Need Bread Help Please!

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 !!!!!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
