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 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!

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
