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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
