I use a gluten free flour blend that is high in fiber, but it is very white. So when I make bread people think it is loaf. I make lots of bread every week for 5 families because they don

It's not a stupid question at all. It's just that the word "loaf" refers to the shape of the bread, not the color so I thought maybe you intended to use another word but I couldn't imagine what it could be. It was the wording that was confusing to me, not the subject. It's understandable that people can have feelings about things being a certain color, texture etc.

I don't use any recipe.. I just mix what I have until I get the right texture ;)

About the spelling: In norwegian we say "loff" to a white bread and "kneip" to a darker bread. So thats why I thought that Loaf must be the same as loff.

What do you call a white bread in english?

Now, I understand.

I just call it "white bread" :lol: and a darker bread "whole grain bread".

Please don't feel that I was picking on your English. My own husband is a non-native speaker. I just wanted to understand so that I could offer the best help.

I agree with others, your bread looks very good!

I do know what people mean by liking a dark bread, I do as well. I make a Flax Bread that looks dark like whole wheat bread, and has that texture as well. Perhaps if you add 1/4 cup flax seed meal, you will get the results you want. If you would like the recipe I could give post.

To darken the bread add Buckwheat flour or dark teff + Black Strap Molasses instead of sugar.

Presume the 'Husk' is Psyllium husk for added fibre.

David

I have tried several things the last weeks. I have tried adding teff flour but then the bread did not look good.

I have told them :)

I have decided not to change my "original" recipe but I have created a new recipe using cocoa and millet. They really like it. I will take some pictures tomorrow.

I need to make 12 bread :)

I think it looks good. I hope I one day can eat them!

I have made maybe 200 bread of this type but I have never tasted them because I need to do SCD ;)

Bette Hagman uses a Rye flavor powder to make gluten free rye bread. That might help.

It doesn't seem to be commonly available though. She lists her supplier as Authentic Foods in California but I don't know if it is sold anywhere else.

The color of buckwheat flour depends greatly on how it is milled. Most brands in the USA are very light in color, often off-white to beige in shade, or similar to white rice flour. Brown teff could be a good choice, though the flavor may be another matter to consider, depending upon how dark you want the bread to be. Add some caraway seed and it can be reminiscent of "rye" bread. Brown rice flour is another, but personally I've found rice flours to be gritty compared to all other gluten-free flours. Nut meal such as almond will not only darken the bread, but add a nutty, more hardy flavor.

<EDIT>

Didn't see your latest posts. Looks like your customers didn't want as dark a bread as a "whole grain" or rustic type of bread. You may therefore want to try ivory teff, as it has a light brown/tan color. It also imparts a nice aroma IMO. Amaranth also gives a nice flavor and aroma, and helps more with browning in the oven.

Some additional ideas I thought of:

1) Try dark roast carob powder instead of cocoa, as it is not bitter.

2) Try mesquite flour, which has a wonderful aroma and flavor. It has a color and flavor similar to mocha, cocoa and cinnamon combined.

3) Some bean flours can add a nice color. Black bean flour is one of the darkest I am aware of, though I've not tried it. Bean flours can also provide a nice texture, plus greater nutritional value than most other flours.

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
