Why Does My Bread Have A Bump On Top?

I've made this bread several times and it's a pretty good substitute for sandwich-style bread. Very light, etc.

But every time I cook it, it has this big "bump" on top and will slightly collapse (but not too bad - the pictures were taken after it fell a little.)

Is there a way to avoid this bump?

You could try slashing the top of the loaf with a sharp blade to allow for expansion at the top rather than around the sides.

I'm sorry, but that is hilarious. You just know that there are people out there somewhere who would be trying to do that deliberately, and then giving it some sort of cutesy name and charging more $ for it. Volcano Bread !

Try baking it at a lower temperature for a longer time, like maybe knock it down 25

You could also try letting it rise less before putting it in the oven. It seems counterintuitive, but make sure it doesn't go any higher than the top of the pan at its highest point before putting it in the oven.

This time it was just under the top of the pan when I put it in the oven.

This recipe has a double-rise time, which confused me a little, since I thought the double-rise was typically for gluten bread?

Did you use a Land O Lakes recipe by any chance? I just stuck a loaf of bread in the oven that called for two rises. Open Original Shared Link I've been wanting to make it for a long while.

Of course, I have no clue what it will look like when I take it's baked. :lol:

Made this loaf today. A little on the sweet side, but has a nice texture. I do think I let mine rise a little too much, because after I put in in the oven it over flowed and the extra plopped down on the sheet I had underneath. I have a long clay bread pan I will try it in next. I may use less sugar also. I didn't follow their instrustions for the flour mix. I had some flour already mixed up without xanthan gum. So I put 1 1/2 teaspoons into the called for amount of flour. Does anyone think that was too much/little? I sort of followed the recommendation on the back of the Ener G package. It said for bread add 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons for every cup of flour.

I made this almost a month ago so am trying to recall why I didn't care that much for it. I think mine was too dense even though I let it rise twice. And I also thought it was too sweet. The only other recipes I've seen that call for two rises are from the King Arthur website.

I think the amount of xanthan gum you used would be fine. Jules' gluten-free flour has 1 tsp. xanthan gum per cup and I've seen other recipes that call for less or also call for a bit of gelatin in addition to xanthan. If the bread wasn't crumbly, the amount of xanthan gum must have been okay.

I'm still searching for that *perfect* recipe if one exists.

Bread wasn't crumbly, but way to sweet for my taste. If the boys don't like it I can make bread crumbs out of it. So not a complete waste. I'm trying to find a good bread to make finger sandwiches out of for our halloween party. I figure if my kids, and especially my husband, like it (hubby hates gluten free bread) then I can pass it off to a bunch of first graders without too much trouble. I refuse to buy Udi's for the party besides, my kids still perfer it toasted. If I can't find one I think will work, I'm boing to make brazillian cheese bread and use those. Everyone I have fed that to loves it.

I think it would make good French toast since it was too sweet for my taste even for sandwiches unless they'd be PB&J. But if your family likes it...hey, that's what counts.

Heck yeah, french toast for breakfast tomorow. Nobody else has tried it yet, but I don't think they will care for it as is. But they will be happy in the morning when I tell them I'm making french toast sticks!

What temp are you baking it at? Do you keep the dough covered while it rises? Given the darkness of the crust, it does appear that the temp is too high. You might also need to adjust the rack position within the oven.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.
