Schar Classic White Bread Mix

Has anyone been successful in making the Schar Classic White Bread Mix in a bread machine? If so, did you follow the directions on the box exactly or modify it because my dough always seems alittle too thick for the paddle to turn and the bread never turns out right. Thanks!

I only tried it in the machine once and I just wanted to report that I had the same experience as you.

I know right?! It's crazy. I absolutely love all other schar products. Premade bread, rolls, pasta and deserts. But something is up with that recipe. It needs altered. Maybe a master chef could chime in. The problem is that with the recipe the dough is VERY thick. I use a Cuisinart convection bread maker and usually it does a great job with mixes on the gluten free setting. It always ends up with a PALE flaky white crust....

Hi,

I saw this thread now and I'd like to give you my advice for this recipe. I always use "Schar"'s flour mixtures, especially the all-purpose flour. I just love it! Wich ever recipe I want to convert in gluten-free I never fail with that flour.

When I make the Classic white bread (not only in the bread machine, but always) I ommit 3-4 tbsps from the flour mixture and I substitute it with soy flour or chickpea flour. These two flours, if added to the normal flour mixture, give softness to the final product, and keep it fresh longer.

I hope this tip will help you:)

I made the Schar's bread in a breadmaker last night (I was out of my usual Glutino Favorite Sandwich Bread mix so had to pick this up at the store). I did some stirring in the machine with a spatula a couple of times to make sure all the dry was incorporated. I was also a little heavy handed with the oil, probably closer to three tablespoons than two. 

 

It came out well, but not browned. That off-white crust was kind of unappetizing, so I dumped it out of the pan, rubbed a little butter on the top and stuck it in the convection oven at 325 degrees for about fifteen minutes. It would have been less but I hadn't anticipated the need so hadn't pre-heated the oven. 

 

After that it was lovely! It had a San Francisco sourdough consistency (and almost taste) that I have missed. I probably won't buy it regularly, it's $3 more per loaf than the Glutino, but for an every-now and then treat, sure.

 

Until I figure out the recipe, that is . . .

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.

      Many apologies for somehow changing your first name Scott!

      Mark, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful? Oklahoma/Texas neurologists have only offered me the “eat gluten free” advice and then when I ask about the hands or muscle twitching they said they just don’t know. I appreciate your great information on supplements, thank you for your help!  Scott, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful?

      It sounds like you’ve been through a challenging journey since your celiac diagnosis, especially with the unexpected neurologic symptoms like muscle twitching and hand tremors. While celiac disease is primarily known for gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to recognize that it can also manifest in non-GI ways, including neurological symptoms. Research has shown that celiac disease can sometimes be linked to conditions like gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, or even myoclonus (involuntary muscle twitching), which might explain what you’re experiencing. The fact that your symptoms have fluctuated with dietary changes suggests a possible connection, even if it’s not yet fully understood by your local neurologists. It might be worth seeking out a specialist who has experience with celiac-related neurological issues or consulting with a celiac-focused research center. In the meantime, staying strict with your gluten-free diet is a good step, as even small amounts of gluten can trigger immune responses that may contribute to these symptoms. You’re not alone in this—many with celiac report similar struggles, and connecting with online communities or support groups could provide additional insights and reassurance. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
