I miss bread

[Littleeric]

Im gluten free and i miss bread

[Whydothis]

You have my sympathy - before coeliac I used to enjoy finding good bakes and trying all the different breads.

I have tried most of the bought GF breads - and they are not bread! I make my own rolls now, and enjoy them. Non GF friends are really surprised when they ask what they are made of!

I found the recipe here: dietdoctor.com/recipes/the-... When recipes say almond flour they work perfectly well with ground almonds - I am not convinced there is any difference

Keto and other low carb recipes are very useful for GF cookery!

Thank you for the reply.I have never before really, however i am willing to try.

I missed potato cakes too but happily i make my own now and they are nice.

[Arthrath in reply to Whydothis]

so what do you make with the egg yolks?

[Littleeric in reply to Arthrath]

Hi, thanks for the message.if you mean yolks when making potato cakes, i make mash, then add a bit of flora, salt and a full egg yolk as well and gf flour.Then i flatten them and fry.

Sometimes i let them go cold and toast them.

I like them anyway .

[Whydothis in reply to Arthrath]

I use my egg yolks in a crustless quiche usually, or in cheese scones made with whatever GF flour I happen to have. I like to make something as well as the rolls while the oven is on!

I find bought Gf Bread taste better frozen then toasted.

I've bought Promise brand bread in Sainsbury's. It's by far the best I've found. Soft and tasty. My favourite is the seeded one, but they also do a quinoa, and another one.

I did too until I found Gluten-free Warburton's White Bloomer. Maybe look at the ingredients list and see if this would be suitable for you?

[Littleeric]

Thank you all for the advice, i will certainly be looking out for these suggestions.

I am using a company called the Incredible Bakery, based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, who only make gluten free products. Lovely bread, several varieties , and other products too. Delivered by DPD and I slice and freeze them myself. No probs now with bread, and their loaves are larger than many, but still not cheap. It is nice to be able to enjoy toast and sandwiches again….

[Littleeric in reply to Aitjk]

Thanks for that i will check that out.I got a genius tiger loaf yesterday which is ok, probaly the best ive tried so far.

If you're in the UK, try Warburton's bread. It is the best I've had, the nearest to 'real' bread.

[Littleeric in reply to justannie]

Will do, thanks for the reply.I tried waitrose bread yesterday and did enjoy it at all,it all crumbled up.

[Littleeric in reply to Littleeric]

Didnt enjoy i meant

[justannie in reply to Littleeric]

Warburton's is by far the best. It doesn't have holes in it (!) and it doesn't fall apart when you breathe on it! As a poster above said, their Bloomer is really good, but so is their white and seeded brown loaf. All expensive, of course, but no so bad if you can eat it and enjoy it. Good luck.

Yes, the craving for bread can go on for years until our brain and body get used to the change. I have been GF for 12 years and totally grain free for 6 years. It is a battle at first, but after a while you don't even care anymore. Grains are not an important substance that we need in our diet. It takes time, just roll with it.

[benmaise]

The best one iv'e had is M&S Tiger loaf and rolls toasted. Really good.

[Littleeric in reply to benmaise]

Thanks, i will try that today.

[CATRYNA49]

Yes, we all have that problem in the beginning. It's like anything we are attached to and our body and mind responds when it is taken away. It took years for me to get to the point where I don't care anymore for bread and don't crave it. In fact, I don't even want it anymore.
