It took me a long time to find a gluten-free bread that didn't completely make me gag. Finding out in my 30s that I have Celiac Disease has made it harder to find replacement foods; I'm just so used to the taste and texture of wheat-based baked goods.I've tried over a dozen kinds of breads, and thanks to my sister, I found Glutino. I've tried their Premium Corn and Premium Fibre, and it's safe to say they taste the most like normal wheat bread (the Premium Fibre is by far the best one.) The texture is still more dense than wheat bread, but it's nowhere near a door stop like some of the brands on the market today. :)
Make sure you don't over toast it though - it can become very hard. Just lightly brown it, and it's perfect! I haven't tried it as plain untoasted bread though. Try it and leave a comment!
Unfortunately, Glutino's website isn't all that informative, but it does give a basic list of where to buy their breads. I found mine in the frozen aisles of Safeway, where they have most of Glutino's breads, bagels and english muffins. They even have pizza crusts. General gluten-free stores should also have this brand, but call ahead before you make any long treks - it's hit and miss.
Try their crackers, too. Very flavourful!
Hi Jenn,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled along your blog through Canadian Scrapbooker...I know I am commenting on an old blog post, but thought if you were looking for a wonderful GF bread, there is freshly made brown rice bread at Breadland organic in Oliver Square (beside the Second Cup). They also make wicked GF buns too. My husband is also celiac /nut allergic and I am allergic to dairy. Cheers!
