Buns....hamburger & Hot Dog

[wolfie]

DS has started his gluten-free diet and wants some buns for his burgers and dogs. I just eat mine without b/c the buns that I did try weren't all that great. Anyone have any favorites? I just hate to waste a bunch of money on stuff that he won't eat. I guess I could make croutons or breadcrumbs out of them if he doesn't like them.

TIA!!!

Glutino makes geat buns. Their bread and bagels are also very good. They are baked in a gluten-free facility near Montreal, and they will ship web orders to Canada and the US. You might need to use IE to get the ordering fucntion on their site to work. I have had trouble in the past with FireFox so I use IE for their site.

Thank you so much!!! I am going to place an order today!!!

I did pick up some Kinnikinnick buns at the store today for him to try, but will get these, too. He tried some Ener-G high fiber bread today that was "okay". I like it a lot, but I am going to give some others a try for him.

Hi Kim--The best hamburger rolls I tried were from Grandma Ferndons. They are fantastic, but the only drawback is their high shipping costs.

Jerseyangel is right about Grandma Ferdons. I haven't tried them yet but everyone I've met that has loves them and says they are by far the best gluten free bun out there. I'm going to splurge and order them one of these days. I just got used to paying shipping for food so I'm working up to paying overnight shipping for frozen food.

I use the bagel recipe in Bette Hagman's fast and healthy cookbook. It's like a hard roll. I really like it for sandwiches. I omit some of the sugar and I don't boil them like the book says to. They come out really well. They're a staple in our household.

Haven't tried the ones from Bette's book yet, but have found that the English Muffins from Kinikinik (sp?) are actually the same texture as regular hamburger buns. That's what I use.

I really like Kinnikinnick's cheese tapioca rice bread (toasted) as a bun substitute. Some of the gluten-free buns I've tried are bulky - too much bread for me.

Wow...thanks for all of the suggestions!!! I may go ahead and order him some from Grandma Ferdon's so that he can sample a few different kind. I won't share with him which ones are more $$! LOL!!

Good to know about the Kinnikinnick english muffins, they carry them at our local Natural Foods market.
