French Bread


GRUMP 1

Recommended Posts

Does any one have a good recipe for making French bread? Some thing that could be cooked on a cookie sheet. It seems as though all the bread doughs I have ever seen are not real think like a gluten dough would be. There for would run all over the pan I would think.

Thank you,

Grump

I make Bette Hagman's Rapid-Rise French bread from "More From the Gluten-Free Gourmet" and it's good, especially hot out of the oven or as a base for french bread pizza, but you're right, the batter can be a little thin. Instead of a cookie sheet I use a baguette pan, and instead of rolling the kneaded dough into a loaf like with wheat bread, you don't knead gluten-free bread, you just spoon glops of it onto the pan in a line. If you don't have a baguette pan, I would suggest using foil to create half-pipes on the cookie sheet to help the dough keep its shape, otherwise it might just spread out on the pan and not give you that long thin shape.

I use this recipe from recipezaar.com. I bake it on a cookie sheet and it holds up great, although the dough is sticky.

Hey Grump - This is a good French Bread recipe. It does require either regular bread pans or a dual French Bread pan that can be purchased at a kitchen store. The French Bread pan makes a real difference in the finished product, so I encourage you to find one. The results are worth it!

Also, Gluten-free bread mixes are not thick like regular bread mixes. You do not, and in fact could not knead them. They must be mixed with a heavy duty mixer. Hand mixers will not work. If the bread mix just settles back down in the bowl when you stop the mixer, you probably need to add 1/4 cup more Gluten-free flour or an extra egg. It may take a few "tries" to get really good results, so hand in there. Hope this works for you.

Note: If you are totally frustrated try Kinnikinnick bagels or their Italian white sandwich bread. They are pretty tasty.

Thank you all. I have the recipes and will go looking for French bread pans again next payday.

Thank you again,

I made the Bette Hagman's french bread last week & it turned out quite good. AND, I baked it on a cookie sheet (my trick was that I "piped" it onto the sheet through a hole cut in the corner of a plastic bag). After that it remained shaped just fine (it wasn't quite as soft a dough as some of the gluten-free breads, though).

      If you're more comfortable starting slow, that's fine, but do increase your dose to 500 mg per day as quickly as possible.  The World Health Organization recommends 500 mg thiamine HCl per day when deficiency is suspected.  Dr. Lonsdale had researched high dose thiamine for decades, and he has used higher doses, 1 to 3 grams in some cases.   Like I explained above, it's at that 500 mg level or higher that passive diffusion happens and thiamine can get into cells.  Inside the cells, thiamine turns the mitochondria back on.  Mitochondria produce energy the cells use to function.  I had been taking a multivitamin containing thiamine HCl regularly and still had become deficient.  Malabsorption of celiac disease really affects vitamin absorption.  I bought a bottle of thiamine HCl.  I was skeptical, too. I thought it couldn't be that easy.  I took 500 mg all at once.  I had improvement within minutes.  I couldn't believe the sensation of energy spreading to all parts of my body.  My brain felt like it was lifted out of a sub-sub-basement by an elevator and lights were coming on, floor by floor, of a skyscraper.  It was mental improvement, mental clarity.  Thiamine is needed for nerves to transmit electrical impulses, so the more nerves transmitting electrical impulses, the more my brain started working better.  The better my brain started working, the better I felt physically.  My muscles had more energy.  I wanted to get up and do stuff.   P.S. Questions are welcome.  "there's no poverty like ignorance, no wealth like knowledge". Keep learning!

      Thanks! I think I'll start slow. See what happens. Should I notice the thiamine working almost straight away if I'm really deficient? What kinda of difference did you notice? More mental? Of also physical in the sense of more energy?    Sorry for all the questions!

      Absolutely no danger of overdosing on the stuff.  Thiamine is nontoxic, and safe.  I had gotten to 1000 mg of Thiamine HCl a day at one point.   Do continue taking the multivitamin with the other B vitamins.  You may want to add a magnesium supplement because magnesium and thiamine make enzymes together.  I like Magnesium l-Threonate (Neuro-Mag by life extension).  You may want to add a B Complex in addition to the multivitamin (take them at different times).  All the B vitamins are water soluble.   With Thiamine HCl, there's a "magic moment" about 500 mg, where sufficient thiamine can get into the cells by passive diffusion, and the difference is amazing.  In thiamine insufficiency, the thiamine transporters (special gates into the cell) shut down.  Thiamine cannot get into the cells until there's a higher concentration outside of the cell.  Once that happens, the  thiamine can get through and go to work inside the cells.   If you're brave, start with 300 mg at one meal and 200 mg at the next meal.  Increase as you feel comfortable.  You may want to stay at one amount for a few days before increasing again.  Just keep adding another 100 mg as long as you keep feeling improvement.  If you feel uncomfortable, skip the next dose.  Thiamine HCL is water soluble and excess is easily excreted.  Don't take thiamine close to bedtime because you may feel too energized to sleep.   Thiamine HCl may feel like riding in the back of a pick up truck on a gravel road.  Benfotiamine feels like you're in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce.  TTFD feels like you're driving a Lamborghini.  You'll get there no matter what kind of thiamine is taking you there.  Just keep taking it.  The health improvements can be very subtle, but you'll notice in the long run.   I started with 500 mg of Thiamine HCl, to see what would happen and had amazing improvement within an hour.  I took 300 mg with each of two meals and 100 mg with snacks.  I eventually added in Benfotiamine (250 mg  a couple of times a day) and reduced the thiamine HCl.  Later I added in TTFD (50 mg) several times a day.  Just experiment and see what feels right for you. Everyone is different and has a different level of deficiency.   I kept having additional improvement with each type of thiamine.  I've taken thiamine for almost fifteen years now.  I still take all three kinds on maintenance doses.  You have to experiment and see which ones work best for you in which combination.   I'm right here if you need anything.   You'll be fine.
