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.

If you don't mind baking, try Gluten-Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix

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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
