Tip I Found Regarding Bread Rising

I have tried many many bread recipes over the last few weeks and ALL have turned out disasters. Not one of them rised like they should have and they were basically all blobs of hot dough in the end.

I found a tip from someone that they blend the dough (hand mixer) for 4 minutes after it's all mixed together. I tried it this time.....it wasn't easy, but my bread is in the oven and it has risen up to the top of the pan!!! When mixing, it will climb up the mixer and I was constantly pushing it down with my finger, but it looks like it has worked! Let's just hope my mix up with potato starch/flour doesn't ruin my loaf :)

Thanks for the hint. I have been having the problem with my bread not rising too. Last time I mixed it for longer by chance and it did rise better. I thought it was because I added more liquid, but now I will try mixing it for longer again. I was getting tired of eating that dense bread.

Another thing to try when making bread is to not let it rise too long. Many recipes call for rising time up to 45 minutes. The makeup of gluten-free bread is different, so many bakers will tell you that 10-20 minutes is all you need. I never let mine go more than 20. Also, make sure your yeast water is the right temperature. I didn't realize until I bought a candy thermometer and tested it in my water one day that I was overheating my yeast (probably why my bread didn't get big enough!). Hope your bread turned out great!

I have been working on rise in my bread for 6 months. I have bought professional yeast. (Not sure it is much different) I freeze my yeast to keep it fresh.

I do let my bread rise for 70 - 75 min. That is how long it takes to get to the top of the pan. When I let it rise for less time, no rise. but that is just me.

I have been having difficulty with it falling after i remove it from the oven. How heart breaking. I believe that is a liquid to baking time ratio and have been adjusting with some success.

I think I will take the suggestion on water temperature and buy a candy thermometer.

When I bake bread, I put the ingredients together in my kitchenaid and let 'er rip for 4 min. on high. I burned up my hand mixer doing this. I don't let it rise as long as reg bread - I'v found gluten-free bread can fall if you let it rise to long. And don't forget to use xanthan gum.

I do the same thing with my mixer. I totally burned out my hand mixer on gluten-free bread too :)

If you get a thermometer, get the kind that is for quick checking...I forgot the name, sorry...you can stick it in water, bread, turkey, ham, etc.

Description: its the length of a pen and its pointed on one end and has a round dial on the other end the size of a watch face. Made of metal. It could be called "fast" or "quick read" thermometer. I use it for everything.

Hey, thanks! How silly am I? I have that. I was thinking the big glass one. I can be so silly! I am off to try yet again for the best bread ever. Today I will try a shorter rise and hope for rise while it cooks. Yesterdays fell in the middle while cooking. Go figure.

I let it rise for one hour and then it rises more while it cooks (thank goodness!)

Here's yet another method, lol.

I beat my bread on high for 3 1/2 minutes (I got that from Bette Hagman). I also preheat the oven to 200 degrees while I'm making the bread. I put the pan in the oven and turn the oven off. It takes 15-20 minutes for the bread to get almost to the top of the pan. Then I turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes.

I was recently having some trouble with sinking bread. I had tried to get the bottle of yeast and was keeping it in the refrigerator, as directed. I switched back to the packets and was good to go again. I've also had it fall when it rose to much in the oven.

I went to a gluten-free cooking demo this past weekend, and the guy there said he heats up a pan of water in a glass dish in his microwave, then puts the bread on a rack over the water and leaves it in there until it rises. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a good idea.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
