Baking Bread

Ok I love to bake, but I have always baked desserts, pastries, cookies, candies, etc, and I am pretty fearless about it.

Bread however, living in Seattle we always had a "Great Harvest" at any of the neighbohoods I have lived in.

So now I have some ideas... and questions because I am not sure what does what in recipes. Gimme a week and I will be more confident.

The recipe I was itching to try was from my book The Wheat Free Cook (Jacqueline Mallorica) and it calls for yogurt. It's a quick bread recipe, there is no yeast in it. And it's a 'Hearth- Style' rustic with seeds on it.

I can't have vinegar... I can't have dairy... I am assuming it's to react somehow with baking soda or baking powder?

You think I could substitute with citric acid powder?

If the recipe calls for dairy, that would be the reason to include baking soda. The soda neutralizes the acid in the dairy, so the baking powder doesn't fizzle out before you get the dough in the oven. Therefore, if you omit dairy and other acidic ingredients, you should be able to omit the baking soda.

If it where me, I'd probably just use a little unsweetened apple sauce in place of the yogurt, and however much extra water it takes to get the right consistency for the dough.

Use Bob's Red Mill baking powder, and it should be just fine. From all my experience, Rumford's doesn't work in gluten-free breads.

The addition of yogurt or buttermilk produces a moist tender product. I have been using plain soy yogurt(Whole Soy and Co.) as a CF sub. for yogurt or buttermilk. If the original recipe called for buttermilk then I add a just little water to thin the yogurt just a bit to make it the consistancy of buttermilk. IMHO the best baked goods recipes often have buttermilk or yogurt in them.

If you don't use soy yogurt then you will need to sub with something of a similar thickness and moisture content, like the applesauce that RiceGuy suggested, or some other puree.

      Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense of Villi will typically result in watery bowl movements, other telltale signs being, lethargy, feeling cold, always hungry (valuable nutrients are being bypassed). I was diagnosed 12 years ago. One other thing associated with an AutoImmune Disease, they generally have a companion, in my case I have Hypothyroidism, other may have Hyperthyroidism (Hashimoto's). Others may get Eczema, or some other skin disorder, usually due to not getting the proper nutrition your body needs.   HTH Mark.

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.

      Claritin is an allergy medication which can help with allergy symptoms, but may not be helpful with gluten exposure.
