It has been found. The one thing alluding gluten-free adherents all these years: a gluten-free bread that doesn't weigh as much as your car and doesn't taste like a cardboard box. It comes from Udi's Gluten-Free Foods and meets the craving of most Celiac's looking for a bread to enjoy.
Remember when the bread aisle at Ralph’s or Vons was a friend, and buying loaves of bread with the perfectly browned crust and the fluffy, spongy interior was a no-brainer? Remember back before the trips to health food stores to purchase frozen loaves of brown rice this or tapioca that? Remember how it felt holding the mass produced loaf of gluten-filled dough? Remember how the bread tasted? Remember? Udi's, a Denver based food company, is here to help.
Udi’s Gluten Free Foods has created a wonder for the gluten-free world: an edible bread that is enjoyable and a treat to serve to those who aren't GF.
The first noticeable difference: plucking a bag from the grocer's freezer doesn’t stir memories of lifting a six year old child and carrying them around. The loaf is light and airy. And while it has been in the freezer, it is not a solid mass of bread.
Secondly, through the smartly designed packaging, the crust can be seen and it is toasty brown. Suddenly, the prospects of eating bread is not dreaded anymore. The stomach seems to perk up -- good food ahead!
But the final difference comes when the loaf arrives home, is unwrapped, and – much to the surprise of many – butter/peanut butter/jelly can be spread on it and can be eaten without toasting it. How many other GF breads can say that? Not many? Of course, the bread can be toasted as well, and has proved a nice addition to breakfast.
Whether toasted or not, the bread is of the artisan kind in taste. Flavorful, the bread melts in the mouth, and it might stir memories of freshly baked bread from the corner bakery.
The only downside: the cost. As with other gluten-free foods, it’s expensive, running $5-6 per loaf. But it’s worth it.
Udi’s Gluten-Free bread can be purchased at Whole Foods in West Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, Culver City, Santa Monica and Northridge.
So go! Buy Udi's GF bread. And enjoy!
