Oh wow. Bread. It tastes like real bread. Texture is PERFECT.

Gluten eaters loved them.

I'm in love. Seriously.

We can't get Schar products where I live but do whenever we go to Europe. This is good to know for our next trip. Are they light and airy? Please tell me they are! Do they have a bit of lovely chew?

Yes and yes and yes. You don't know they are gluten-free EXCEPT if they get wet (then they do the gluten texture/crumble/dissolve thing) - just don't take a big bite and a big swig of water.

The texture is unbelievable. I'm not kidding. They do this thing where they wrap the dough around, so some of them have a "pocket". They aren't as airy as gluten ciabatta CAN be, but it is by far the best bread I've had.

The taste is a bit bland - wish it was yeasty but that's easily remedied with a bit of butter.

My son and I fought over the last one. I won.

For sure you are serious? You're not just pulling our legs then a few days later give us the punch line? ;) It sounds amazing! I cannot wait to try them. I can cope with a bland taste by adding something but the texture! Pinch me. Am I dreaming? :D

This is dumb. For some reason my sentences run together without much space between. :angry:

The texture was excellent. I'm not joking. They even felt like a roll when you mashed on the outside.

I couldn't believe it. Seriously. I think the brown n serve thing helps...I didn't try one cold (we ate them all).

I liked their spaghetti, too. Hubs gave it a big thumbs up, also.

Man, I am thrilled about this. Do you know how long they keep?

I found them in the freezer at the health food store, and tossed them in my freezer. The date on them (this store puts a date on their products of when they received them) was this month.

The package says to store at room temp until the best by date (April 13, 2012 in this case). After opening store in fridge for 5 days.

Yes, the only "free" is gluten-free and lactose. Sorry.

My store charged $5.50 for the 4-pack. I have seen the loaves of Schar bread at another store but didn't check the price or buy them.

They are a pricey addiction, but I think I will keep a few bags.

They are startig to carry Schar's at Meijer. It does seem that once Meijer's starts to carry it the price can go down. Some of the products are egg free too.

I had the baguette! We loved it! Now I can't find it here. Have though I could use the rolls instead.

Schar is opening a factory in New York or New Jersey (somewhere around there). Should be more stuff showing up.

I love the Tagliattele (sp?) noodles for chicken noodle. Very thin & slurpy.

I tried their pizza crust and wasn't nuts about it. But I am picky about crust and I think I'll only be happy with a homemade yeast crust I roll out super thin.

I tried their cocoa wafers and they were one million times better than Glutino. they may be usable for fondue - haven't tried it yet.

Glutino wafers aren't food. I put them in the category with that Ener-G bread that will choke a squirrel.

Hubby loves them as well, but they always seem to be sold out!

Same thing with the Kinnikinnick (sp?) frozen pie crusts!

I'm almost to the point of ordering on-line just to get them!

I googled Schar and found my local Meat Farms (Long Island, NY) carried it. I'm so excited they are soft and not dense. I won't open till ready to use and then fridge or freeze the rest. I'll report later. But, to my surprise I found that store has a G.F. section. It carries brands that my DH goes to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods for. So excited everyday is a new beginning. Thanks for the tip on Schar.

Can't wait for your review! Soft and good commercial gluten-free bread seems like an oxymoron. Perhaps I will have to order it.

I LOVE those Schar breadsticks, the big soft ones. They're so good with spaghetti and dipped in the sauce too. The Meijer in my city carries a whole bunch of Schar products, and so far I really like them, except I can't eat the loaves of bread anymore as they give me bad shortness of breath which is strange.

May I ask--how does it compare to Against the Grain Gourmet baguettes? Similar? Has anyone tried both products so that you can compare them?

I opened them today and made with pulled pork OMG they are amazing. I've had them for about 2 weeks and just opened today, they are soft not chewy and not overly dense like most gluten-free breads. They have a long shelf life, but try and use within 2 weeks. Finally a bread just like a good gluten hamburger roll. They have the texture of a store brand hamburger bun, not chewy. Thank you so much for the tip.

I picked up Schar shortbread cookies just as amazing, not over crumbly and very buttery. DH picked up there Ladyfingers, a little lemon flavor but had a snap to them with will hold up nicely with espresso for a tiramisu for Valentine Day.

I just bought them for my daughter, and they are really good!

Since we're still new to this, every time I buy something new I try it with her so she doesn't have to feel like a guinea pig. They were pretty good!

I picked up two packs at Meijer. They were on sale for $3.29 a pack, so I took what they had.

She likes them better than any bread I've bought, so I make them for her lunch with a little peanut butter and strawberry yogurt spread (which is gluten free, I found it at Walmart).

Against the Grain is very crusty (at least the baguette, which is all I've tried). Schar is softer. Like comparing a gourmet French baguette to something you'd make a submarine sandwich from? That makes the Schar sound bad but it isn't. Just softer and denser.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
