Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Well you just saved me a few bucks! I was considering trying that bread just now as you wrote in, as part of my Miss Roben's order! Maybe I'll pass. I make my own bread in the bread machine mostly, so I'm afraid I can't be much help. Sorry! Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Rice Bread is disgusting. lol No, I do not care for any of the commercially prepared GF breads. That's why I know so much about Tom's - lol BL Does anyone have a favourite commercial GF bread? My mom bought me two loaves of Glutano white bread and I really, really don't like it...I think that I might not like rice bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'm glad that I'm not the only one that doesn't like it! I tried to like it but it tastes like styrofoam - or worse! I really need to get off my butt and buy some GF flour... Any other opinions? , " Brenda-Lee Olson " <shalomaleichemacadem@m...> wrote: > Rice Bread is disgusting. lol > > No, I do not care for any of the commercially prepared GF breads.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I hear what you're saying about commercial gluten free breads. The only one I eat regularly is Food For Life Brown Rice bread, which tends to be heavy and have an almost sticky texture (sticks to your teeth I mean). It benefit greatly from toasting but it's still a compromise. I once tried Ener-G bread and wound up throwing most of the loaf in the trash (bad taste AND bad texture). The best bread I've tried is Kinnikinnick Italian Sandwich bread from Canada. Sadly my potato allergy keeps me from their loaves but it doesn't mean you can't try them. As I recall it was almost like wheat bread in taste and texture, and best of all it didn't fall apart when I touched it. Their other baked good (cookies, donuts, brownies and muffins) are excellent as well. If Kinnikinnick doesn't do it for you, you might have to learn to bake your own. Which while messy is enormously satisfying (I took pictures of my first successful loaves). Good luck, tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I've found some wonderful commercially made GF breads. They are made by Glutino - NOT Glutano. We've tried and love the flax seed bread, fiber bread, cinamon raisin bread, pizza crusts, english muffins and sesame seed bagels. Of course they need to be lightly toasted - but after that it's as close to " real " bread as you can get!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I actually double checked my bread and it is Glutino. It's just their regular white bread though. , " Nan Patterson " <ollie2@a...> wrote: > > I've found some wonderful commercially made GF breads. They are made by Glutino - NOT Glutano.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 kinnikinnick has a website at www.kinnikinnick.com They have a one price shipping policy and ship via courier so that the product leaves the factory frozen. They suggest you immediately refreeze everything when it arrives. If you order from them, I would order lots to make the shipping price more reasonable BUT not everything is vegan. If you live near the Canadian border, kinnikinnick is now in most Safeway and Save-on Foods locations and their mixes are also carried by several different grocery chains.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I actually live in Canada so kinnikinnick is available in the grocery stores. Their loaves are so small and expensive though...I wouldn't want to buy one and not like it... , " Brenda-Lee Olson " <shalomaleichemacadem@m...> wrote: > kinnikinnick has a website at www.kinnikinnick.com They have a one price shipping policy and ship via courier so that the product leaves the factory frozen.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I'm actually on the East Coast. I think that I am probably going to have to break down and bake my own bread... Thanks, Danielle. Oh, and I'm not of asian decent...I'm not sure where that came from. , " Brenda-Lee Olson " <shalomaleichemacadem@m...> wrote: > I am forgot I was going to ask you where in Canada you are.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hmm...there seems to be a lot of votes for the Ener-G Tapioca bread. I don't know if I can get that here or not (I know that it's not at the grocery store but I know that the natural food store carries some Ener-G products...).

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hi all, I have a question. Don't those frozen GF bread you've been talking about contain egg whites? Last time I wanted to buy English muffins and bagels, but they all have egg whites. I'm a strict vegan. Does anyone find any good commercial bread that does not contain eggs and is sugar-less or sugar-free? I only found Glutano bread suitable for me, but they're not good.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Dear all, I hope I can find Ener-G Tapioca bread or FoodForLife red rice bread at Wegman's. I have never made bread in my life, and I would try to get all the equipments and essentials to experiment sometime. That would be fun! This is such a supportive and nice group!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Do you know of a good recipe for a rustic style bread? , " Brenda-Lee Olson " <shalomaleichemacadem@m...> wrote: > Jing > > To make a rustic style bread you don't need anything beyond a bowl to mix in, the measuring devices and a baking sheet.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hi all I've tried all the various GF breads available commercially in Perth Australia, and they all tast yuck! I am a bit disappointed at them, I have yet to find something nice. I guess we just have to accept it that it's never going to taste like real bread which I do miss a lot.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hi BL Ok, will give that a try. I'm really sick of cardboard bread!

It raises nicely, the flour blend makes it not so obviously wheat free in it's taste and even egg free (to make it vegan) it is not as crumbly or dry as most commercial breads. It is worth the effort to make it at home. I'd give it a try if I were you. > > BL > ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hi Jing Yi and Nan, You both mentioned Wegmans. Do either of you live in the Rochester NY area? Not all Wegmans stores carry the same things. Maybe we can work together to get our local stores to carry the products we need?
