Gluten free bread

[Maryschw]

My granddaughter has celiac, and I shop for gluten-free products.  The biggest challenge has been finding good quality gluten-free bread products.  Does anyone have suggestions regarding bread products that actually taste good? I am looking for sliced bread,  buns, and bagels. Thank you for your feedback.

I too have been searching for a great gluten free bread.  The best one so far is Canyon Bakehouse and Schaefer, Artisan Baker White Bread,  but even then bot must be toasted in order for it to be good.  I have not found one yet that taste good right out of the package for a sandwich.  After researching I’m thinking of finding a good recipe and baking my own bread.  Good luck and if you find one, please share.

I have tried so many brands of gluten-free bread, Canyon Bake is good, but the thing I don’t like about any of the gluten-free breads available is that when you toast them (the only way to eat them) they all have a strange smell which makes it hard for me to eat with the exception of  the brand called Schar.  This brand is really good (also needs to be toasted).  They also make a deli bread ( for a larger sandwich) that is also very good.  They are all pretty pricey, but if it’s for health reasons you just buy it and move on.

They've been around for decades, and I've not seen any reported problems with contamination issues. They are also a sponsor here.

Hi,

I find the best bagels are from Canyon  Bakehouse.   They usually come frozen and you can get White, Everything or Cinnamon Raison.   They also have frozen very good bread and buns.

I use Udis Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns.   They are frozen, but all you need to do is defrost in the microwave and they are fine.

Lately I have been using Schar Ciabatta multigrain buns.   These are not frozen but placed in oxygen sealed bags and last a long time until you open them.   There are 4 in a package and you have to eat them over 2-3 days (store in the fridge after opening) and you cannot freeze them.   They are very good tasting (better than Canyon Bakery) and even feel like real bread.   I also by Schar's submarine type bun.   They are also excellent tasting and they come in a package of 2 and the best part is each section is separate so you can eat one and wait until the expiry date to eat the other.   I haven't tried the Schar bread as it is unfrozen and I don't think I could eat a whole loaf in a few days.

I doubt I need to tell you, but all of these options are very expensive relative to regular bread products, but those with Celiac have little choice.

One more thing, I just discovered Oreo's now have a gluten free version and they are fantastic.   I am sure your granddaughter would love them!!!

All the best!!
