What Is The Best Pre-made Gluten Free Bread?

I have tried Kinnickinik and Energy Pre-Made bread but haven't found them to be excellent. I'm looking for a white squishy bread like Wonder or Aunt Millie's potatoe bread. Has anyone tried a gluten-free bread that is outstanding? I'm very picky and would rather do without than settle. I'm also allergic to corn and soy.

Not entirely premade, but Breads by Anna has mixes that are free of corn, rice and soy as well as dairy, gluten, and even yeast if you want. I get the yeast-free one, and it's surprisingly good. Since it doesn't have to rise, you just mix it up and pop it in the oven for 70 minutes. It's more of a whole-grain flavor than a white bread flavor, but it's yummy and the texture is nice and soft (squishy even!) when it's reasonably fresh.

I am curious too. I love white bread and I am just not finding a substitute. I tried Annas made directly from her and didn't like the after taste. But I am a white bread eater and that is probably why. I am sure it is delicious to those who like the darker heavier tasting breads. If you find one please post it. I would love to eat bread again.

whole foods gluten-free bakery makes a decent bread...i use the sandwich bread all the time (the white bread)...i have found that if you keep it in the fridge it stays good for like a month, whereas the pantry only keeps it good for a few days <_< ...so then i nuke the bread for a few seconds to get it soft again, or i toast it in the toaster oven. i think its pretty good in the way of premade bread...its just pricey...but what isnt thats gluten-free? <_<

How does Anna's yeast free bread compare with Kinnickinik yeast free bread mix which was so much better than the Ener-g yeast free pre-made bread (can you say styrofoam?).

Whole Foods Garlic & Sun Dried Tomato bread is the best I know of. However, I am not sure if it has soy.

My favorite bread i have ever tried is Whole Food Gluten-Free Bakehouse Sandwich Bread.

They sell it at Whole Foods in a little section within the actual bakery. This by far is the best bread i have ever had and it is very good. My family (non-celiacs) eat it all the time and they like it very much as well, so it can't be that bad, right?

Give it a try!

Do you need a bread machine to make Anna's? I have heard people rave about this bread but I don't want to get a bread machine just yet.

Not for the yeast-free one; I just mix it up with a mixer and pop it in the oven. I imagine that the yeast mix doesn't *require* a bread maker, but it would make it less work.

I've never tried Kinnickinik's mix, so I can't say how they compare. But I have tried the Ener-g, and I took one bite and threw the rest in the trash - BLECH!!! Anna's yeast-free has a better texure than I ever imagined a yeast-free bread could have; my only complaint is that it gets kind of dry and crumbly after 4 or 5 days. But it's *wonderful* when it's fresh! (One of these days I'm going to try slicing and freezing it to see how it holds up in the freezer...)

I remember why I can't do Anna's - chickpea flour. I have problems with most beans and chickpea is one of them. Darn...

Ener-g Tapioca Light. The regular tapioca isn't very good. But the "light" is awesome. No toasting needed. It tastes like glutened sandwich white bread. Also, they have a seattle brown bread. But it was so moist it fell apart. I can't find the light in stores, but they sell it online. Very good. I have hated every other kind I have tried.

The Kinnickinnik rice/tapioca cheese bread is good. I discovered the secret was to take it out of the fridge and pop it in the toaster oven for a few minutes and it becomes soft.

Am I the only one that doesn't miss bread :huh:

I've tried some for the hell of it, but I find that I didn't really eat it anyway. I hate sandwiches! :blink:

And I'm pretty, erm, cheap :P

Five bucks for a loaf of bread I could build a house with isn't really something that helps me seperate my money from my wallet...

I don't much miss bread either. There's nothing that's quite the same to me, and there's nothing that I can't adapt around. (And I'm not cheap when it comes to food... so my bill from Whole Foods last night proves. :-P )

I actually really love the Food For Life Brown Rice bread. Its not totally the same as bread but I actually like it better as toast with butter. I find that its the easiest and fastest quick breakfast for me as i am running out the door for work. I have not tried it as a sandwich bread, but like it for toast. In fact, I might even eat it if I didnt have celiac disease.

I tried Ener-g's Harvest Loaf and it was pretty good as far as being a bit tastier than the cardboard they try to pass for bread. I've tried the ones from the Whold Foods Market and on our income, I can't pay that much for bread that will spoil in a few days. Right now i'm buying Bob's gluten-free Sandwich Bread Mix and I have to say that it's the closest to regular bread I can find. It's not really the squishyness of the bread that I want. I WANT A REGULAR SIZED SANDWICH NOT A HORS D' OVERS!!!!!!!

I didn't do Anna's yeast-free...so it may be different. But when I used her regular--it turned out great. Has a soft, fluffy texture--best I've seen so far. I do stick with Kinnikinnick out of simplicity though. I usually toast the bread before I make my sandwiches too.

I have to go with Kinnickinik here, ive tried a few other ones that just fall apart. What I love to do with the bread if Im at home I make a melt out of it. Either turkey or ham, and I butter the bread a little bit toast it in a frying pan, then throw on the turkey and cheese....let them all warm up and throw on ur toppings and u can even tell the difference that your eating a gluten-free sandwich. yum!

I don't really miss bread now after 2 years, but it was really hard the first several months for me after going gluten free- I craved bread and pizza with a thick crust like a crazy woman. I do like the Food For Life breads best out of everything that I have tried, but I just don't have it very often because I don't do well with so many of the substitute flours and ingredients, so I found it's better for me to just go without the bread. I am perfectly content with my Food For Life Rice Tortillas as a bread substitute for when I want sandwiches.

I love the Kinnickinnik bread. I eat several sandwiches a week. It also is firm enough to dip in egg and fry for various types of sandwiches. Not that I am going to dip any in egg for a long time since I ate that Easter egg and got so sick.

This bread was not premade, but I haven't found a good premade one yet. It's Cause you're special brand. It was sooooo soft and squishy. I didn't make it in the bread machine, I just used my mixer. I ordered it from glutefreegourment.com It's as close to Wonder Bread as I've found. My husband even ate it and liked it and he was a white bread only kinda guy.

you are SO funny!! And by the way FIVE bucks?? Bargain...The gluten-free breads from Whole Paycheck are $8.50 here in California. And when I toasted them, two or three different varieties, they just crumbled. 'Twas a sad day, but not as sad as when I shelled out almost $9 for a double-pack of pizza crusts at same spot....they were like frisbees, only heavier and more lethal, and developed mold before I could use them..... :angry:

I always hated sandwiches too, and then suddenly not only crave them but dream about them....*sigh*

Anywho the only tolerable bread I have found is Food for Life Brown Rice Bread. But lest you get your hopes up for a slice of dreamy gluten-y fluff, the texture of it is like a bagel. Once I was prepared for that I was okay.

Whole Paycheck! I love it!

I think if I ever want bread, I'll make it myself. Then at least I'll feel defeated, but not totally cheated as if I bought the lead styrofoam... <_< When I was first dx'ed, I made the joke that gluten-free food fell into one of two categories: styrofoam or cardboard. So far, I wasn't that far off :P

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
