because I heard that it was really good and low and behold the bread fell as soon as I took it out of the oven! Have any of you experienced this? What did you do wrong and how did you fix it? I've heard that it's everything from too much liquid in a recipe, to too much rising time..

I've been experimenting with breads lately, and I have to agree with the "too much liquid" and the "too much rising time". When my bread falls, I reduce the liquid a little bit (maybe 1/4 cup) and try it again. Also, the bread should rise just barely over the top of the pan.

Another trick that can prevent falling is to take your bread immediately out of the pan and lay it on its side on a wire rack to cool. While it's cooling, switch sides every few minutes or so.

Good luck!

If it fell when you took it out of the oven, that sounds like it had just finished baking, and was still very hot. So in addition to the other suggestions, you might also try leaving it in the oven to cool slowly for a few minutes. Most ovens have a door that can be set slightly ajar, for this very purpose.

try removing 3TBSP of liquid. very simple fix for most.

I make this bread often (a version of Laurie150 on recipezaar.com). If you add 1/2 cup of any gluten-free flour (brown rice, sorghum, garfava, teff, amaranth) it should not fall.
