Chebe's Fans

KarenG mentioned heating up frozen Chebe's breadsticks in her toaster oven. I don't have one and don't have room in my galley kitchen for another appliance.

Frozen pre-cooked Chebe breadsticks can be plopped in a standard toaster (my setting is at 3) and they come out pefect!!!!

I made some of the breadsticks into knots, and two of those frozen knots fit into my toaster (so I'll be flattening future batches), and they turned out good, but a bit cool in the middle. (Im thinking a double toast would be good at a "2" and they'd be awesome for breakfast sanwiches or BLT's.

The toasted breadsticks/buns were so much better than UDI's, and the toasting really improved the texture of the bread. The best thing is that they were ready so quick, I actualy thought of this during our meal. "Do you want some bread, hon?" "That would be great!"

Just thought this could help someone else, so wanted to share.

Thanks!

I do have an oven toaster (no slice vertical one, though).

I am liking Chebe so far. I really like the focaccia bread, as does hubby. FYI I think they serve it at The Ritz Carlton for gluten-free guests!!!

I tried the pizza crust and I think I undercooked it but it was still ok. And FAST. Bought a pizza pan (holes in it) today so may try again soon.

Have the breadstick and rolls box but haven't tried it yet.

I bought the focacciia mix but have't tried it yet. The local HF store had Chebe's on sale for $2.29 last week! (I stocked up.)

Good luck with your holy pizza pan. I find it best to stick it on a lower oven rack for (still trying to determine the right amount of time, but I think it's 2/3 the time, then rotate it and move it to the top of the oven for the remainer 1/3 baking time. I use the holy pizza pan for the breadsticks and rolls, I think you'll be happy with your purchase.

And designate AN oven mitt or use a dish towel to cushion your fingers, or just suck it up and turn the breadsticks over miday through baking. (I know you're wondering why I don't use tongs, but they haven't worked thus far.

I love the flavor of Chebe bread. When I was a little girl, we brought nickels and pennies to Sunday School for the poor children in South America who had no bread. They had to eat bread made from manioc flour. I want my money back! That's good stuff.

We reheated frozen cooked pizza today in the oven. It was good, but I tought outloud that next time I'd try reducing the amount of chese in the crust. DP thought it was fabulous, but he likes everything, and said it was like a New York crust. I think next time I make the crust I'll use 1/2 vs. 1 cup of cheese. It was good, but the crust was moist in the midddle (so I think DB made that up about NY).

I used less cheese the second time I made the focaccia.
