Gluten Free Bread - Glutino Fiber Bread

Like all parents, my wife and I are worried about what the kids will eat, and what they won't. Lately my oldest daughter will eat nothing but meat, and my wife was worried about lack of fiber in that diet. She then found, at a grocery store near us, Glutino's Fiber Bread.

The Fiber Bread is another one of Glutino's baked sandwich breads. Like most of the gluten free, baked, sandwich breads, it is half the height of regular sandwich bread. That means, when using a toaster, you have to put the bread slice in sideways. Otherwise, you will loose the slice in the toaster. The best way to avoid this problem is use a toaster oven.

Before I tried it toasted, I ate a slice right out of the bag, and I feel in love with it. We use to buy whole wheat and multi-grain sandwich breads before my wife and daughter knew they had a problem with wheat. This gluten free Fiber Bread had such a hearty taste and texture that I thought I was eating whole wheat bread again.

I was ready to make a turkey sandwich; however, the packaging recommended toasting the bread before serving. My recommendation is follow those directions. When you toast it, the flavor of the bread becomes ten times better. The bread also develops a nice crunch that is perfect for sandwiches.

My oldest daughter had the final say on whether to buy this gluten free bread again. She liked it, but couldn't tell me exactly why. It's now her favorite, so Fiber Bread will be bought again.

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.
