Having A Real Hard Time With Bread

[nj celiac]

Just recently diagnosed. I don't have any symptoms but my son did and was diagnosed first. He is only 6 and hasn't had the year of experiance with the good food. Any suggestions on the bread???

Yes! The absolute best gluten-free bread we've had is a homemade recipe found here: Open Original Shared Link

The recipe above is versatile- I make hamburger rolls out of it, and dinner rolls as well. My son takes a PB&J sandwich on the hamburger roll to school every day. It's also forgiving- people make all kinds of substitutions, and it pretty much always works. The only substitution I make is, I use sorghum flour instead of garfava. The ingredient list may look intimidating, but trust me it's WORTH it. I keep the dry ingredients mixed in ziploc bags in the fridge, to pull out when I need it.

The best premade bread in MY opinion is Kinnikkinick, which is in the frozen section at Whole Foods.

What other things are you looking for? I have a really good pizza crust recipe I'll post if you want it. I also have a good chocolate cake/cupcake recipe- much cheaper than buying a mix.

I have two boys- both on a gluten-free diet. One is 4 1/2, the other will be 7 in a month.

IMHO the best premade bread is Kinnikinnick's cheese tapioca bread. It has to be toasted lightly though to taste good. You can get it shipped to you from www.kinnikinnick.com. Their donuts and bagels are also amazing, so stock up.

You may also want to try the Gluten Free Pantry's favorite sandwich bread. Its really good and its super easy to make.

I agree about the above bread recipe--it really is the best.

But a very close second (and a WAY faster and easier recipe!!!) is this (and start to finish, it is really 30 minutes or less!!!!!):

gluten-free--Flaxmeal Skillet Bread

I have to also vote for Kinnickinick. My favorites are the Italian white bread and the Pizza shells. I use the pizza shells with hummous as well as pizza toppings. Be sure not to forget that almost all of our breads need to be nuked or toasted for the best texture. I didn't realize that the first year and my poor DD got to take sandwiches to school that fell to pieces with the first bite.

Our best luck with bread has been Chebe. We use the kind you add cheese to. Even the non-gluten-free eaters we know love the stuff!

We haven't had much luck with sandwich bread, but my daughter does like the white sandwich bread by kinnickinnick for toast.

The best bread I have had is Against the Grain. It comes in baguettes, bagels and roll. Whole Foods has it, at least the Boston ones do. It is made in Vermont. I believe the have a website. If not I can get you there info. It contains, tapioca starch, eggs, mozzerella and salt. Incredible. My son who is not gluten free won't eat any other bread excpect this one.!!
