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.

Best Regards,

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.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?
