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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
