Cold Kitchen And Bread Won't Rise

What am I doing wrong with my bread? No matter the recipe, I can't get it to rise. My regular bread is 3 inches thick, and french bread looks like thick pancakes. My kitchen is always cool, but I've tried putting the pans between stove burners, into the oven on warm, and nothing seems to help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I'm at 6000 ft elevation, if that has any bearing on the issue. thanks to all

Maybe your yeast is not good....Every once in a while I proof my yeast to check it out....I put 1 tsp dry yeast in a glass of warm water with a little sugar and let it set a while, like maybe 10 min...if it gets foamy on top the yeast is good...if it doesn't you need new yeast....I don't know anything about the elevation issue...

a few things - are you using gluten-free recipes, or just substituting gluten-free flours in your old recipes? Have you tried a different package of yeast? Finally, you can try turning your oven on for 1 or 2 minutes and turning it off again, and then putting your bread in there to rise.

You might be able to put your bread pan on a heating pad set to low, or put the pan over a bowl of hot water. Try setting it on top of the dryer while you run it. And definitely check your yeast - if it's too old or dead it just won't grow.

I've used two different yeasts, both supposedly new, but I'll check them. Always gluten-free recipes

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
