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!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
