Falling Bread

:( 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.

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. :)

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
