Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Bread Mix-help

I have been buying Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful gluten-free Bread Mix and making it at home. I love the taste and texture, BUT my loaf is not coming out right. I follow the directions exactly and while baking it doubles in height. It is like there is actually another whole loaf of bread sitting on top of the one in the pan! One time I had to adjust the rack in the oven because the top was touching the burners and still looking for more room. :lol: This last time I baked it, not only did it double in height, the sides caved in a little and when I sliced it, there were holes in the loaf. I tried dividing the mix into two loaf pans (thinking that this would make two perfect size loaves) but then it didn't rise at all and I ended up with two mini loaves. :rolleyes: What to do?? I just want a normal size loaf of bread. I also tried not letting it rise quite as long and this didn't make any difference. I really want to find a way to make this work because I love the bread. Thanks!

Are you at a wierd altitude?

Mine has done that too. I think it is weather sensitive. Have you noted it happening more on sunny or rainy days??

I find my gluten-free cooking works better if I have my oven hot or even over warmed before I add the item. When I put the item in I drop the temp to the one on package.

I have found that Bob Red Mill bread and other products have never come out for me and I bake quite a bit. So not sure maybe like someone said aboutt he altitude or weather.

As far as I know I am not living in an altitude that would cause problems with baking. I have never had any problems in the past.

Mom23boys,

Thanks for your idea. Maybe I will try adjusting the temperature like you do.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      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...

      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

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      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...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      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.
