How do I make brown rice bread rise without any wheat flour?

How do I make brown rice bread rise without any wheat flour? - Baguette Breads

My brown rice bread is not rising and I do not know if I am doing something wrong or if yeast does not work with brown rice flour.

I baked brown rice bread in the following way:

  • 600 g brown rice flour
  • 100 g Chuño
  • Whole yeast block
  • 100 g flax

Any tips on how to make it rise without any wheat or other gluten products?

(I cannot eat any gluten, so I need a 100% gluten-free solution.)



Best Answer

I have been making a gluten free yogurt bread with the brown rice flour and haven't had any problems. You are going to need xanthan gum with any kind of gluten free mix you need.

With the other gluten free bread recipes I have in my book, they are all calling for a tsp of vinegar in addition to the dry yeast. Not sure if that helps with the rising, but my recipes have all come out exactly like the book says and haven't had a problem with them not rising. I just turn my stand mixer on HIGH and don't worry about kneading the bread.

How do you make brown rice flour rise?

Remember that rice flour does not rise as well as gluten-containing flours, so you may need to add extra leavening agents or use a smaller pan size. When baking yeast breads using rice flour, add a little vinegar or ascorbic acid to help it rise \u2013 use 1 teaspoon vinegar per 4 cups flour or \xbc teaspoon ascorbic acid.

How do you make brown bread rise?

Punch down the dough loaves and allow one more rise. After three hours, place in an oven preheated to 520 degrees F (yes\u2013this is very hot). After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 470 for 20 minutes. For 15 more minutes, open the oven door a crack, which allows moisture to escape and facilitates crust formation.

How do you make bread rise without gluten?

An easy way to create a good environment for gluten-free bread to rise is to turn your oven to 200 F; when it reaches this temperature, turn off the oven and place a shallow baking pan partially filled with hot water on one of the shelves.

How do I substitute brown rice flour for wheat flour?

Use a 3/4 to one percentage when replacing rice flour for wheat flour. Increase 2 tsp. of xanthan gum for each cup of rice flour used for the cooking process that needs gluten, like bread or cakes. Brown rice flour can be replaced by common wheat flours in few arrangements, particularly paste thickeners such as roux.

Answer 2

I think that AtlasRN has a very good point. Not the vinegar, the pH of dough is OK for yeast and it creates their own acid anyway, but the stand mixer.

Leavened gluten-free breads are very new, and are always made with xanthan (or other stabilizer) and a mixer. Xanthan works differently from gluten. It is more of an emulsifier, not an elastic protein like gluten. So it needs good aeration, and the big air bubbles of the yeast probably just escape into the air. On the other hand, a mixer forces air into the dough (batter?) and these small bubbles stay there, bound to the batter by the xanthan. Actually, whipping air into the dough works with wheat based dough too, there was a pizza lab article on that. But in a gluten-free bread, it is probably the only way to aerate.

Xanthan gum is commonly used in many foods, and it should be available around the world. It isn't used much in home cooking, so you can't get it at the supermarket. It should be possible to buy it over the Internet, or offline at a restaurant supply store or at a health food store. If you can't find xanthan, take guar, they are practically interchangeable. I don't know which one is easier to find, but my local health food store has guar and no xanthan.

Both xanthan and guar are used in very small quantities, so don't worry if it looks expensive. You can buy a kilogram, and store it in a dry place for months. It will be enough for hundreds of loaves of bread, so it should be a good investition even if you have to order online from a foreign site and pay international shipping and import tax.

The important part is to combine xanthan and an electrical mixer. A fork won't force the amount of air needed into the dough. You don't need an expensive stand mixer, a small hand held mixer should work fine. If you don't have one, you can try using a whisk and whipping vigorously, as you would egg whites, but I think that it will take a very long time and be very hard, because the batter will be much heavier than egg whites. A mixer will make it easy.
