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.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
