Bread Baking Tips

I have not had gluten-free bread for about 6 months. I fail almost every time I make it and do not like store bought. Yesterday, I had such a craving for bread I went to the store and bought Bobs Red Mill Bread mix. I happened to get onto my myspace and one of my gluten-free friends had a posting from Epicurious magazine on baking gluten-free. Ironic huh??? Well I took two of the tips and tried them.

1) Place a iron skillet filled with water in the oven with the bread to increase moisture (make sure you check the water and add more if needed

2) Take the bread out of the bread pan when it is able to hold its own shape and place it on a pizza stone

I also added about 2 T Honey to the mix.

Talk about the best gluten-free bread ever. I usually like my homemade bread warm. The next day I hate how it falls apart and MUST be toasted. Well, today I had a chicken salad sandwhich on the moistest white bread I have had in 1.5 years. Funny thing is I have used Bobs Red Mill before and it was just OK. I really think the pan of water made the world of difference!

TRY IT....Gotta go and eat a peanut butter sandwhich. LOL

I don't understand #2. Is that a warm pizza stone from the oven or just a cold one? Also, how long do you wait for it to cool before taking it out of the pan?

Thanks for the tips! Shannon,

We all need any suggestion we can get, to help with the "bricks of clay" lol. :D

When you place the iron skillet in the oven, with the bread. Is it under it? or Beside it? Just clarifying :)

thanks

Sorry I was too vague....oops :ph34r: The article was vague too. I kind of winged it. This is what I did....

I placed the skillet next to the loaf of bread. BECAUSE I placed the pizza stone on the rack below so that it was hot when I removed the loaf. I removed the loaf after about 30 minutes of baking. I could tell it was cooked well enough to hold its own shape without the bread pan. You know when you start tapping it to check for doneness BUT it doesnt sound hollow???? That is when I did it.

BTW I only had a fajita skillet so I had to fill it with water 3 times! Also I thought the bread was smoking.....it was the moisture coming out of the oven when I opened it LOL

BTW my bread is STILL moist and tasty 3-4 days later!!!

YUMMY.

Forgot to mention...You take the loaf out in the baking process NOT too cool. Only remove it to place on pizza stone and finish baking time.

Did that help???

I used the water trick yesterday, placed the giant skillet under the loaf. I had to move the rack with the bread on it halfway thru cooking because it rose too high and was hitting the top of my oven--never had that happen before. It shrank only a little after coming out of the oven, but it has the best texture I've ever gotten from that mix!! (Pamela's) I don't have a pizza stone anymore.

Do you hand make it or put it in the bread machine? My grandma uses her bread machine to get it all mixed and finishes baking it in the oven

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

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      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.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
