Best Gluten Free Bread

I've tried a few different brands of gluten free bread and none of them have been worth eating. The only breads that were good were those that were freshly made at gluten free restaurants. Does anyone know any good gluten free bread that tastes very close to real bread?

I've tried Ener-G bread, Glutino bread, and whatever that bread is that is sweetened with fruit juice. I didn't like any of them.

Foods by George has some awesome english muffins in plain and cinnamon. I toast them first because otherwise they fall apart. I usually add strawberry cream cheese to it.

Cybros has awesome rolls

Kinnikinnick has donuts, breads, etc that are good too

Hope this helps :D

What you might want to try which I have found worked really well for me, it to toast the bread. Anytime I eat bread with anything I have to toast it or else I wont eat it because I dont really like it either. But I buy the Ener-G and I think that it tastes fine.....as long as it is toasted.

Good Luck! :D

I like Ener-G the best...the tapioca loaf. Then the Kinniknick....but I don't think there really is a good store-bought gluten-free bread. And it's difficult to make homemade gluten-free bread. All gluten-free bread can be made.....more edible :P .......through toasting.

Best I've found so far. And the above comments about toasting are right on.

I think that Kinnikinnik's Itilian bread is good not toasted too....I make sandwiches out of it and am real happy with them. It is good to finally find a bread that you don't have to toast to use it. I ordered the first time from them online and then asked my health food store to order it for me and they did. I will bet that their large customer base of celiac patients will be glad for it as the bread they were handling wasn't as good as Kinnikinnik's.

I've given up on bread for the most part. Other than the whole foods pizza crusts which I turn into pita pockets and only have them on rare occasion. I roll sandwich meat with a piece of cheese and consider it a "sandwich" anymore. Sometimes I still miss bread, but for the most part I've gotten used to not having it.

I've also given up on bread. It's just not worth the money or hassle.

I am one of the non bread people also. I do the lunch meat roll-ups like callico jo mentioned. I use frito scoops for meat salad (chopped roast beef, mayo, pickles). I don't see the point in wasting the calories on something that is not that good. I make poori bread when I have spaghetti and that is really good.

There is one really good bread mix that I do like, but I only make it every once in a while (little expensive to order) . I just like it because it toasts. I make garlic bread and grilled cheese with it when I get the craving. It's called Manna from Anna.

Homemade gluten-free bread is not difficult if you have a bread machine. You just put the ingredients in and turn it on. I have not found a decent store bought bread and I think I know the reason...The gluten-free breads do not have a long shelf life because they dry out and become crumbly within a couple of days. It would take longer than that to get them to the store. I bake a fresh loaf every 2 or 3 days because of this. The bread mixes out there tend to be prohibitively expensive for me. If you have a particular gluten-free mix you like, however, there is a machine recipe out there for it. While the bean based ones make the softest textured bread, I cannot handle the stonger taste. I generally use a brown rice mix and replace a 1/4 cup of the rice flour with bean flour for texture. Check out some of the bread machine posts or my post on milling your own grains.

I agree that the Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread is great. The mix is pricey (a bit over $5 here in FL) though but it is really good. It is the first one my girls would actually eat (they are sooooooo critical). Alot of locals in our gluten-free support group have awesome success with breadmakers (we haven't gone down that road yet so I can't talk from experience).

I eat Kinnikinick Italian bread, Glutino Corn bread, and Sterk's Italian white, and Sandwich bread. They all are excellent toasted! I make lots toasted sandwich's! I find that the bread is really dry if it isn't toasted.

I vote for Kinnikinnick, they have a sunflower seed bread that is excellent, and as stated above I always toast it, also makes excellent grilled cheeses!

Their donuts are pretty good too... :D

My mother-in-law bakes the best gluten-free bread I've been telling her for ages to find a way to market it. She's showed me how to bake it but I can't for the life of me remember the recipe, etc right now (She does it so well and so often I don't usually bother) but I will check with her. I will not buy any more bread because it simply is not good. I recommend you give the baking a go and stash some in the freezer for later use.

Kinnikinnick gets my vote too! White sandwich bread and hamburger buns are my boys favorites and of course the glazed chocolate donuts!

I also like Kinnikinnick Sandwich White. I'd like to add that in the past two months I have been buying puppodons, an indian cracker, and now like it better than bread. They look like a large communion wafer and usually consist of bean flour, lentil flour, or other combination, and are gluten free. I just pop it in the microwave for between 40-60 seconds, depending on the mic, and it puffs up. Then I just add my filling. Sometimes sauce and cheese, chicken salad, ham and cheese, etc. Four puppodons are around 100 calories, 0 fat, 3-4 grams of fiber. They are also good plain just as a snack.

Yes......quite often, someone from a health food store will try to convince you that spelt is okay for celiacs. It is a form of wheat and definitely is not.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
