Why Does My Bread Have A Bump On Top?

Recommended Posts

I've made this bread several times and it's a pretty good substitute for sandwich-style bread. Very light, etc.

But every time I cook it, it has this big "bump" on top and will slightly collapse (but not too bad - the pictures were taken after it fell a little.)

Is there a way to avoid this bump?

You could try slashing the top of the loaf with a sharp blade to allow for expansion at the top rather than around the sides.

I'm sorry, but that is hilarious. You just know that there are people out there somewhere who would be trying to do that deliberately, and then giving it some sort of cutesy name and charging more $ for it. Volcano Bread !

Try baking it at a lower temperature for a longer time, like maybe knock it down 25

You could also try letting it rise less before putting it in the oven. It seems counterintuitive, but make sure it doesn't go any higher than the top of the pan at its highest point before putting it in the oven.

This time it was just under the top of the pan when I put it in the oven.

This recipe has a double-rise time, which confused me a little, since I thought the double-rise was typically for gluten bread?

Did you use a Land O Lakes recipe by any chance? I just stuck a loaf of bread in the oven that called for two rises. Open Original Shared Link I've been wanting to make it for a long while.

Of course, I have no clue what it will look like when I take it's baked. :lol:

Made this loaf today. A little on the sweet side, but has a nice texture. I do think I let mine rise a little too much, because after I put in in the oven it over flowed and the extra plopped down on the sheet I had underneath. I have a long clay bread pan I will try it in next. I may use less sugar also. I didn't follow their instrustions for the flour mix. I had some flour already mixed up without xanthan gum. So I put 1 1/2 teaspoons into the called for amount of flour. Does anyone think that was too much/little? I sort of followed the recommendation on the back of the Ener G package. It said for bread add 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons for every cup of flour.

I made this almost a month ago so am trying to recall why I didn't care that much for it. I think mine was too dense even though I let it rise twice. And I also thought it was too sweet. The only other recipes I've seen that call for two rises are from the King Arthur website.

I think the amount of xanthan gum you used would be fine. Jules' gluten-free flour has 1 tsp. xanthan gum per cup and I've seen other recipes that call for less or also call for a bit of gelatin in addition to xanthan. If the bread wasn't crumbly, the amount of xanthan gum must have been okay.

I'm still searching for that *perfect* recipe if one exists.

Bread wasn't crumbly, but way to sweet for my taste. If the boys don't like it I can make bread crumbs out of it. So not a complete waste. I'm trying to find a good bread to make finger sandwiches out of for our halloween party. I figure if my kids, and especially my husband, like it (hubby hates gluten free bread) then I can pass it off to a bunch of first graders without too much trouble. I refuse to buy Udi's for the party besides, my kids still perfer it toasted. If I can't find one I think will work, I'm boing to make brazillian cheese bread and use those. Everyone I have fed that to loves it.

I think it would make good French toast since it was too sweet for my taste even for sandwiches unless they'd be PB&J. But if your family likes it...hey, that's what counts.

Heck yeah, french toast for breakfast tomorow. Nobody else has tried it yet, but I don't think they will care for it as is. But they will be happy in the morning when I tell them I'm making french toast sticks!

What temp are you baking it at? Do you keep the dough covered while it rises? Given the darkness of the crust, it does appear that the temp is too high. You might also need to adjust the rack position within the oven.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
