Help Baking gluten-free Bread Mixes

Hello everyone:

I am new to your forum and am ready to tear my hair out trying to bake gluten-free bread mixes. Here's the problem: Currently, I'm using the Bob's Red Mill white mix (but, I've had the same thing happen with another brand too). I started with a portable mixer and the dough would 'glom' up or crawl up the beaters and into my mixer. A real mess and I would end up not even being able to beat it the required length of time.

So, I invested in a stand mixer (as recommended), have used it twice, and the same thing happens! I am really exasperated with this. What am I doing wrong?? :huh:

I have only used The Gluten Free Pantry bread mixes. I have a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and have had no problems.

Did yours come with different attachments? If so are you using the dough hook (or which ever one you have that is suitable?)? With the stand mixer it will not climb up the beater like a hand mixer (from what I have read about the hand mixer).

How is your bread turning out? I am not familiar with the Bob's Red Mill bread mix (pretty much all have tapioca in them -- I can't have) but with The Gluten-free Pantry Mix you have to let it rise for around 30-40 minutes with plastic wrap on the top. Does your rise?

Sorry so many questions.... :)

Hello,
I have never answered a post on this forum before, so I hope that I am doing it correctly. I have a Sunbeam stand mixer with dough hooks and regular beaters. I have tried it using both sets and they both do the same thing. Actually, I have used the gluten-free Pantry Mix and it seems to do the same thing. I really prefer the gluten-free Pantry mix because you don't have to add the yeast separately and must use milk, etc, but the Bob's Red Mill was on sale, so I bought several of them.

I believe that the "Bob's" said NOT to use the dough attachments, but it didn't seem to make any difference. The bread is turning out pretty well despite the lack of beating the dough. Yes, it does have to rise with plastic on the top. It bakes just fine and has a tendency to fall a little in the middle while it is cooling. I wonder if that's because it doesn't get beaten like it should. Anyway, I just can't imagine what in the world I am doing to make this 'climb the beaters.' It sure does make a mess.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
