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.

THANK YOU!!! Now, that is what bread is supposed to look like. I'll give the recipe a try this week. :)

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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
