Kinnikinnick's New Soft Bread And Baguette

I was recently in Edmonton where Kinnikinnick has its store and bakery. I was curious about the new soft bread so am writing a bit of a review on that and the baguette.

Soft bread - it really is soft. You actually do not need to toast it (for 22 minutes!) before you eat it. It actually holds together. The slices are Udi size, unfortunately. However, I recommend it as it passed the usual tests: it didn't fall apart when spreading stuff on it, it did not crumble and it tasted good. It is $4.99 CDN which is a great price. Next time I'm buying more than just two loaves.

Fresh baguette - I was thrilled to see a baguette that actually looks like a baguette. I grabbed two immediately (one white, one multi-grain). Alas, the white one was just ok. The other is in my freezer. My expectations were too high I suppose. It tasted nearly identical to the baguettes I make with the same texture. For some reason I was sort of expecting it to actually taste like a traditional baguette but it definitely did not. Believe me - there is no way I will forget what one tastes like. However, it was certainly a lot of fun using half of it as garlic bread and the other half for a pressed sandwich. It smelled wonderful. They are $3.75 each CDN and still worth it - mine are expensive to make.

I have been to the Kinnikinnick store twice to get bread and hamburger buns and I find the bread slices quite a bit bigger than Udis and the loafs are also much bigger. Its the only bread I will eat now. I have to take the city bus quite a ways but its worth it. I also grabbed a few pizza buns. It was a very soft, fresh cinnamon bun with pizza sauce. I havent had anything that good since going gluten free.

My loaves must have been squished because I compared. You are right about the loaf size - they are larger than Udi's. I much prefer them to Udi's as well. Glutino is still good (the largest slices) but these Kinnikinnick ones have them beat I think.

Oh, yes - the pizza bun! I tried one of those, too, and it was good. Edmonton has certainly come a long way. Whenever we go there I envy those who have quick access to so many places including restaurants. We have nothing in our town. However, we still go regularly enough and I am so grateful that it is only three hours away! Could be a lot worse. ;)

The soft bread sounds yummy, I'll have to look around and see if we have it anywhere here (east coast USA). But for the baguette -- have you tried Against The Grain? In my area we can buy it at Whole Foods. It is SO similar to a "real" baguette. In my store they're in the freezer section, and they're much smaller than the long baguette you buy in the paper wrapper. But VERY good. The only problem with them is that I can sit down and eat the whole thing, with butter. :ph34r: Can you say calories? :blink: lol

Unfortunately the nearest Whole Foods is probably about 2,000 miles away BUT we are supposed to get one only about 800 miles away soon! They sound very good. I have heard a lot of excellent stuff about Against the Grain.

I know what you mean about calories - by the sounds of things, I could quite easily polish off a few dripping with butter at one sitting myself! :P Maybe with a side of bacon. :lol:

I'm pretty sure you can order it from an online store.

The appearance and texture is amazing. Unlike anything else gluten-free. I like it for French toast. I know...why ruin it like that, right??? Here's my deep dark secret - it makes me sad to eat it. Makes me want real French bread (the texture isn't THAT good :) ).

Okay, you have me confused! What the heck is a cinnamon bun with pizza sauce? I went to the Kinnickinnick site & didn't find a pizza bun on the product list>>>>I did find a cinnamon roll!

I will have to try the bread as I'm all Rudi's--Udi's out. Also Genius breaded out! I need a change for sure.

I also have heard that The Three Bakers Bread(formally the grainless baker) has a new 7 grain bread that is very good...anyone try it yet?

Cinnamon bun with pizza sauce is just a regular cinnamon bun roll without all the cinnamon stuff on it. I never seen it on their site either. They make stuff like that and cupcakes with a bunch of others that I dont think are on the website.

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting?

When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks. Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference. Then after...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue. I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin...

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/
