Making Bread

My mom bought me The Gluten Free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg. I have made the Applesauce Quick Bread. The first batch was very gummy and very weird tasting. The second bacth was still weird tasting but was not as gummy I have not bought a new toaster yet so I grilled it with butter and it was ok I put some jam on it and it was kinda like french toast. Today I tried the All Purpose Loaf. It was described as comparable to a heavier white bread plain but pleasant. It was discusting and gummy. I threw it in the trash after one taste. I need to use receipies that don't have rice in them so was thinking the potato starch and cornstarch would work for me. Anybody got an idea what I did wrong. I followed the directions to the letter and did the toothpick test. It came out clean. When I did the first batch of Applesauce bread the same thing happened on the second one I cooked it for 10 extra minutes. It calls for milk, yeast, potato starch , cornstarch, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, honey, oil.

Mixing well enough but this stuff doesn't rise according to the directions. You make it and pop it in the oven. It didn't get any bigger I did notice that. The crust was done but the inside was gummy.

It does have yeast in it right? I would think letting it rise in a warm place would help the gummy middle!

Yes it had both yeast and baking powder. I will give letting it rise a try. I considered myself a pretty good cook and an excellent baker until I started working with this stuff.

Thanks,

I have tried only one recp. so far and it flopped but I"m going to try her potato bread looks yummy and I have to buy more flours .

None of the breads r looking like real bread so don't give up hope and they don't even come close to the taste, but if I find one that does I will sure pass it along to ya :)

I never tried the GFP bread mixes, but try the Anna's bread mixes. They are really great. You can find them at Wild Oats or on her site, which is Gluten Evolution. You don't need the bread machine for her specialty mixes like the banana or pumpkin breads. Only the "regular" bread, like you would use for a sandwich.

I make the regular GFP Favorite Sandwich Bread mix in my oven in a loaf pan and it turns out so consistently great that I got bored and went on to other mixes. I have nothing but admiration for you guys that can do the bread from scratch. I'm working up to it. :-)

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ryangf! If you don't have celiac disease you could still have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Some experts feel NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis of NCGS is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease by formal testing. At the end of the day the antidote for both is the same, namely, life-long abstinence from gluten. Yes, corn is a common cross-reactor with gluten for some celiacs. So are oats, soy, eggs and dairy.  I have concern with your possible exposure to wheat flour dust during your culinary training. It gets in the air, you breathe it in, it gets trapped in the mucous of your mouth and airway and winds up in your gut. If you decide to go forward wit the "gluten challenge" for formal celiac disease testing, aim for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for four weeks leading up to the day of either the blood draw or the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.
