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

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
