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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
