Bread tips #1

When fluffy bread collapses when you are baking with yeast: Most gf breads require more yeast and water than their non-gf counterparts. As such the yeast rises higher and can not support the weight of the water content in the bread. If the bread is collapsing in on itself or shrinking it most likely needs to rise for less time and have a bit less water in it.
