O.k., So I Stirred It

Hi everyone,

I'm very sad to report the demise of a potentially wonderful loaf of bread. <_<

It kind of made a hard, dirt, crust thing.

I stirred the yeast in the hot water as it was supposed to be frothing...

but there was no froth...and I wanted it to froth...any sign of life from that

freakin' yeast and I would have left it alone. Instead, I think I killed it. :ph34r:

Any thoughts?

-Julie (mother by day---bread killer by night) :rolleyes:

:D Julie, my dear....

You may have killed the yeast by using the hot water--it's best to use lukewarm water. Too hot will kill it--too cold and it won't "work". Also, check the date of the yeast and make sure it's fresh.

You'll get the hang of it--breads are tricky ;):)

You want the water to be about 100 degrees, and mostly just leave the yeast to grow.

Sorry, I meant to say 110 degrees.

The trick my mom taught me with yeast growing up, is if you stick your finger in the liquid and can just stand it, its perfect. If you want to pull your finger out, its too hot. Or you could use a thermometer....:P

Did you remember to put 1 - 2 tsp sugar in the "warm" water?

I once forgot and the yeast didn't "start" (froth).

The yeast requires something to activate it (sugar is what most use).

Wow ladies! What good tips :)

Well, I really messed up...

I thought if a little heat is good at making yeast froth,

then...

A lot of heat must be extra good...I thought I'd have the fluffiest

yeast bread around. :huh:<_<

Looking back, I suppose my logic was a little juvenile. :rolleyes:

So, for any of you reading this, don't expect yeast to froth at 140 degrees.

THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

My mother has been coming up and making my bread for me on weekends. She's cutting me off 3 months from today (that's the day I'm gtting married). I am taking very detailed notes from you ladies as mom's not being very forthcoming with her yeast frothing/bread making abilities. How dare a non gluten-free person hoard such valuable information!

You guys are a riot! :D Munkee, for your benifit, please don't copy anything I do in the kitchen! I am simply here for comic relief. :rolleyes: You'll gradually learn from the experts on cooking on this site. Glad my dead yeast could be of assistance. ;) -Julie

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
