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.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. It is well known that the B vitamin complex is vital to neurological health but so is D3. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.
