Dough Enhancer/bread Making Questions

I am band new to gluten-free cooking/baking. I was wondering if a dough enhancer would be gluten-free. It contains yeast, that appears to be the only thing questionable as I'm not sure if the yeast would be gluten-free.

Also, if those of you who are experienced with making gluten-free breads are able to share your favorite recipes, I'd really appreciate it. I have two young sons who are craving hot dog buns and white toast. ;)

:) TIA!

Blessings,

Angie

Yeast is gluten-free, but if this enhancer contains natural or artificial flavors, it might not be gluten-free. There are a multitude of possible questionable ingredients and places where wheat might be hidden. Your best bet is just to call the manufacturer.

I know the Gluten Free Pantry sells a dough enhancer that is gluten free. I add it to most of my baked goods.

I've been using Betty Hagman's Bread Recipe - I think you can find it in the recipe section of this website. You need a bread machine to make it, because the dough is very thin. I've made a couple of changes to the recipe which I think make it better:

1) use buttermilk instead of the 1 cup milk plus 1 tsp vinegar (make sure your brand of buttermilk doesn't have any modified starch)

2) I add 1/3 cup ground flax seed.

If your boys want "white" bread you can leave out the flax seed, but honestly, it gives the bread a much better taste. My 3 yo daughter loves this bread and she is a pretty picky eater!

Good Luck :rolleyes:

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
