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.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.
