Schar Ciabatta Rolls

I wondered if anyone has seen Schar ciabatta rolls in Safeways or other stores? I am from the UK where they are widely available (marketed as DS rolls). They are par-baked and are superb for sandwiches. Just need reheating for a few minutes.

I have been informed by Schar that they are now available in the USA, but have yet to find them in the Bay Area (Safeway does carry their crackers).

Apparently Genius bread from the UK is also being imported soon.

I wonder--do celiacs here have sandwiches? The only bread I can find is terrible, so I never make sandwiches in the USA. I long for ciabattas . . . please let me know if you see any.

I get the pizza crusts at one Albertsons. Have seen rolls there too but don't remember what kind they were.

I get them at Jewel in the Midwest which I believe is the same as Albertsons and Super Valu. They are always available at my store as are many Schar products. I do not care for most bread, but I know many people do eat it and enjoy it. I ate gluten fro 25 years of my life and was very much in love with bread and pasta so for me eating gluten-free bread just isn't worth it for me. Maybe I shall have to go over seas to taste some good bread again!

I get them at Roche Bros and at Shaw's market once in a great while in MA. They are relatively good for gluten-free bread, but don't go in remembering classic chewy ciabatta!

Thanks very much for the help--I will certainly check Albertsons here in SF.

That is exactly what I was wondering. If they are anything like their regular bread, no thank you, as I find their bread to be lamentable at best. Ciabatta bread is supposed to be chewy so I am afraid my disappointment would outweigh any excitement. I will just continue on my quest in making chewy gluten-free ciabatta (which so far evades me).

Haven't found them in SF :( And their website is horrible . . . so give up on this one. Waiting now for Genius bread to be imported.

We've been getting the Schar Bagettes and the Sub Sandwhich rolls. I've never had any other's. These are, by far, the best gluten-free (and vegan) rolls I've ever had. I had given up hope after trying the Ener-g breads, which are the worst bread products I've ever tasted.

Sorry - this has nothing to do with the topic, but I was just reading this thread and saw your name for the first time on these boards..'Graindamage' - brilliant! Thanks for the giggle. (And sorry to all other posters here for going off topic!)

I have bought them in Safeways in San Francisco, and I am really disappointed.  I lived off of these in the UK (marketed under the DS Brand) but these just don't taste the same--too powdery, funny tang.  Perhaps it's just me--but I have a feeling that they haven't got the recipe right.

check (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned), they have them..

 

Hon, not sure what company name you tried to write there, but if they have spammed the forum in the past (which is not allowed), their name will

not appear when you type it out exactly as it is.

My Shoprite in NJ has them, and I also love the Schar deli-style bread.  It's fairly close to rye bread.

I bought them in my local Stop & Shop (I'm on the east coast) and I do like them. So far so good. MUCH better than their white bread. When I want white bread I but the Udi's (not the frozen one.)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
