Bread Keeps Falling!

I am in need of some help... We have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks and I am having terrible luck with bread. Using a bread machine, I have tried a variety of bread mixes but they always fall and end up dense and "bricky". I purchased a second machine and same problem.

Pamela's seemed to do ok and it was yummy. So did Gluten Free Pantry, tho we didnt care for it.

Is this a yeast issue? Are the packets that come in the mix generally bad and need to be replaced?

Is it my machine? I currently have a Welbilt 3000, purchased at a thrift store. Works great, I think... I set it to normal/light. Put in liquid then dry then yeast in a well on top.

I also live at a high altitude - 5,500 ft

any insight is appreciated!! Thanks!

Oh me too. I've had HORRID luck.

I hope we get an answer. I've tried making two of the Bette Hagman breads and am on my second loaf today.

BLECH. I really want a grilled cheese.

My bread is not dense but it always falls or sinks in. I have been making bread in a machine since Christmas last year. There is still enough area to make sandwiches and such but it is always frustrating to see my sunken loaf!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
