Gluten Free Bread - Ener-G White Rice Loaf

As most people will agree, the most popular school lunch a kid will ask for is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Unfortunately for my oldest daughter, that means finding a good gluten free sandwich bread.  Fortunately for her, there's several new gluten free sandwich breads available.  The latest that I have found is Ener-G Foods' White Rice Loaf.

Ener-G Foods is one of the few gluten free bread manufacturers that you will find on the grocery store shelf.  Most of the other brands are found in the freezer section of the specialty foods.  Their White Rice Loaf is also one of the few gluten free breads that you can toast.   It browns and crisps rather nicely.

The bread itself is denser than a normal white bread.  Its texture, but not its taste, is very much like a dense sour dough.  Like most gluten free breads, it has a spongy texture that crumbles in your mouth, but not to badly. 

Like a good white bread, the White Rice Loaf does not have a strong flavor.  It does leave a taste in your mouth like you've eaten rice, but that only occurs if you eat the bread by itself.  If you use it in a sandwich, you taste what is between the bread slices.  

One warning about this bread.  It dries out extremely fast, so you will want to store in in either your refrigerator or your freezer.

Both Charlotte and I like it, so it will be bought again.
