As a lover of all things bread and bread-like, I was heart-broken and gutted (literally) when I learned at the age of 25 that my allergic reactions were due to wheat and gluten.  This was several years ago and I was finding it very difficult to find substitutes for something as simple as toast or a thickener for soups and sauces.  My wife and I spent the next few years reading and researching gluten-free products and have spent a lot of money on a variety of items – some good, some bad.

One of my most recent discoveries was a loaf of Premium Fiber Bread by Glutino.  As all of us gluten-free folks know, it’s very difficult to find sandwich bread that’s not soggy, moist, and heavy, and one that doesn’t stick to the top of your mouth.  This loaf, however, breaks the mold.  I’ve used it for sandwiches, toast, bread stuffing and several others.  It was really great to be able to heat up a bowl of tomato soup and dip into it with a grilled cheese sandwich – all gluten free.  Yum!

I’ve also put the bread out at brunch for toast with company (bread and non-bread eaters alike) and everyone comments on the heartiness of the bread and they are rarely qwowed by it.  The texture of the bread is not overly heavy like some homemade or other brands, its lighter.  A light toasting definitely helps to draw some of the moisture out that is holding everything together – the replacement for the gluten.  It is truly unlike other breads I’ve tried to make myself and have purchased in the past.

Another benefit to those of us that are gluten-free is the increased amount of fiber in the bread.  Although we all know you can get fiber from vegetables and beans, sometimes we want to know we can get it from more traditional food sources such as bread and grains.  I’m not a nutrition expert, but we all know that fiber is always good for your diet.

So, if you, too, find yourself hunting and searching for a good gluten-free bread, search no more.
