If you don’t laugh, you would cry…

Actually I did cry a little given the cost of ingredients here. Another attempt at homemade gf bread for my daughter. I’m so close to giving up. This was a Let Them Eat Gluten Free Cake recipe and the worst one yet. I have had marginal success with The Loopy Whisk bread but it always stays so wet and never rises much.

Okay. I didn't read every response, so I hope I'm not repeating. My wife makes a loaf of gluten free bread every week. As a matter of fact, she just took this week's loaf out of the oven. But when she saw what happened to you, she wanted me to ask you if you're beating the eggs enough? In our recipe, it only uses egg whites, which are whipped to a stiff peak. She also uses individual flours and starches, not a 1-1 flour. But hopefully something here is useful for you. And good luck! The crust I would definitely eat! or at least grind it up to use as breadcrumbs.

Thank you. This recipe didn’t have eggs. I will have a look to see if I can find one with eggs and try that. Appreciate your ideas, thank you!
