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.

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
