Brand Of Stand Mixer Yielding Successful gluten-free Reults

Dough climbs up my beaters of my stand mixer before I can turn off the machine, climbing up beaters & into machine air intakes (on my Sunbeam Mixmaster from 1986) in 1.3 nanosecond when I'm beating/mixing gluten-free breads. I can't complete any gluten-free recipes with this machine before it's all up the beaters in 1 huge blob. Within a few seconds this glombing begins when the recipe calls for 2 or 3 minutes of mixing. Can anyone tell me the brand and model of a mixer they use for making gluten-free breads, with success so Santa knows to bring this to my home for Christmas? Or what might be an alternative way to beat these bread doughs? I follow recipe instructions carefully. I use an egg substitute product when egg are included. After laboriously mixing by hand, I: use silicone pans, per the manu. instructions, I lower the temp by 25 degrees and add 15 minutes baking time. Is there something I am missing?

I'm not new to baking but several different gluten-free recipes &/or packages of mix do the same climbing thing in the bowl at this stage. Yeast or not, it seems I'm not strong enough to quickly beat the dough by hand for 2, 3 minutes. Doing the same methods, I didn't have this problem when I baked with wheat flours. So I know the gluten-free acts differently, just not why. AARRGGHH!

Any suggestions are more than welcome! I'm gluten-free for 1 year with excellent results. My gluten test blood work is 3 today when my diagnosis 13 months ago was >100. It's marvelous when we are in control of Celiac, isn't it? We all help each other so much. Thank you, anyone responding! Happy Holidays!

I just spray my beaters with non-stick spray and that really helps..Its such a pain when it all globs up like that!

I have a Kitchen Aid...... haven't had that happen. It does happen with my hand kitchen -aid mixer for five power levels though. I just think the reason it happens with it is tomuch dough for it to handle. Happens when I double or triple some recipes.

If your Sunbeam has dough hooks you could try that. The other technique I've used is to hold a spatula against the top of the beaters to prevent the climbing dough.

I don't know if you are using a dough hook, but I have read that you shouldn't use them with gluten-free breads. I just use the regular paddle beater for all my cooking.

I second the paddle beater...I have never used the dough hook for making bread!

Hi

I third the paddle vote! I had the kitchenaide plus for about 10 years and never had a problem but Santa came to my house early this year and brought me the KitchenAide Pro-600 with 6 Qt. capacity. Ohhhhhh a thing of total beauty. And get this usually $399 . . . I got it at Amazon for $259 then a $50 rebate so final price of $209 plus free shipping. Oh, heaven!! :rolleyes:

I easily did 2 loaves of bread in it today and am thinking about seeing if it will take 3. I'm in love! Gosh it takes so little to make me happy sometimes!

I've used Pamela's mix and the gluten-free pantry mix. I've made both with and without the dough hook. I can't tell a difference in the outcome but witht he hooks you don't have the climbing problem. I think the issue is that you don't need dough hooks because you don't knead the dough, not that you shouldn't use them.

The dough climbs up my hand held mixer and my older Sunbeam stand mixer also. Holding a spatula at the top of the beaters does help somewhat. The next time I make bread, I'll use the regular beaters for the wet ingredients, then switch to dough hooks for the dry ingredients and see how that works. I'm not in the market for another stand mixer at present....my older Sunbeam was found in a thrift store for $18 and it included dough hooks and 2 bowls! After I become more experienced at this gluten free bread baking, then I'm thinking of the Kitchen Aid stand mixer also. No one seems to have anything negative to say about the brand.

Hi, I had the same problem with my circa 1983 Mix master. I only use if for cake batter and gluten free pizza dough now. Even though most recipes state not to use the dough hooks, I find that is the only way my mixer can stand up to the gluten-free doughs.

My solution was to purchase a bread machine (Cuisinart) to handle the kneading of the bread doughs. Works like a charm.

Best of luck!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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! 🫶
