you can do if the problem is with the baking, put the pan crosswise in the oven and 1/2 way through baking, turn the pan around.

I also found spreading the top of the batter evenly in the pan with a knife helps, too.

I'll second the comment about needing to turn it while it's rising. I let mine rise on top of the stove but I do turn it half way through the rising time.

One thing I do that may help... I bake my bread in the loaf pan on an Air Bake cookie sheet (in the middle of the sheet). It keeps the bottom of the loaf from burning but it would also help spread the heat around. Might be worth a try.

I thought of this last night when I was baking GFP French Bread. I had a French Bread pan and 4 sprinform pans filled for buns. The buns were in the usual spot and rose just fine. The bread evidently didn't get enough warmth because they didn't rise much at all (about one inch tall). The difference? Hubby talked me into putting the french bread pan in a different spot and it didn't work.

Finding the right spot in your kitchen for rising bread can be a challenge.

If you are proving your bread before baking (letting it rise).

Place the bread tin in a light weight plastic bag close it over and leave it on a window ledge

(that the sun is shining in through) for 40 - 45mins

then bake in a pre-heated oven for the required time.

Good advice except for one problem -- I never have time to bake until the sun goes down. :-)

I wonder if the top of a refrigerator is warm enough to do this job? Maybe the oven can be put on really really low?

Hi 'RiceGuy'

I doubt if the top of the of the refridgerator would be warm enough!

.

Caution:

When you are proving bread, if it rises too much prior to being baked,

it has a tendency to collapse (fall) as it cools.

.

If you had the oven very low to prove your bread, then it would NOT be at

the correct temperature to bake, once risen !

.

If you bake a lot of bread you could make a proving box, or use a small press

and have a goose neck lamp (reading lamp) with a halogen bulb (bulb generates heat)

that could supply sufficient heat for proving purposes.

.

If that's not feasible or possible, then go with the window ledge and the sun,

sunrise is about 5.30am and sets about 9.30pm lots of scope for proving bread

mind you, if you live at the back of an apartment block and the sun is at the front ?

I cant help !!!!!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
