Most of my bread recipes (in fact, I think all that I regularly use) call for at least one teaspoon of cider vinegar. I think I would put it in even if the recipe didn't call for it :P

The bread recipe that I make calls for rice vinegar and I have sometimes used apple cider vinegar in it too. I think the recipe turns out really good, but I have only made a couple of different recipes and they have all had vinegar in them, so I guess I have nothing to compare it to.

We make Gluten Free Pantry French Bread and Pizza using the 1 tsp of cider vinegar called for by the recipes that used to be enclosed in the box. Great results, but we haven't tried any other type of vinegar with it.

Ditto--I've been making this bread regularly for years now, always use the cider vinegar.

Maybe I will try next time..

What does it do with the bread?

I have never tried it before.

How much would you add if you use 2 lbs flour?

I've been experimenting with this lately. Thus far, I find the addition of an acid doesn't seem to do much. At least not for the types of flours I'm using. Perhaps a slight difference in taste though. I think it is supposed to help the yeast multiply faster, and perhaps some dough conditioning.

As for how much to use, I've found that using more than about 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar per cup of flour tends to inhibit the yeast, requiring a longer rise time.

It depends on the flour, since not all flours weigh the same per given volume. However, many are in the range of 3-4 cups per pound. I'd think it best to measure the volume, not the weight.

On the other hand, if you are using instant/quick/bread machine yeast, you should probably omit additional acids, since those types of yeast generally have ascorbic acid already added, in the optimal amount to aid the yeast.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Stephanie Wakeman, Get your vitamind D blood level checked and supplement to raise to around 80 ng/dl or 200 nmol/L.  This is the natural upper limit and provides the best immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system, and low levels may impair the immune system's ability to control allergic responses.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to an increased risk of developing allergies and experiencing more severe allergic reactions.  Vitamin D is one of many vitamin deficiencies caused by small intestine damage so unless you get enough sunlight or taking large doses of vitamin D, you will be deficient.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m frustrated with celiac disease and my current gastroenterologist (GI). I’ve been gluten free for almost 13 years, with normal antibodies for almost 8 years - except for one excursion of my DGP IgA 5 years ago which returned to normal when I changed brands of gluten free flour. All 4 celiac antibodies were positive 13 years ago but I didn’t have an endoscopy for reasons unrelated to celiac disease.  I did have one 9 years ago. The DGP IgA was still slightly elevated, GI saw some blunted villi visually, biopsy showed “patchy mild increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes” and “focal mild villous blunting” (Marsh 3A). For the past few years I’ve had intermittent trouble with nausea and stomach pain so my current GI suggested doing a repeat endoscopy. He saw nothing visually, but biopsy showed “focal mild intraepithelial lymphocytosis” and “minimal focal villous blunting”.  All I got was a letter from the GI and his nurse that said there were mild changes consistent with celiac disease. I sent a message to the doctor asking where I go from here but just got an answer from a nurse saying it is better, less damage than 2016 so keep following the gluten free diet. So focal is better than patchy for increased lymphocytes and minimal focal is better than focal mild villi blunting? I feel this biopsy result after 13 years deserves some discussion, but this doctor never answers messages, his nurses just give out canned responses, it takes 6 months to get an appointment, and his only suggestion for nausea and pain was more soluble fiber. I’ve read that adults may not heal completely on a gluten free diet but with normal antibodies for years I was not expecting this result. I have made an appointment with a different GI who hopefully is more communicative. Rant over. Thanks for reading.

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy as a child in the early 1960s, . which I inherited from my father's DNA. My mom tried the best she could with both of us, but in those times health and allergies were kind of brushed aside.  I grew out of it, or so we thought, but the rashes reared their ugly heads while I was in college. Keg parties (wheat & gluten in beer and youthful reckess eating led to an outbreak. To the point, I am a 65 year old and now living with full blown celiac with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters that are just beginning to receed after being gluten-free for over 2 years at least. The lesions are so unsightly that I need to stay covered. Ive been living in South Florida and would love to wear shorts but people see the sores and thing I am a leper. Ive lost a lot of weigh from  stomach cramps and frequent bowel movements. Will this ever end!
