Any suggestions of shop bought gluten free bread please thats not full of additives. Can make our own but just want a quick fix sometimes

Thank you for any help . Easy bread recipes ofcourse are welcome. We make in oven from almond flour or cassava flour recipes. Lovely but time consuming and we only make in small tin . So slices are about 3 to 3.5 inch square . Would love to make it the size of shop loaves . But am worried it won't cook in the middle .as recipes suggested this size loaf tin.

The only commercial gf bread I’ve found to be ok are the small square ‘thins’. Lots of supermarkets make their own versions. Loaves and buns are always disappointing and as you say, full of additives. If you’re worried about a home made loaf not baking all the way through in a standard bread tin, make your bread into free form buns or one large round. I’ve never had a problem that way. I usually make myself either some buns or a small round loaf once a month because I don’t eat much bread. I then pre slice the loaf or buns and freeze them for convenience later. Hope that helps.

The knife and fork bakery do some great bread. Lots of variety and delivered to your door. It is baked to order. All good ingredients and not full of additives. Only problem is that it is expensive so not altogether everyday bread but it is lovely for treats. It cuts and freezes really well. X

Maybe a bit unusual, but I make a very quick version of bread from natural yoghurt when I don't have time to do proper baking. You can combine equal parts of natural yoghurt and gluten self-raising flour, and then flavour it however you want (I sometimes go for spices, or sometimes for herbs - even fresh from the garden, or sometimes seeded). Put small balls of it into a dry, non-stick frying pan and gently pat them flat with a spatula. Let them fry until both sides have browned. Turns out like a thicker version of a little naan or other flatbreads. It's actually really tasty with houmous, or other dips, or thick spreads like nut butter. It's nice warmed up and cold. First saw the recipe on BBC food as a suggestion for how to use up yoghurt before it goes off. A bit quirky perhaps, but quick and tasty, so worth trying

I’ve tried this too and the result is delicious.

They're all pretty disgusting I've found. I make flatbreads using gluten free flour and yoghurt (can use lactose free yoghurt if on low-FODMAP diet). Make a load up and then freeze. Just pop into toaster to defrost x

Hi sounds brilliant . Can you advise further sorry . We are dairy intolerant too . Do you think alpro soya yoghurt would work . I will look for a recipe online . Or could you just advise how to make . Is it like a pitta bread in appearance. I would love to do this .

[Gutguru in reply to poppppy]

It’s difficult as I don’t love soya products (that’s a whole other story!) but you could try. I’ve tried coconut yoghurt in the past which didn’t work…. Have you tried lactose free yoghurt as you may be intolerance to the lactose (the sugar in the milk) rather than the proteins?

[poppppy in reply to Gutguru]

Thank you for reply . Its my partner mostly . He has had blood tests suggesting dairy as opposed to just the lactose . But I don't have it coz of the thyroid protocol as I am hypothyroid and coz modern dairy farming is cruel in my opinion . Might try goats milk yoghurt . As he is not so bad with goats milk . I remember the days when you could eat anything . But hey ho . Hope you find gluten free OK and are feeling well in your self

The only ones I’ve found that are good (though mainly for toast) are the Good Grain loaves from Ocado, particularly the sourdough, but they’re about £5 a loaf.
