Don't rush things, it's perfectly OK to let yeast work overnight in the fridge. Bake your loaf (or rolls), let it cool and then try eating it. I'll wager if you do still suffer any bloating or heartburn, it will not be on the same scale
Thank you (and mintball)
The wife makes bread sometimes, but I doubt it is with good flour.
I actually take something for the reflux I get so won't take it just to see how much it hurts this time

Not me. I read his posts and think "bugger me, my life can't be all that bad". It's like reading Leonard Cohen's early lyrics

Wholegrains are almost universally agreed to be beneficial for a healthy heart, and the product's fibre content alone makes it an excellent choice.
I'm not sure that most of the time it is the fault of the carbs and more the fault of how they are processed or what is eaten with them, processed bread for instance contains lots of salt, sugar and cart loads of yeast, when people cut out starchy carbs they also cut out yeast or fats that may be preventing the body processing the carbs, can lead to the wrong thing being blamed.

Anyone who has made bread at home, whether totally by hand or with the use of a breadmaker, should notice a couple of things: 1) the bread will last no more than one day. 2) Eating home-baked bread will leave you satisfied without feeling bloated. The Chorleywood process uses massive amounts of yeast, compared to artisanal breadmaking, this yeast then continues to ferment in our gut. This is what leads to feeling bloated and soon afterwards, feeling hungry again. Supermarket bread is also packed with fats and preservatives (often not listed because they are classed as "enhancers" rather than ingredients), this is why industrial bread can last a week and counting. Basically it's shite
I've been making some "mediterranean" breads recently, which are nothing more than strong white bread flour, a dab of salt, yeast, water and a little olive oil, and dust with semolina flour, and two things have been discovered in the "trial and error" stages...
1. Even one gram too much of dried yeast will ruin the taste and make the bread very "yeasty" to taste.
2. You bake it then you eat it, it won't wait overnight for you, I've kept dough in the fridge after its risen for one night and thats been ok but any longer and the bread that it produces is like cardboard - its best mixed, risen and baked the same afternoon - and don't bash the dough around too much for a ciabatta style bread.

I know but have you tried using live yeast? It may even be worth considering a sourdough starter.
Either way, I can't remember the last time I had sliced bread that tasted anything like "yeasty", despite their own admitted tendency to top-load with yeast. I can only assume that some of the "enhancers" help to mask the flavour of yeast

I've been looking at sourdough making, its certainly not instant

Cuts to tax credits don't affect the unemployed - sounds obvious but IDS is being reminded of this salient fact by some media writers this week in the run up to the debate on his plans on Thursday - its all about accentuating the negative via the printed news media and hoping that no-one thinks it through properly.
