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

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
