Baking Times

Does anyone know why the baking times for things made with gluten-free flours are less than what the recipes say. On average, when I "convert" a recipe by substituting Bob's Red Mill gluten-free All-Purpose Flour for regular floor, I have to watch carefully and usually reduce the time by 10 minutes. My oven is spot on, so I'm sure it's not an oven issue. I don't mind being more careful and checking to see if things are done more often.......just curious if anyone else has found this to be true. Thanks. (Got brownies cooling as I type this.) :)

I use the time stated in a recipe when I convert it. I don't usually have any problems.

I find it works best to set my oven 25

There is a warning on the dark-coloured nonstick pans that you need to reduce baking time or temperature.

A lot of gluten free flour substitutes such as seed or nut meals need to cook at either a lower temperature or they will burn if you go the full recommended time.

This is common with a lot of the loaf breads. Have to do them slower, with maybe the oven turned down to 25

Thanks guys! I'll try setting the oven 25* lower next time. :)

Yes, I've found baking times vary. A lot of factors can cause problems in baking, things like altitude, weather, humidity, the type of baking pan you use ---glass or metal. The best thing I found is to experiment. My next best trick is I always insert a toothpick to test for doneness. If it comes out with batter, I keep cooking a few minutes more until the inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Best of luck in your cooking!

Angie.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
