Kinnikinnick Breads?

[Live2BWell]

I went out on a limb and baught a loaf of Kinnikinnick Itallian White Tapioca Rice Bread [wow, say that 5 times fast] ~ so it was in the freezer section, and it is currently in my freezer. Now, what to do with it when I am ready to use it, is another story

Any great creative ideas for store baught breads (and I have heard Kinnikinnick is good, any other pointers ???)

That particular type is relatively thin, and be ware of a tendency to crumble a bit when you bite into it. It's my favorite of the Kinnickinnik breads.

If you ever try the hamburger buns, a trick I have found (they have a tendency to get slimy and mush up during thawing) I let it sit at room temp for about 3 minutes, then cut them through the middle using a serraded knife, then plop seam side down on a cookie sheet and place immediately into hot oven (350F), this creates a crust on the inside area that you want to put any condiments on... helps

good luck girl~

When I first started eating gluten free and didn't know I couldn't tolerate tapioca flour/starch I bought kinnikinnick bread. I kept it in the freezer and then would put two slices on a plate in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds then flip them over if they needed more time then I would put them in the toaster till they were toaster to where I wanted them. I make my own bread at home now since I can't eat their bread but I microwave and toast mine the same still.

I was nervous about making sandwiches to put in the refrigerator at work, how it would taste later but it was just fine. You do need to be careful with the toaster the outter part of the bread does get toasted quicker then the center...I had my share of burnt bread in the beginning haha.

If you end up liking the bread you can always order through their website and they will ship from Canada (where they are) it is $10 for shipping last I saw.

The toaster will be your best friend. I find that gluten free breads are not very good unless they are toasted, then they can be pretty good. It generally takes a little longer than real bread to toast thoroughly. Kinnikinik is pretty good. If you can find Cooqi breads, they are more like real bread. but still, use the toaster.

I second that. A toaster is a must for all the gluten-free bread I've bought. I personally like the energy tapioca bread when I'm in a pitch but generally I make my own bread.

Thanks for your replies everyone! So I had toast this morning for breakfast, with the bread, and topped it with margarine (I checked, it was gluten free) & a dash of cinnamon-sugar, and I was pleasantly surprised (it was actually, debateably tastier than the "real" stuff)

So what other breads do you all like? Are all Kinnikinnick brand breads good, because this particular one was pretty yummy

So far, I do like every Kinnikinick product I've tried.

One thing I do with the hamburger buns, is slice out a middle section of the bun. gluten-free bread can be kinda dense, and if I don't slice out the middle of the bun, it's just too much bread, or something. I hollow out the hotdog buns in the same fashion, although that's a little trickier.

I have to do that with all the premade buns we've tried. I don't have to do that with my homemade (from scratch, not a mix) hamburger buns. I've still not been able to come up with a method of making homemade hotdog buns! Just cannot get the shape right.

I just did some internet hunting. I use little 4" round cake pans (they were at my grocery store! ) for hamburger buns, and they are perfectly burger-sized. So I figure there's got to be a mold somewhere that would work for hot dog buns. I googled "eclair mold" and found this:

Man that's a long address.

Would that work for you?

They make yummy cinnamon-sugar donuts!

The flavor is very nice... it's just tricky working with the slices...

organic peanut butter mixed with honey is good on them too!

good luck Sweetie

My husband, a non-gluten-free'er, made a great discovery with kinnikinnick bread. If you wrap the frozen slices in a damp paper towel and then microwave them for about 30 seconds (turning over once during cooking) they stay surprisingly moist and

"uncrumbly". I highly recommend trying this method. It works well for brown rice tortillas too!

Kinnikinnick makes delicious chocolate covered donuts. Yum. It only comes with a couple in the package but I'm not a huge donut eater. They're a great treat. I've tried their hot dog buns and hamburger buns and didn't really like either. They tasted like a sponge to me. But I've tried the bread you have and the White Sandwich Bread and both are pretty good!
