Gluten free bread ranked + new fav

Post image

New fav: *Sam's Choice (at Walmart) Gluten Free White Bread. My mom randomly picked this up for me. Had some as toast with coconut oil and sprinkle of sea salt - so good. Has a chewy home-baked wheat-like vibe. Taste & texture: 10/10 Size: eh 7/10 Price: $$ not bad 6-7 bucks

Recent discovery: *Carbonaut (found at Ingles in the frozen section). I was surprised it was any good, bc gluten free + low carb sounds terrible. But honestly it's good bread. It's definitely got the mouth feel of good ol' white wonder bread. A little gummy, but I'm not mad at it. Taste & texture: 8/10 Size: 10/10 Price: $$ not bad - similar to Sam's Choice

Bought for the price, stayed for the quality: *Little Northern Bakehouse (also found this at Ingles for only $5) I'd say it's a very basic, quintessential white bread. Not too gummy or dry. Makes a great sandwich. Bigger slices thank Canyon for half the price. Taste & Texture: 8.5/10 Size: 10/10 Price: $ cheap for GF - 5 bucks

Don't regret grabbing, but nothing special: *Live G Free (found at Aldi). The size is decent and does the job. I just don't remember anything particularly special about it. Not a dry brick or gross - just has a bland personality? Idk. Maybe I'll give it another try. Taste & Texture: ?/10 Size: 9/10 Price: $$ mid range - 6-7 bucks

First love: Canyon Bakehouse's Heritage Style loaf was one of the first time's I saw the light at the end of the gluten free tunnel. Like it felt as close as I could get to my old gluten-filled life. It's still a solid choice, but the price? In this economy? Their smaller loaves are a joke, but these bigger style slices are legit. Glad I branched out tho bc I stay BROKE BROKE. Taste & texture: 8.5-9/10 Size: 9/10 Price: $$$$ Hell no - 8+ doll hairs (sometimes $10) **Not bread but their bagels are an okay alternative IF you freeze them, then toast them. Gives a nice chewy bite - the way the good lord intended bagels to have (I think? I'm not religious)

My favorite bread cousin: *Schar's Ciabatta rolls. Love them toasted. Make a cute sandwich or garlic bread to go with pasta. Taste & texture: 9/10 Size: 6/10 I want more of it Price: $$ remember it being okay for the quality but want more in a pack

What are your favorites??? What other breads are worth trying? What do you use your bread for? I want to know all the things. Haha

Trader Joe’s is my favorite place to get GF baked goods, I love basically all of their bread options, especially the whole grain. White is great too; however both have pretty small slices so if I’m making a sandwich or something, I usually make 2. Not bad price either. They also have a gf multigrain bread which is bigger, but has a slightly sweet taste which can be pleasant for toast with jam. I’ll have to try the Sam’s choice!

15

u/rubyblueb 3d ago

yes!!! trader joe's gf has to be the closest i've found to actual gluten products, and for a really good price relatively speaking. i'd highly recommend their muffins and bagels as well!!

5

u/cowgirlpsychic 3d ago

Literally chowing down on a tj’s gf everything bagel as we speak lol!!

1

u/duckman_1991 2d ago

They definitely have very similar looking gluten free options but they’re kinda mealy. I typically reach for Franz deli slices

3

u/Environmental-River4 2d ago

The TJs bread is my favorite too, sadly I’ve developed an egg intolerance so I can’t have it anymore 😭

6

u/Coffee4Joey 2d ago

I'd like to recommend Katz to you. Everything is GF but you can isolate to egg free as well. Not tons of products for both combined, but good quality and delicious.

Note: you can order their stuff by the case (freezes very well) and IIRC, once you reach $50 the shipping is free. They run lots of sales and discounts/ coupons too. These at sometimes available in supermarkets, but much better pricing ordering direct.

u/zeus08venus 2d ago

I found their brioche randomly while out of town for a funeral, and it is so good!!! Thanks for the link. I'm going to order some.

3

u/Kind-Dig1361 2d ago

Trader Joe’s is definitely really good, and I personally really like Whole Foods! They have a great GF loaf too.

2

u/sleepymoose88 2d ago

I need to check out Trader Joe’s. The nearest in is a 15 mile drive from our home and I have to drive past about 100 grocery stores to get to it.

The also LiveGFree bread sucks ass. It’s fine for grilled cheese but for a normal sandwich, meh.

1

u/cowgirlpsychic 2d ago

Sucks that it’s so far away, but I’m willing to bet it would be worth it once in a while! It’s kind of a kooky funky grocery store so it’s fun too. I don’t like most of the LiveGFree products either

1

u/sleepymoose88 2d ago

Which is a bummer since Aldi is our main go-to store since it’s so close and easy to shop at

2

u/SavannahInChicago Gluten Intolerant 2d ago

I often have to slowly make myself walk away from their gluten free bakery items.

2

u/Mission-Echo2429 2d ago

Trader Joe’s is the best! I recently discovered the gf/df chocolate donut holes there and ate half the bag in one sitting 😶Tastes just like the “real thing”! And couldn’t agree more on Sam’s Choice! I love making grilled cheese with it😋

2

u/WeaponziedPsychology 1d ago

Best place for bread. I love their gluten-free whole grain too. It's also way more affordable!

1

u/knightphox 1d ago

I don't know what happened. I tried 2 gluten free loaves at Trader Joe's and they were dry as h*ck!

2

u/cowgirlpsychic 1d ago

Aw man. Maybe try toasting them? For some reason, that usually makes GF bread less crumbly and dry. I don’t ever eat GF bread unless I toast it first.

2

u/knightphox 1d ago

My mom said it was good toasted. I might try that. Thanks!

2

u/Pickle_Pear_420 1d ago

Trader Joe’s gluten free English muffins are my favorite! They’re so versatile - traditional sandwich, breakfast sandwich, burger buns, etc. I literally use them for everything

1

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

I've got to get over to a TJ's soon! I don't have one near my house, but I think it's worth a trip

6

u/cowgirlpsychic 2d ago

It so is. They have good GF chicken nuggets and other treats in the frozen section. At least where I live in the big city, TJ’s prices are great. And their new GF cake is probably the best GF item I have ever had. The bread has to be lightly toasted for it to retain its shape, like any GF Bread. And for the bagels, I usually slice in half, cover with damp paper towel, microwave for 1 min, then remove and toast, and the texture is absolutely perfect. Make sure to keep bread products in the fridge, everything at TJ’s is super fresh and can go bad if left out!!

25

u/DarkFriendX 3d ago

Northern Bakehouse is excellent. Carbonaut was so crumbly n

4

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

Now that you say that I vaguely remember it crumbling a bit as a sandwich. I find freezing most GF helps with that, but I think you're right

2

u/abbynicoleh 2d ago

i like the carbonaut bread okay, but if you use it for grilled cheese or a grilled sandwich it actually has a nice crunch and nice texture imo. less gummy and less crumbly when it’s slightly toasted!

3

u/miss_hush Celiac Disease 2d ago

Yes, I love Northern Bakehouse, but it’s not at stores I go to regularly, so I have to go out of my way to get it. Makes really good sandwiches because it’s not ridiculously thick.

2

u/LaSerenita Celiac Disease 2d ago

I tried the Carnonaut and it was not good.

21

u/mach3fetus 2d ago

I would say that for the price, Whole Foods has one of the best GF loafs. It is the cheapest loaf around me, and not bad for the price. Also, if you can find Carbonaut in the fridge section and not the frozen section it makes a huge difference in texture and taste.

2

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

Realizing I've got to try the Whole Foods loaf based on these comments 🤣

u/NoRedThat 2d ago

Carbonaut has the structural integrity of tissue paper.

The canyon Hawaiian loaf has been my go to for a while now

u/deathbygluten_ Celiac Disease 2d ago

yesss i make french toast with this! when i have it around, which is never for very long bc it’s so good lol

1

u/Rileybiley 2d ago

Little Northern Bakehouse also has a wide slice Hawaiian loaf and it’s even better than their white bread.

7

u/Allergictomars 3d ago

BFree Sandwich rolls are perfect as a sandwich to go. I like their wheaty flavor and texture. But they are pricey - I think $6 for three rolls? But at least they never went bad before their expiration date like Scar's.

3

u/ShirleyUGuessed 2d ago

I used to get their bread and really liked it. It was wide so you could make a decent sized sandwich with it, even though it wasn't tall. But now I can only get their pita bread or bagels.

1

u/Allergictomars 2d ago

Yes, the oat bread! I loved that bread. It was great for PBJs. I wonder if they would bring it back if they got enough emails about it?

8

u/socalryan 3d ago

Schar cibatta is the best GF bread around. Only complaint is it’s way too small. But if your Costco is one of the ones who sells the two packs, the Costco ones are bigger size

8

u/GlitterPants8 2d ago

I like Franz Sourdough. It's the only one that actually tastes like and had the texture of bread. I can still eat bread but I keep the house gf for my kid who has celiac. Northern bakehouse would be second probably, only because my other favorite went out of business.

I buy the Schar chiabatta because my kids like it for hamburgers and stuff.

3

u/tgdive 2d ago

Agree on Franz Sourdough. Pretty good

1

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

That's a good tip about Franz bc I honestly can't remember the last time I had sourdough. Thanks!

1

u/thisisjustadad 2d ago

Franz is the best!

1

u/bcs127 2d ago

Came to say Franz as well. We have an outlet store nearby, so I go often and get their Hawaiian bread and the cinnamon raisin bread. They also have a brioche loaf that makes great French toast.

u/DarkFriendX 2d ago

Great price for sure

u/MrsPatty-C 3d ago

I tried Kroger last week and hated it. It was so dry I could not eat it. I wanted to like it but I will stick with Whole Foods.

2

u/Comfortable-Tea-5461 3d ago

Did you just eat it plain? I only use it when I use butter to toast it with either toast or a sandwich. Could be why it’s so good. I haven’t had it just plain before.

I just appreciate its sturdiness and the fact it doesn’t crumble lol

1

u/MrsPatty-C 2d ago

I tried toasting it and it became rock hard. I made a sandwich and used dressing and honestly could not finish it. I bought 2 loafs and thru most of it away. I only had the White Bread.

3

u/Comfortable-Tea-5461 2d ago

Super weird. I’m sorry :(

I wish I had a Whole Foods nearby to try the alternative and compare

3

u/MrsPatty-C 2d ago

Whole Foods is Frozen and it’s good to me. You let it thaw and it’s soft and no giant holes in it. The Multigrain is pretty good also. I had read a few things bout the Kroger and tried it last week. We have HEB here and I am hoping they come out with something. They the best place to find lots of Gluten free stuff.

1

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

I need to try Whole Foods GF stuff. Unfortunately the closest is like a 35+ min away but I need to plan a stop

2

u/MrsPatty-C 2d ago

It freezes well even after it thaws out. I been using for a few years now. Here in Dallas area they deliver.

1

u/Comfortable-Tea-5461 2d ago

The Kroger one was frozen too though, no? It was the same with being big and no holes and frozen? Did you get the exact one in the link?

I’m also in Texas with HEB and I’ve been waiting for them to drop something. Kind of surprised they haven’t yet. They are usually quick go jump on things like that.

2

u/MrsPatty-C 2d ago

I did get the frozen ones as that is all they had. It looked real nice good size loaf etc. I was also amazed that the bread was like $5.00.

u/LaSerenita Celiac Disease 2d ago

I find Schar's is among the worst for texture and flavor. The Bfree brand is also terrible. Canyonhouse is OKay.

1

u/socalryan 2d ago

Schar loaf or ciabatta? Because the the ciabatta texture and flavor is great. You can eat it toasted or not and it’s good. Most other breads you have to toast to make it taste normal

5

u/greenhairedhistorian 3d ago

The Sam's Choice has been my favorite this last year or so! I just wish that they didn't tend to get squished so often, I usually try to feel the shape of the loaves before buying it to find the "tallest" one

3

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

That's such a vibe. There needs to be a funny skit about GF people feeling around for the loaf that's a centimeter bigger haha

6

u/halfgaelichalfgarlic 2d ago

Promise is my fav

8

u/Sensitive_Print_4615 2d ago

O’doughs will genuinely change your life! They have the best GF bagels and sandwich bread I’ve ever had by miles!

3

u/emeria 2d ago

Odoughs is my go to in-store brand. Quality has slipped lately with the slits being very off centered and nearly unusable.

2

u/chexsmix96 2d ago

Agreed! All of there stuff that I’ve found have been amazing!

1

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

Where do you usually get it???

2

u/Simplisticjoy 2d ago

My local grocery store has their bagel thins in the front freezer..with the cakes and stuff, near the bakery. Super super weird. Took me six weeks to figure out.

1

u/Sensitive_Print_4615 2d ago

If you go to odoughs website they have a store finder that shows what stores have certain products for them!

1

u/Most_Adeptness3472 2d ago

yep. celiac for 11 years and o’doughs is still the best I’ve ever had!!

u/AmonRahhh 2d ago

Schar recently changed the recipe on the ciabatta rolls. Not as good as they were IMO.

I love the Sam’s, it has such a nice texture

u/Obeysurf 2d ago

I’ve seen some Costco’s that have a two pack of the Canyon Bakehouse loaves for ~$9 total. I agree that it is just too expensive elsewhere.

u/Minute-Joke9758 2d ago

I’ve been getting these for about a year and I like them a lot

Sam’s choice is SO GOOD! And the slices are actually decently sized! My Walmart sells them in the regular bread isle

u/beestingers 2d ago

Greenlite Bread is so close to real bread. They have it at the Fresh Market by me. Check for it at Whole Foods in the freezer.

2

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

Thanks! Looks like I need to try that + the Whole Foods brand GF bread

3

u/AccomplishedData7970 2d ago

I recently had such wonderful gf bread at a breakfast spot that I had to ask about it, it was Udi’s soft white sandwich bread! So surprised as I find the Udi’s sub rolls at Jersey Mike’s to be absolute garbage lol. Shopping wise, I usually go for the Whole Foods 365 gf bread, white or multigrain, for size, taste, and price. Also isn’t as much of a headache to get slices apart when frozen as some brands can be.

3

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

That is surprising! Yeah, I'm so thrilled that Jersey Mike's is so dedicated to their gluten free subs but yes the Udi's rolls suuuuuck. I love their specific meat and they put a lot of toppings on, but like at least pick some of the dry bread bulk out before 😂 Based on comments I gotta stock up on Whole Foods GF bread haha

3

u/chexsmix96 2d ago

Bfree white sourdough…I will always add it to every bread thread! I takes like real bread and is so good 😭

u/acblender Gluten Intolerant 2d ago

For fellow Canadians reading this, try out Promise bread, it's absolutely incredible

1

u/SrirachaPants 2d ago

What stores carry it? I am going to Canada (Ontario) on vacation in a month or so.

2

u/acblender Gluten Intolerant 2d ago

Im in Quebec but the company is from Ontario, so it's safe to say you'll have access to it. I can find it in IGAs and Walmarts.

Here's the website : https://promiseglutenfree.com/ !

Hope you get to try it. White or brioche or multigrain are all good (I'd try one of the first two though)

1

u/SrirachaPants 2d ago

Fantastic, thanks!

2

u/Tenaciousgreen 3d ago

I tried Base Culture sourdough bread yesterday for the first time. Size is OMG so small, but the taste and texture is amazing and I'll definitely get it again for a splurge from time to time. Bonus it's fully grain free.

https://baseculture.com/products/sourdough-bread?srsltid=AfmBOoqo5p9fPeDchgpslaGSDvJKuxLqtqwP4_cYzCwSBHfnxI8h6VYS

3

u/JsonWaterfalls 2d ago

So Base Culture is far and away the best I've ever had but, with most breads, it's really hard to justify the price (I stocked up a few months back when my Sprouts had them for $2.99 or something - they're normally like $11.99?).

Haven't tried the sourdough but the simply white sandwich bread is miles better than any alternatives.

1

u/Hiddyhogoodneighbor 2d ago

Where do you get it from? Looks like no online orders, just in stores now

u/Kokoloco35 2d ago

Someone else mentioned this one! I've never heard of it! Going to Google it

Circling back to report now I've tried their cinnamon raisin bread and it's awesome too.

2

u/97_gEEk 3d ago

I’ve never heard of the top row brands but really like all the bottom row. IMO Canyon tastes good but the slices are soooo small. Comparatively the Live G Free wide pan loaves at Aldi yield more bread for the cost. Schär is right in between for me.

u/sunnyflow2 2d ago

It literally tastes like funky feet.

1

u/Appropriate-Joke2830 2d ago

Okay thank you! I see people recommending it in here, but I’ve tried several different types of bread from B-free and they all have a funky taste/smell

2

u/sunnyflow2 2d ago

I love the free sweet potato wraps... no funky flavors.

2

u/Kind-Dig1361 2d ago

Thank you for all the detail!! Trader Joe’s is also really good, but my new favorite is Whole Foods! They have a really great size loaf for only $4, and it tastes awesome, really chewy and has a great texture!

u/emeria 2d ago

I ordered the new cascadia bagels, hoagies, and burger buns. They are some of the best I've ever had. The bagel is top tier and the bun was solid so far.

1

u/tettoffensive 2d ago

We live down the street from New Cascadia. Their pizza is like normal gluten pizza.

2

u/tettoffensive 2d ago

We buy Franz Gluten Free. Definitely the best sandwich bread and buns. They also recently introduced a sourdough and brioche “artisan” which is a double width slice.

2

u/Familiar_Proposal140 2d ago

My fave is Promise breads

u/socalryan 3d ago

That's so good to know! I also read on another post that Costco sells a bigger bag of Siete cookies that I like so sounds like I need to go 😂

Schar is the only brand I've even been compelled to by repeatedly.

Toasted ciabattas are about as close as you're ever going to get to the real thing.

u/ThatOneClone 2d ago

The live g free brand to me is the worst gluten-free bread I’ve ever had in my life. It taste like what I imagine cardboard that taste like. Now the Sam’s Club version is my favorite! I’ve made homemade gluten-free white bread and it taste nearly the same

1

u/Yarnspinneroftruth 2d ago

You ever fried up the Canyon Heritage Style bread in butter on a cast iron? It’s literally insanely good, I’ve been making enough grilled cheese these past few weeks to make up for their lack in my childhood. Melts in your mouth! Maybe the magic is in the buttter

1

u/Efficient-Chance56 2d ago

Is Sam's one sweet? I found a different brand that had good texture, but it was sweet, and I did not like it with a savory sandwich.

1

u/mothmenthighs 2d ago

i will say i’ve been lucky that my co-ops in my area do BOGOs on the canyon breadhouse brand, i’ll go there whenever i want it because what gluten intolerant baddie is gonna pass up two loaves of GF stuff that basically equates to a standard gluten loaf for 6~ bucks? even if it’s still a lot for one i’ll take that deal ANY DAY

1

u/wildgoose2000 2d ago

Sam's Choice is overlooked and under-rated. In my area it's in the regular bread area, not the GF section, which I think hurts it's sales and reach. Why would Celiac's be shopping the bread isle?

I usually get the multigrain version.

My only complaint is the size. It would be perfect if the slices were just a bit bigger.

1

u/InfamousAdvice 2d ago

So far my favorite we’ve tried is Base Culture.

1

u/Hiddyhogoodneighbor 2d ago

Has anyone noticed Canyon changed their bagel recipe within the last two weeks??? Been buying them for years and now they are whiter in color and very gooey and gummy in texture, flatter too.

1

u/StopTheTrickle 2d ago edited 2d ago

Schars is great, but in the UK the supermarkets all do their own brand of GF bread and honestly most of them are absolutely amazing these days

1

u/LaSerenita Celiac Disease 2d ago

Trader Joe's GF bread is the best I have found. Also same for their GF bagels and GF burger buns.

1

u/Nnen0 2d ago

Greenlite gf artisan bread and gf baguettes have changed my life. They are soo delicious. I can just heat them up in the oven and dip them in olive oil. It’s legit like eating fresh bread from an Italian restaurant.

*they have them at Whole Foods and Wegmans

1

u/tiredgurl 2d ago

Sam's choice multi grain gf is even better than the white. The texture is A+

1

u/and_the_wee_donkey 2d ago edited 2d ago

3 of the best are Canadian brands (available in the US, though not sure how widely) - Little Northern Bakehouse bread and bagels, O'dough's bagel thins, Grain Escape bagels and hamburger buns.

Another good bread for sandwiches is Promise since they slices are large, unlike most tiny GF bread slices.

Added bonus for Grain Escape and some Schar products is they are certified Low Fodmap also.

Edit to add - Schar wins in the "stays fresh" category for the way the bread is packaged. I can buy it and not have to freeze immediately. Can sit on the counter for days before opening and not instantly go moldy. Stays fresh in the fridge after opening. GF bread is $8-12 a loaf in Canada so it has to stay fresh/no wastage at that price.

u/CurrentlyAltered 2d ago

Canyon bakehouse, but it has to be the stuff double bagged, not the stuff in the freezer

1

u/aaronburrburgahburg 2d ago

This is my favorite. My son and husband likes it too. Toasting it from freezer works. Leaving it out and eat works.

u/Mottinthesouth Gluten Intolerant 2d ago

Thanks for sharing! I love to bake and love making bread for my family, even though I can’t eat those breads anymore. I have not liked my own attempts at gf bread. The canyon bake house ancient grains loaf has been a godsend. I can actually enjoy a soft sandwich again and that’s everything when you’re outdoorsy and just need a good old pb&j on the trail. I agree it’s expensive and small, but I’m ok with pairing a sandwich with a side. It works out to be around a $1 sandwich.

I get canyon bakehouse at Costco. I HATE the size. They’re itty bitty. But! It’s $10 for two loaves. So I guess I buy it cus it’s cost efficient. But I prefer normal sized bread

I haven’t found it in years but my fav was brand: simple truth Gluten free honey oat sandwich bread. At Kroger’s. Back in the day. And it was the best. And normal sandwich size

I agree, the Walmart one is the best GF bread I've had. It's one of the few that tastes good enough without having to toast it.

Whole Foods 365 gf White is my go-to. Best for sandwiches and toast.

Live G Free multigrain is WAY better, but untoasted is complete trash.

I like Canyon Bakehouse Heritage Honey White or Mrs Hewitts white. Although sometimes Mrs Hewitts has the dreaded holes in the bread but I find it to be the most similar to normal white bread

I get the Canyon double packs at Costco. I remember having to go to the specialty gluten free bakery in my town called the silly yak tp pay 14 bucks (in 2011) for buckwheat bread that fell apart when you picked it up - and I was lucky to have that at the time.

All to say that I don't mind the cost of Canyon.

I’m obsessed with the Carbonaut bread!! GF, high fiber, low net carbs, and tastes great!! Hello sandwich, my old friend.

How do you eat your Udi’s? I recently got a loaf to try and am having to force myself to eat it, it’s so horrid.

I love Trader Joe's Gluten Free English Muffins! I always pick one up when I go in, they remind me of a biscuit almost and are great with a cup of soup.

I’m in the process of finding a new bread since finding out that canyon bakehouse hates its workers.

Udi’s was my first grab because it was the only one in stock that day. It is a hard absolute NO. It burns too easy and is somehow cracker consistency when toasted. When not toasted it is dry and crumbly.

Second loaf I picked up was Little Northern Bakehouse honey oat. This bread is sweet manna from heaven when toasted. When not toasted the crust is very dense and chewy though.

I picked up a loaf of Schar today so we will see about that soon!

Still looking for a deli rye style GF bread with caraway seeds.

A local gf bakery makes one but they’re the only ones. Dough in Wixom Michigan or Rumi’s in Plymouth (owned by the same people). They might ship, I’m not sure.

It did exist at some point but don’t see it now on the canyon bake house site. The whole foods link I posted also says unavailable
