Bad Recipe Or Bad Cook?

I'm searching for a good gluten-free bread recipe, because I'm starting to miss sandwiches. I tried making a corn-based version the other night and I don't know if it came out right or not. When I cut into my loaf it was a pale brown color. Very dense yet springy and spongey at the same time. It was very unpleasant. Did I do something wrong? Any advice would be much appreciated.

It's a brand of plain, unflavored gelatin.

I never thought I'd eat fluffy white bread again before this!

Are you sure? I thought it was pectin for helping jellies and jams to thicken.

In any case, don't be surprised if you have just begun baking gluten-free breads and they are nothing like what you remember. I have been doing this for over 4 years and still don't get decent bread every time - even with recipes I have successfully used before it's a crapshoot. Be prepared to keep trying, and check this board for help because a lot of us have tried many, many bread variations with different degrees of success. You can see successful loaves in my avatar, but the ones I made the time after I took that picture were a dismal failure shape-wise (but at least they made great crumbs and croutons).

Open Original Shared Link is a powdered pectin used for making jams and jellies.

Sure-Jell sounds a lot like a low-methoxyl citrus pectin I've used, called Open Original Shared Link.

I still have some too. Maybe I should try it in bread and see what it does.

My bread is made from Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Mix, the white one. I make two at a time and use a smaller pans so that I get four little loaves from each one, for a total of 8------and they last me quite some time. I bake them for 20 mintes. I have never had a flop. They are kind of expensive, but I am worth it. It smells so good when it comes from the oven. I am a carbaholic and so bread is very important to me. I still miss crunchy bread like French or Itilian, wish I could find that. Bob's Red Mill makes a great pizza crust mix too. It makes two 12" crusts and it sure is good. I am very used to the gluten-free way of life, and although I do miss some things, it just doesn't bother me that much anymore.

Hi Eeyore,

Do you know if it is necessary to use the 1/4 cup of brown sugar as listed in the wet ingredients? I was thinking that would make a sweet bread - which I don't want.

You can likely leave out the sugar. Some yeast bread recipes use a pinch of sugar to get the yeast started, but even that isn't totally necessary.

Here is a good link- for french bread- I like this recipe and it's really easy. She just put up a sandwich loaf, too, I think I will try tomorrow.

Sticky rice flour? Is that sweet rice flour?

Open Original Shared Link is what is being referred to, I think.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
