Bread, Toast, Biscuits and PB & J

[Ginger38]

I really really miss buttered toast with jelly, Bread and butter, biscuits and PB & J sandwiches. Does anyone have any suggestions for any of these??

I like either Canyon Bakehouse or Udi'd for already made white bread. Both do have multigrain varities also but I grew up in the pasty white bread era. Canyon Bakehouse also makes a good cinnamon raisen bread that I like for breakfast.  I think most jellies and jams are gluten free but I use either Wegmans or Smuckers. Pamelas Baking mix makes pretty good biscuits, muffins and cookies but check and make sure there isn't any ingredients you need to avoid as it is almond flour with others and has a leavening agent. I like all these brands because they don't have soy. Although that may not be an issue for you. You may also want to check out Grainless Baker. They use tapioca flour and I think I have become addicted to their rolls. They make a french bread style bagutte (sp?) that is great for sub style sandwiches.

So did you like the breads first try or did you have to acquire a taste for them? It seems I've tried lots of gluten-free breads and none I have just been like wow that's good and worth $6 a loaf or that I can eat within 5 days if opening 🙄 i  will have to try the biscuits and the other you mentioned, thanks!

I use Fritz Gluten Free bread which is available here at Costco in 2 loaf packages. It's whole grain and tastes great.

Fratz  (west coast) has great bread. 
Canyon House bread and bagels are delicious too!  Guess it depends on tastes and textures you like.  
Chick-Fil-A  has an awesome hamburger bun too!

I use Canyon brand it's great, taste delish and is high fiber protein and seeds

I think you mistyped. It’s Franz, not Fratz. It’s my favorite. Canyon House is good too but their loaf bread slices are diminuitive.

Their Heritage style is about normal size.

My problem with most gluten-free bread is texture. They tend to turn to glue. Could some company slice the bread thin, sort of like half thick as usual? I would love that.

I have been gluten-free for 15 years, and I still don't like a lot of the stuff they feed us. You just have to find what you can live with.

The problem with that is that gluten-free bread doesn't hold together well enough to permit thin slicing. But try Canyon House Bakery's gluten-free bread products. They are smaller and thinner than most.

Agree, Cannon House is good.  Bagels are great too!  If you live on West coast, you have some other brands that are great also.

Refrigerate both and they will last longer.  I freeze bagels and pull out the night before.

I am seeing that as I go along … some things like crackers don’t seem to ever be in my future again

Did you mean "Canyon House?" You typed "Cannon House." Or, maybe there is a Cannon House?

[Wheatwacked]

Canyon House Heritage Style Honey White is my favorite for a sandwich. Keep it in the freezer and defrost only the slices you need. About 15 minutes to defrost a slice on the counter or nuke it for 30 seconds if your Lithium is low and you are impatient.  Toasted the texture reminds me of rye bread.

Crackers - Lance gluten free original taste like a ritz cracker mini.  Glutino Gluten Free Crackers taste like zesta saltines.  So far, only two found that I like.

Unfortunately, Lance is not making the gluten free originals right now due to an employee shortage.  Or at least that is what they told me.🥲 Wish Ritz would make them too!

I enjoy Glutino's crackers. They remind me of matza.

The crackers I really like, as opposed to tolerate, are the Schaar ones. The Table Crackers are like real plain crackers and the Entertainment Crackers are like slightly smaller Ritz crackers. I order them. We don't have much available here, either.

Yes I have tried those. I don’t care for the entertainment crackers other than to bake with … they taste weird to me idk why. The table crackers I use for tuna and soup but they crumble so not good for much else lol. Ordering gets expensive and it’s almost always in bulk 🤦🏼‍♀️
