It is also thicker and more flavorful than BFree.Ĭons: Like any bread that comes frozen, it needs to be toasted.įlavor: Tastes like classic white bread. The slices are big enough so that, unlike Canyon Bakehouse, one sandwich will do for a meal. Pros: Affordable as far as gluten-free bread is concerned. After my taste test, I used it to make my lunch the next day and it was a perfect size and taste for a tuna sandwich. It tasted like the sandwich bread I remember eating as a kid. I ate the Rudi's bread after I ate the BFree bread, and after one bite I could tell I preferred Rudi's. The bag should have a blue label that says gluten-free underneath the Rudi's logo. Make sure to read the label carefully before eating it. One thing I should note: not all Rudi's bread is gluten-free. I found Rudi's homestyle original bread in the frozen bread aisle at Fry's. Although it is crunchy, it does not break or fall apart easily. Texture: I toasted all my bread slices in the same toaster for the same amount of time, but the Canyon Bakehouse slice came out crunchier than the rest. I sometimes will pack two sandwiches to make up a proper sized lunch, which is a problem if you don't want to spend over $12 on bread for a single week.įlavor: It has a noticeable grain taste, which I really enjoy with a turkey sandwich or buttered toast. If you're the type who cuts off the crust, you'll be left with hardly any bread. Especially good if you like bread with a noticeable grainy taste.Ĭons: The slices are very small, about half the size of a slice of Rudi's, Udi's or BFree. Pros: Good taste and holds together well. I picked up the ancient grain loaf and it was excellent.Ĭanyon Bakehouse also makes great gluten-free bagels and my personal favorite, Hawaiian sweet bread. But I got another loaf and ate it with the others just for the sake of unbiased comparison. This is the type of bread that my family buys on a regular basis. Texture: This bread broke apart in my hands as I was eating it. Pros: At $5.49, it is the cheapest bread on this list.Ĭons: The slices are too large to put in an ordinary toaster without breaking them in half. Maybe that'll be the next product I taste test. The cinnamon raisin bagel in particular caught my eye when scrolling through their website. BFree also sells sourdough bread, wraps, naan bread, pita bread, pizza crusts, rolls, baguettes and bagels. It's possible that the white bread just wasn't my type. However, I don't want to speak for the brand as a whole. I'll admit, I haven't eaten normal white bread in nearly eight years since I went gluten-free in 2015, but I do remember it having at least some kind of flavor, even if it was subtle. Rather, it didn't have much of a taste at all. That's not to say that the bread had a bad taste. I know a lot of newly diagnosed Celiacs bought it because, at least at my Fry's, it was kept in the bakery freezer under a giant sign that said gluten-free, while all the other gluten-free breads were stocked in the bread aisle among the normal loaves and thus might've been harder to spot if you weren't sure what to look for.Īfter tasting the white bread, I was not impressed. I had never tried it before this taste test, but I worked at Fry's during college and had many conversations with customers about it, and I don't recall anyone ever saying it was their favorite bread.

Here's a ranking of gluten-free breads you can find at most grocery stores. To keep it fair, I toasted the breads before tasting, because toasted is always better.

Gluten-free bread tends to be expensive, so I did the taste testing to bring you this power ranking of the five of the most common gluten-free sandwich breads you can find at your local grocery store.

Gluten is a binding agent that keeps food together, so if you elect not to use it, the result is often crumbly baked goods that fall apart when you touch them.
Not all gluten-free bread is equal - a loaf labeled gluten-free can range from very dry and flavorless to utterly delightful. But those of us who've done it know that it's easier said than done. View Gallery: Here are 5 of the most popular brands of gluten-free breadĪfter being diagnosed with Celiac Disease or a gluten-intolerance, one of the first things most people look for is a good gluten-free bread.
