Gluten Free Dinner Rolls-ORDER NOW for Thanksgiving delivery!

These are perfect smothered with butter or margarine. This is not a bread recipe masquerading as roll. This is a special recipe that gives a more delicate taste than a loaf of bread.  Just refresh them by popping them in the oven with  loose foil over them and bake them just long enough to warm them approximately 2-5 minutes depending on your oven.  They can be froze and saved for a later date also.

Gluten Free Bread at it's Best: Keeping your Bread Fresh Tasting


Today I actually had a loaf of Gluten Free Bread left over after the Farmer's Market. Normally I taste it just hours after it has been baked and it is sheer delight, speaking from the point of view of someone with a wheat intolerance.

However, after eating my bread a full 24 hours after I baked it I decided on some things...
  1.  Nothing beats the freshest made bread, so if you are going to have to wait to eat your bread, FREEZE, FREEZE, FREEZE it to stop your bread from drying out.  And, definitely do not put in the refrigerator which is like death for gluten free bread.  
  2. If you are going to freeze it take the time to slice it and then place wax paper or something in between the slices to make getting small portions super easy. You will be glad you did, otherwise expect them to all stick together for dear life leaving you to try and saw them apart or worse microwaving the whole loaf to release a slice.
  3. If you decide to leave your bread out, yes it will get dried out more and more each day and begin to get crumbly.  However, you can always refresh your bread by putting it on a low setting of your toaster or just plain toasting it until crisp on the outside and moist in the center.
  4. I see our local store is now carrying a new selection of gluten free baked goods, Udis.  Some of their products contain maltodextrin, corn syrups and mold inhibitors. 
  5. We are trying to keep our bread wholesome and free of processed ingredients.
  6. After trying our two breads over and over I just really like the chewy, yet spongy texture of our Rustic Bread over the Honey bread, but the size and volume of the Honey Bread really make a nice size backdrop for a burger or sandwich and it has great flavor, but it is more dense in texture.  I have customers who really like both. Try them out and let me know what you think.

Gluten Free Bread

You asked for it! I am pleased to announce we are now serving Gluten free bread. Our bread pans are dedicated to GLUTEN FREE only baked goods, to help prevent cross contamination in our bed.

(Photo: The left our honey bread compared to a store bought Gluten Free bread)  I really liked the sweetness of this loaf and you could use it as a multipurpose bread. 
This bread uses a corn mix and produced a lot of nooks and crannies and toasted up so tasty slathered with vegan margarine and fresh peach jam.  The taste reminded me of a rustic tasting sandwich bread.

I guess you would have to try them both to find your favorite.
I preferred the flavor of the honey bread, but I enjoyed the texture of the corn mix bread.
I ate them right from the oven. So, I will have to freeze them and see which one taste the best after freezing.

One thing you should really avoid is putting gluten free bread in the refrigerator because it makes it dry and stale.
