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. :)

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
