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!

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
