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!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
