1GirlTwinBoys Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 DH needs to go gluten free and I'm not sure where to start. First thing I need to do is get some bread that he will like. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticmom Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 My dd likes the schar bread. She also,likes udi's. I have found both at some Walmarts. I prefer the schar because it is vacuum packed and does not need to be frozen until it is opened. The udi's comes frozen and has to be stored in the freezer. When I have purchased bread that we did not like the taste of I have avoided wasting it by drying it out in the oven and turning it into breadcrumbs in the blender. Schar also has shelf stable pizza crusts that we like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We buy Udi's at Costco. My kids eat it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Udi or homemade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 When we first went GF, none of the breads tasted good to be honest. We were using rice cakes, GF crackers, almond flour pancakes as crepes, etc. After about 9 months, we tried the Udi's at Costco again, and it tasted good. :) Just bought some great GF "everything" crackers at Costco. I am loving them with Laughing Cow cheese. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Have you considered giving up on sandwiches? Real foods that aren't bread taste better than the gf breads. We're not GF, but dd doesn't like a lot of bread. I keep portions of rice fried with chicken and teriyaki sauce in the freezer for her. She also does a lot of soups. She goes to high school, but homeschooled for too long to consider cafeteria food, so she has a really good thermos and does a lot of soups and leftovers. She likes leftovers, salads with protein, potatoes fried with meat (hash)' anything over rice, chicken soups, pad Thai with rice noodles, burrito bowls. When she's eating at home she usually throws an egg into her fried rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plateau Mama Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The only GF bread anyone in my house will eat is Udi's. That being said, IMO the least painful way to go GF is to no try to replace gluten favorites. None of the packaged goods are as good as their gluten counterparts and they are crazy expensive. We have been GF for several years and I've found gf recipes for baked goods that my children enjoy on occasion, but we stay away from packaged goods.

kewb Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 If my dh needs a bread fix we usually buy udi's or I bake my own. He tends to just avoid bread because none of it has the yeasty, glutinous taste and texture of gluten bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Oh….and many GF breads taste best (IMHO) toasted. You can also Google a recipe for Irish bannock made with oat flour. (Just put GF oats in the food processor, and pulse until flour like.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I too agree to not try gluten free bread until it's been a few months. It just does not compare. Try rice crackers with tuna or cheese in place of the bread. You can make pancakes with buckwheat (which is not really wheat) or look up recipes for quick breads using rice flours. After a few months, the gluten free bread will taste OK only because he will have forgotten what the real stuff tasted like. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We like Udi's, too. GF bread is not soft and fluffy like gluten bread but we heat it up for a bit in the microwave, which softens it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWillSoar Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Udi's is my favorite. Normally I used it toasted or to make a grilled cheese type sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I agree with avoiding bread for at least a few months. My kids like Udi's, they don't remember what gluten bread tastes like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoEdgedSword Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 If you do get to the point where you are baking your own bread, look at Against All Grain blog. There is a yummy sandwich bread using almond flour. Pricey to make, but delicious for an occasional treat. We try to avoid the white starchy GF breads whether they are prepackaged or homade and go for the high protein flours. They are more filling too.

Laurie Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Canyon Bakehouse is very good. I especially like their "rye" bread (but with no rye!). http://canyonglutenfree.com/buy-gluten-free-bread-products/ I buy it occasionally at Whole Foods but at over $5/loaf it's not an everyday kind of bread.

J-rap Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This gluten-free bread mix is pretty good: http://www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Flour-Gluten-Packages/dp/B00473NTAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Udi's multigrain was my favorite, I think Scharr's tastes like cardboard. My new favorite is the multigrain gluten free loaves at Aldi's. Completely delicious, soft, and they don't leave you with the horrible after effects of the bean flour in Pamela's delicious bread mix (for bred machines). Most of my family prefers the gluten free wraps at Aldi's (they can eat real bread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I buy Canyon Bakehouse's cinnamon raisin at Target. It's a nice breakfast treat and makes good French toast. I just saw that the Artisan Bread in 5 minutes folks have a new (to me) GF book. http://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Artisan-Bread-Five-Minutes/dp/1250018315/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414967491&sr=8-1&keywords=gluten+free+artisan+bread+in+five+minutes+a+day Googled and found their basic recipe on their blog http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/2010/01/05/gluten-free-crusty-boule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 My favorite is the loaf I just made. :) i have a Cuisinart bread machine that has a GF setting. I just made a (slightly adapted) GF loaf with Dried Apricots and Pecans. (the recipe was Apple, cheddar and Walnuts.) this is good enough that I don't feel like it's merely an extremely inadequate replica of bread. It is tasty in its own right.

poppy Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Tried many. Udi's multigrain from the store. Pamela's at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Udi's white sandwich if I buy it. I like gluten free pantry or King arthur mixes for making at home. And I have a recipe for a flatbread I make as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I like Glutino Genius multigrain a great deal more than Udi's. Three Bakers and Canyon Bakehouse are good, too. Schar sub rolls are really good. If you bake, Gluten Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread has really delicious bread recipes, and Nicole (the author) has lots of great recipes on her blog. My family's quite fond of her soft tapioca wraps for traveling lunches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
