Frozen Bread

I bought some Kinnickinick Robin's Honey Brown Rice Bread the other day in the freezer section of Vitamin Cottage. I kept the bread in my freezer. My problem is figuring out how to get just two slices off this frozen block of bread without breaking the slices. Help!

Also, I think this bread has a good flavor, but it has quite a chewy texture. Are all Kinnickinick breads like that? I made a sandwich today by toasting the bread, then spreading mayo on a slice, adding roast beef and shredded cheese, then putting it under my toaster oven's broiler for a minute or so to melt the cheese. Then I topped it off with the other slice with more mayo and yellow mustard. YUM!!!! It was the best sandwich I've had in a long, long time.

Oh, one more bread related question....I met a woman the other night who took some rice bread with her to a deli and had them make her a sandwich on that. Ignoring for a second all the massive contamination issues this could cause, how would one go about heating the bread before making the sandwich? I wouldn't use their toaster obviously. Can you microwave the bread to soften it up?

Thanks!

Elaine

I have been using mostly their english muffins but I remember having issues of how to get a few pieces off!

I just leave it in my fridge. Are you not using it very much? I use their products almopst daily so they just stay there o not get moldy.

If I need some straight from the frezzer I put it in the microwave for a little bit.

I think that frozen bread tastes good when it is toasted. Oops I just relized that I had frozen where toasted is in bold. You guys probably thought I was crazy :huh:

I eat these amazing frozen bagels and I just put it in the oven for about 15 mins. on 350, then I take it out and cut it and toast it. I would never bring my bread to a deli or any place for them to make it. When I go to breakfast, I always bring my bread premade and already buttered. They always offer to heat it up, but I never let them because of the cross contamination. :)

I thought you were teasing, Medaka.

Hahahaha.

Elaine,

I only use Kinnickinick bread, and when the loaf gets too stick together this is what I do. First I sort of whack the loaf against the counter. Usually this loosens the slices. If that doesn't work, then I gently separate them with a butter knife. I've never had a problem with the bread breaking this way. Then I microwave the slices for about 30 seconds and toast it. It is the best tasting gluten-free bread I have tried, and I don't mind the chewy texture.

As for having the deli make your sandwich on gluten-free bread, I wouldn't do it personally. And I don't think you would be able to heat up your bread, you would have to either have it soft (and chewy) or cold and hard. Either way it would get contaminated, so it isn't worth it.

God bless,

Mariann

Thanks for all the replies!

Does anyone have opinions on the different flavors of Kinnickinick bread?

I agree that I doubt I'd try the deli, but they do seem to be an allergy friendly place. I plan on going for another salad and scoping it out.

Carrie, I thought you were being a smarty pants when you said you liked your bread frozen! (Meaning you didn't like it at all, regardless of what you did with it.) Glad to know you like it toasted!

Thanks again,

Elaine

My kids favorite Kinnickinick bread is the White Sandwich Bread. My favorite is the Sunflower Flaxseed Bread. The Brown Sandwich Bread is really good too.

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      I think your question needs clarification. Are you asking who gets sick from consuming some of these prolamins are all of them? Everyone in the celiac/gluten sensitive community will get sick from consuming gliadin, hordein and secalin. Some will also get sick from consuming avenin. Apparently, some don't do well with any of them.

      Prolamins are a type of protein found in cereal grains. Different cereal grains contain different types of prolamins, which are named based on the grain they originate from.  Here's a breakdown by grain:  Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. Rice: The prolamin is called oryzenin. Sorghum: The prolamin is called kafirin. Prolamins are a major component of cereal storage proteins and are known for their high proline and glutamine content and can get celiacs and non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals sick.
