Glutino Bread

[Corkdarrr]

So I've been on this diet for about six months now. And the only time I crave bread/bagels/baked goods, etc..is when it's right in front of me.

So today, a friend of mine went and bought me some of the Glutino bread, which is kept in the freezer section. I don't imagine I'll go through it very quickly, and it's in my freezer right now.

I guess I'm just wondering...do I have to thaw it out before I put it in the toaster? Wouldn't it get soggy if I didn't? Haha....classic sign of celiac. I've been gluten free for so long, I'm not really sure how to 'prepare' bread.

Anyone?

Courtney, gluten-free bread gets stale very quickly. Which is why you keep it in the freezer, and just take out what you want to eat at any given time. You don't thaw it before putting it into the toaster, you put it in frozen.

Hi Courtney,

I put mine right in the toaster. Its not soggy. I also freeze my gluten-free muffins and put them in the microwave for about 45 sec.

Hope this helps.

I used to do this with wheat bread and never had it get soggy just had to put it in twice or set it to a darker setting. I imagine it would be the same with gluten-free bread. I'm sure you know this already but make sure you use a gluten-free toaster

Thanks for the speedy replies!!

I actually just took my brand new gluten-free toaster out of the box (made the boyfriend buy a second toaster tonite!) and saw a setting for frozen. Which I spose I answered my original question. But gluten-free stuff always cooks differently...

Thanks! I'm kinda psyched about eating a piece of bread now...plus it's been SO long that my expectations are really warped!

The Glutino bread is excellent. You can thaw it out before toasting, but you don't have to. It will take a little longer, but the thermostat in the toaster should adjust the timing. As mentioned, you should keep it frozen as it will not keep for long otherwise. You can thaw it out in the fridge and it will keep for a while that way, maybe a week or so. Don't let it stay at room temperature for any length of time.

I think I'm allergic to something in the Glutino bread, much to my regret. I get a terrible stomach ache after eating it.

I'm slowly figuring out what I can and can't digest now that I'm beginning to digest again. My stomach healed and I added back milk and meat, but I seem to have problems with other things that I haven't quite identified. Maybe it's the corn starch in the Glutino... I don't know.
