There's 2 packages of yeast, is that a mistake? In the Bob's Red Mill baking mixes, is there supposed to be one or two packages of yeast, and am I supposed to use both?

I don't usually buy the baking mixes because of the expense and I really don't want to flub this one up! I've been craving the stupid bread all week now!

Hi Gymnastjlf,

If the mix just makes one loaf, then I'd suggest you use both packages of yeast. I know according to the book "The Gluten Free Diet: A comprehensive REsource Guide" by Shelley Case (dietician) under her suggestions for Baking Tips: Textures: it says that most gluten free breads often require more leavening than wheat flours due to the gluten which is necessary for forming dough with elasticity and enable the product to rise.

I once, goofed on my first prepared mix of rice bread, and added 2 tablespoons of yeast (had the wrong measuring spoon; haha :rolleyes: ). Then the next time I made it for my homemade pizzas, I used the amount they said which was 2 teaspoons. Anyhow, the first bread turned out way better than the 2nd. I think the extra yeast made the difference. :) Goofs help sometimes.

Enjoy the raisin bread (raisins have fiber and more iron: 6.6 grams per cup ) if you sprinkle in some ground flaxseed you'll get more fiber, plus essential fatty acids, and protein. Might as well make it a "good for you" treat too. :D

I think the 2 is an OOPS. Every time I have purchased the product there has only been 1 packet.

I think it's a mistake. I've bought their regular plain mix many times before and there was always only one packet. I don't see why it would be different for the cinnamon one.

I only used one of the packets, and I was left with a brick of bread. It did make edible bread pudding today though! Edible... note I did not say great!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
