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!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
