Ener-g Tapioca Bread


Racheleona

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I got the Tapioca light bread from ener-g, and was surprised when I first opened it and made a pb&j sandwich, that it tasted like white bread, and wasn't as heavy as a brick! But, the next day when I tried toasting it, it absolutely wouldn't toast, and tasted like cardboard. It tasted better the previous day not heated or anything. So then I tried making a sandwich after heating the bread in the microwave, and it tasted a lot like tapioca or I don't know exactly what but had an odd taste and was all crumbly. Has anyone else experienced this bread only tasting good the day you opened the bread?? And also the problem with getting it to toast? Maybe it's only the new light bread's they sell. That sucks that I only get one good sandwich out of the whole loaf for 5 bucks! Thanks for your input...

Rachel

This is so my experience not only with store bough gluten-free breads but I've been making bread with various mixes and every single time, they come out of the oven light and tasting good and the next day well its awful.

I made gluten-free Pantry bread last weekend with a recipe I was told to divide the dough in half and ball it up and cook two small loves in a cake pan. well it spread out so it was shaped like a cake but out of the oven it was great (i put parmasen cheese and herbs in it).

the next day the other cake dish loaf was so hard we took it out in the yard and used it as a discus. It was like a rock, the darn dog wouldn't even eat it. I don't know whats up with that but I too only get one day with the bread.

I went to the Celiac Conference at Stanford last month. They had a bread there from a company named I can eat that an e-mail address of icaneatthat@comcast.net that tasted just like regular bread. They also had pizza dough. I e-mailed them and they wrote back that they are only selling in Berkely California for now but they would let me know as soon as they started selling over the internet.

There was another company there called Nina's Kitchen with an e-mail address of elliothoffman@sbcglobal.net. They had wonderful muffins.

The eger-g tapioca bread that I bought worked well as a filler, I used it in my meatloaf but agree that it didn't toast well.

I only buy breads made by Kinnikinnick. I buy directly from their website. Shipping is a flat fee of $10.00, so I buy a lot to save on shipping. Since I am feeding four in my family and I also get some for a friend who has a daughter who is gluten-free, I tend to go through a lot of bread/donuts/pizza crust anyhow.

The products are mailed frozen overnight delivery. They are thawed, but still cold when they get to you and then you put them back in the freezer.

To eat, you microwave until soft and either let it cool and make a sandwich or toast. It comes out perfect! It holds together amazingly well, and it toasts up nice and crunchy. I find it works best if you toast it on a light setting twice to get it the right toastiness, otherwise sometimes the corners burn if it is toasted too quickly. The great part about it is that it tastes great from the first day to the last, and you get to eat the whole loaf!

My kids are fans of the White Sandwich Bread and the Starlight White Grain Free Bread. My favorite is the Sunflower Flax Rice Bread. We have also tried their Robins Honey Brown Rice Bread and Candadi Yeast Free Multigrain Rice Bread, which were good, but not as well liked by my family.

We love their ready made pizza crusts. You thaw, top and bake. Easy as that and have a good taste. Light on the inside, crunchy on the outside. They are slightly sweet, but my kids and I like the taste.

We love their donuts. The Cinnamon Sugar and the Chocolate Dipped ones are the best!

Check them out at Open Original Shared Link

God bless,

Mariann

Yep, I second the Kinnickinnick (sp?). And the pizza crust is the best I've ever had (next to Papa Ginos of course <_< ). I find the bread a little waxy though, and don't care to eat it on a regular basis. Don't know if I ever tried toasting it.

As for EnerG Tapioca loaf? I have a TOASTED slice, every single day. I keep it in the freezer (I know it says NOT to, but it's the only thing that WORKS!) and take out one at a time - pop it RIGHT into the toaster from the freezer and it comes out perfectly toasted, and NOT crumbly, every single time. And unlike many other breads from the freezer, they don't stick together too much. You can usually pop them apart from each other without breaking them.

I only eat Kinnickinick, as well. I've tried a couple brands and have tried the Ener-G tapioca loaf and the rice loaf. Then I finally tried Kinnickinick since many on the board praised it...that's the bread I eat now....

As for a pizza crust, the Chebe bread mix (not pizza crust) works best as a pizza crust. You follow instructions on what to add to the mix--then rather than making it into bread balls (which are also good), you flatten it out...really good...then add a favorite tomato sauce and Kraft cheeses -- parmesean and mozzarella....

Thanks for all of your suggestions! I just thought it was wierd it tasted great the first day, and then went downhill. Also, I was surprised to find that I couldn't toast it without it turning out like cardboard. I tried the Seattle Brown loaf Ener-G makes as well today, and it almost made me sick to my stomach, I didn't like it so much. It was heavy, dense, and left a funny film in my mouth. In the description of their bread on their website they describe it as being the closest to wheat bread you'll find. Meh...I dunno....

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
