Good thing I didn't start anything as my daughter from Denver called and is surviving finals week in grad school. After the brick I baked the other day ph34r.gif , I wouldn't want to screw up another recipe. tongue.gif

Mushroom, your French Bread is da bomb!!! I can't believe how incredibly good it is. I already ate more than I care to confess. laugh.gif I never ate that much bread before Celiac but this is the absolute best gluten free bread I've tried yet!!! And I love my new mixer as it makes it so much easier. I do remember years ago when I made bread that it took awhile to get in the swing of it and gluten free bread baking is quite different than using regular flour.

I do have a few questions:

It didn't rise quite as much as I expected but then I don't think I got the yeast as well desolved as I should have...maybe a small whisk would have helped?

I had a hard time smoothing the loaves after I shaped them the best I could. I tried my buttery fingers and am wondering if it would be easier if I had just wet my hands??? I think I need to buy French bread or baguette pans.

The bread browned a bit more than I thought so have you ever started it in a 400

The bread browned a bit more than I thought so have you ever started it in a 400° oven and then turned it down a bit to bake? Or maybe I should have raised up the oven shelf a notch.

Would the bread also make two loaves if I used 9x5x3" bread pans instead of trying to do French bread loves on a jelly roll pan (I used greased parchment paper dusted with cornmeal).

Again, thanks for the recipe!!! It's a real winner! biggrin.gif

The temperature of the water can be quite critical for the yeast. It really needs to "poof" up quite a lot from feeding on the warm sugar water. I have an instant read thermometer that I check the water temp with :lol: - all this new equipment we need. If your yeast doesn't do this, start again. You shouldn't need to whisk it in. Most gluten free breads do not rise as much as their gluten cousins (except for the last batch I told you about), but they do need to rise in a warmer place, which is why I suggested a pre-warmed oven.

For smoothing the top (admittedly difficult) use a wet spatula (you know, the flexible knife kind of spatula, not the egg slice kind - had an argument with my U.S. husband about what a "spatula" was :o )

I have never had a problem with overbrowning. You could maybe try a smidge lower temp next time. Did it overbake? If it didn't overbake you could just put some foil over it (or was it the bottom that overbrowned?)

As for other pans, just experiment and see what works.

Glad you like it, and your new mixer :D

Thanks for the clarification! Maybe the water wasn't warm enough...I do have an instant read thermometer so will use it next time. Yes, we need our new toys...ain't it fun! laugh.gif I did turn on the oven briefly to warm it before putting the bread in to rise.

Hmmm...spatula. Do you mean the rubber scraper/silicone type? Or the kind we'd use to ice a cake?

I also used a dark colored jelly roll pan to bake the bread in. Maybe I should switch to a light colored aluminum cookie sheet (keeping the parchment like I used this time). And possibly turn down the oven if it looks like it's browning too much. I did test my oven with an oven thermometer a couple of weeks ago to make sure it's correct.

This was my first experiment (not counting the brick I baked this weekend before my KitchenAid mixer) But the bread was soooo good!!! So I was pleased with my first attempt. biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

I also used a dark colored jelly roll pan to bake the bread in. I have read that the dark (black) nonstick pans get too hot for gluten free. There is a grey color that works well. Also, this bread works well in one regular loaf tin :D

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
