French Bread

Recently tried Bette Hagman's French Bread recipe and want to thank whoever recommended it. It was so-o-o good. Is it possible to make this in a regular size bread pan -- maybe increasing the recipe another half? We would like to make it large enough for sandwiches, but hate to waste the ingredients if it would not turn out. If anyone has tried this, would appreciate you advice. Thanks!

Jo Ann,

I am so sorry, I did not see this yesterday. I posted in the french bread thread I had started as I had said I was going to try this as a regular loaf and post the results.

I made a regular sandwich loaf out of this yesterday. It came out very nice. Crunchy on the outside and soft in the center, just like the french bread loaf.

I did not make any changes to the dough. I cooked it longer and still could have cooked it just a little more.

When I do it again, I will let it rise a while longer before baking and cook a longer. It may require foil on the top for the extra cooking time to keep it from getting to dark.

I can't give you good estimates on times because, I baked it in my bread machine, which I wish I hadn't done, because it is malfunctioning. Any way it still came out very nice. I just think it could have been perfect with better baking and rising.

The loaf is a decent size for sandwiches, but it would be nice to have it a little taller. The shape and texture were beautiful. The taste was like the french bread. I love it.

I am glad you are having as good results as I am. It is so nice to have decent bread again.

Thank you, WW340. I'm going to try the recipe in a regular loaf pan and see how it turns out. Will follow your advice and let it rise longer and bake longer. It is really delicious bread. The only draw back is that the non-celiacs like it just as much so it doesn't last very long. Actually, our 15 yo. grandson is the celiac, and he's always pleased when others eat and enjoy his food, too. Our daughter (his mother) does not test positive, but she tried the gluten-free diet and feels so much better that she is gluten-free by choice. Will post results here when I have time to bake the French bread again.

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
