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

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
