I am looking for a really good bread to enjoy with a meal, while everyone is eating their bread, over the holidays. I have tried a lot of bread but have yet to find one that I can pull out of the oven crusty on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. Oh, I would really like it if it didn't fall apart too. Maybe I am just asking to much?

Has anyone had such a gluten-free bread? I would be forever grateful if you could share the name of the bread with me!

Thank you thank you.

hmm, so you are looking not for a sandwich bread so much? kinnikinnick makes these really great english muffins (thicker than real ones). i use them as my sub for "rolls" at holiday/family dinners with butter and jam. you can toast them in the oven. we also like to toast them on the grill with burgers etc. chebe also has great bread mixes you could try--you could make quite a few variations from the mixes they have available. i also like some of the manna from anna mixes too. they have a pretty good soft bread texture--not spongey like many gluten-free breads.

My new favorite is the bread that Whole Foods makes... The brand is The Gluten-Free Bakehouse, so far, I would have to say their bread is the closest I have found to "real" bread.... My personal favorite is the sundried tomato and roasted garlic bread....

Good Luck!

Another good bread is from Whole Foods Gluten Free Bakery--the cinnamon raisin bread. It is great toasted.

If you want to make your own, the 'Homemade Wonderful gluten-free Bread' mix by Bob's Red Mill is very good. Turns out a great loaf of white bread. Texture is terrific - it's a little heavier than flour bread but it's soft in the middle with a crust, (hey, like bread!) and it doesn't fall apart or crumble so you can make sandwiches no problem, and toasted it is lovely. I just make mine in a mixer and the oven, very easy.

Glutano Corn Bread is really good. I took 2 frozen slices, wrapped them in a paper towel and nuked them for 30 seconds. They came out feeling FRESH and SOFT! I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on them. Yum. :)

I went without bread for 3 months because of the yucky breads I had tried that didn't even resemble real bread! Then I discovered Breads from Anna and it is wonderful! She makes a wonderful bread mix. I ate 3 slices as soon as it came out of the oven.

I just started making Bette Hagman's Four Bean Flour breads. Wow, this is the closest thing to real bread that I have yet to see and taste. If you can bake your own breads, give her cookbooks a try.

hi,

I just bought the book"the best Gluten-Free" Donna Washburn

she has a recipe for raisin cinnamon bread , unbelievable, awesome,

my family felt it was better than the gluten version in stores.

I played with it just a little changed a few flours for my preference and added a little vanilla,

It was high, not crumbly, moist , tender flavorfull, nice crust , need I say more ,lol

I have made several diffrent recipes for breads this was by far my favorite, with the other being a white bread that uses some almond flour . that one was bery good too.

this one recipe paid for the book . It is that good.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
