Falling Bread

[nellie66]

I am having trouble with my homemade bread. The flavor is wonderful, but EVERY time I bake, the bread falls in the middle. I have decreased baking temperature and increased cooking time; helped a little. I also added more xanthum gum; again helped a little. I am getting very frustrated. I also divided the bread into two pans. It always rises beautifully then falls flat. Any suggestions would be very much welcomed! Thanks so much!

you can try removing 3 tbsp. of the liquid, that usually helps & of course smooth out the top.

I second what mamaw says. I have high humidity here and so I have the same problem with bread falling that you are describing. I reduce the liquid by 3 Tbsp and increase the cooking time by about 5 minutes and my breads have been working. Good luck.

Thank you so much for your responses! I took out the 3 T and it helped. I have since tried a new recipe AND taken out 1/2 C + 2 T of the liquid AND I HAVE REAL BREAD! WOOO WHOOO! It is amazingly soft and has the consistency of soft white bread. My daughter and I were so excited and my husband and son are actually eating it also.

Congratulation! Getting good gluten free bread IS a big deal.

I agree!!!! Please share! I've tried at least a dozen recipes. Some of them had a great taste, but all are dense, and after the first day are dry. Thanks in advance.

I promise to post the recipe! I use the computer at our local library and sometimes just pop in and out without planning - as in today. I will bring the recipe next time to share with everyone. My only problem is i add and delete every time i cook it experimenting! This week for graduation i made it into roll and they were wonderful! PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE to come back tomorrow and post it !
