gluten-free Bread

[par18]

A common complaint I notice from time to time is the lack of a bread you can buy which comes close to the same flavor/texture as traditional bread. Recently my wife brought home some bread by "Glutino". It is made in Quebec, Canada. The reason I don't think we bought it before was because of the name on the package. It said Corn Bread. The only thing in it that relates to corn is corn starch. It looks like white sandwich bread and has the texture and flavor of sourdough when toasted. It is light in weight. I think the name is what throws some people off. I called them and mentioned how much it tastes like regular bread. Their response is that they have been working on the product for a long time. They also make a flax seed bread which is also good. I have been looking at maybe buying a case (12 loaves) and freezing. I have tried the main gluten-free breads available and will not mention names because I appreciate any company who tries to make a gluten-free product. The light weight and texture of this product make it far superior in my opinion. Has anyone else tried this product and what was your response. The phone number for Glutino is 1-800-363-3438. Any questions about the ingredients could be answered. The label does mention that traces of soy may be in the bread.

I haven't had their bread yet. I can't find it locally(out here in the sticks), and I'm afraid to order a case from the co-op that I order from. I have had their bagels(plain and cinnamon raisin), and they are first rate. The are a bit denser than a "normal" bagel, but the texture is pretty close to those toxic bagels I used to enjoy so much. They are normal sized too, not like the mini-bagels that Enjoy Life turns out. I would be interested in getting ahold of a loaf to try.

Yes, Glutino is a great product. Everything Ive tried was excellent. They even make gluten-free ice cream cones.

Im in the middle of healing so Im passing on the bread only because I think I react to the yeast. Ill have to wait a while to try that. Wholefoods market and mostly all health food stores carry Glutino products.

Glutino and Gluten Free Pantry merged, so now I've been seeing more Glutino products locally. I think that is helping to get Glutino out with the distribution GFP has. I haven't bought anything yet, but it looks like I should!

The ice cream cones were wonderful

Thanks for the heads up on the "corn" bread AND the ice cream cones. I've only tried a couple of Glutino's products, just the chocolate breakfast bars which tasted like prunes to me, and the bread sticks, which were just okay. I just hadn't thought to try their bread yet. And I never would have thought to try their cornbread while looking for a sandwich or toast type bread.

Thanks again!

Gotta go place an order now!

I've not tried the bread yet, but I definitely will! I love everything I've ever had from both Glutino and GFP, so I'm glad they've merged. I'll have to find more ways to get ahold of the stuff!
