Help Baking gluten-free Bread Mixes

Hello everyone:

I am new to your forum and am ready to tear my hair out trying to bake gluten-free bread mixes. Here's the problem: Currently, I'm using the Bob's Red Mill white mix (but, I've had the same thing happen with another brand too). I started with a portable mixer and the dough would 'glom' up or crawl up the beaters and into my mixer. A real mess and I would end up not even being able to beat it the required length of time.

So, I invested in a stand mixer (as recommended), have used it twice, and the same thing happens! I am really exasperated with this. What am I doing wrong?? :huh:

I have only used The Gluten Free Pantry bread mixes. I have a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and have had no problems.

Did yours come with different attachments? If so are you using the dough hook (or which ever one you have that is suitable?)? With the stand mixer it will not climb up the beater like a hand mixer (from what I have read about the hand mixer).

How is your bread turning out? I am not familiar with the Bob's Red Mill bread mix (pretty much all have tapioca in them -- I can't have) but with The Gluten-free Pantry Mix you have to let it rise for around 30-40 minutes with plastic wrap on the top. Does your rise?

Sorry so many questions.... :)

Hello,
I have never answered a post on this forum before, so I hope that I am doing it correctly. I have a Sunbeam stand mixer with dough hooks and regular beaters. I have tried it using both sets and they both do the same thing. Actually, I have used the gluten-free Pantry Mix and it seems to do the same thing. I really prefer the gluten-free Pantry mix because you don't have to add the yeast separately and must use milk, etc, but the Bob's Red Mill was on sale, so I bought several of them.

I believe that the "Bob's" said NOT to use the dough attachments, but it didn't seem to make any difference. The bread is turning out pretty well despite the lack of beating the dough. Yes, it does have to rise with plastic on the top. It bakes just fine and has a tendency to fall a little in the middle while it is cooling. I wonder if that's because it doesn't get beaten like it should. Anyway, I just can't imagine what in the world I am doing to make this 'climb the beaters.' It sure does make a mess.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
