Who Makes the Best Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread?

I'm surprised BFree isn't on this list.

Bread Srsly uses long fermentation of organic millet, check following study: ´Antithyroid and goitrogenic effects of millet: role of C-glycosylflavones´. I would prefer to stay away from that Trader Joe's... flaxseed meal. Google ´flaxseed testosterone study´. And you'll see how it plays with hormones. Especially - testosterone. I would avoid that. Sadly the article is not helpful at all.

Thanks for FINALLY including Trader Joe's!

I find Udi's to be overpriced and full of holes. Tastes better if toasted. Udi's frozen bagles don't slice evenly, and , of course, have to be defrosted before being sliced and toasted. Some of the breads recommended are not universally distributed. I would not recommend Udi's.

I don't like Udi's at all, although it seems that they have a great sales rep in the Dallas area because most of the frozen gluten-free bread space is taken up with it. I particularly like Canyon Bakehouse, especially the Heritage style which has larger slices. The whole grain version, however, has flax seed which I am allergic to. The honey white does not. I also like Three Bakers, but it is rather pricey and slices are small. I have never seen Srsly here.

Breads baked from boxed flour by breadsfromanna.com are always overlooked when rating gluten free bread. Anna offers several varieties, which can be baked in the oven or in a gluten-free bread machine. The first time I tasted it at her facility, it was a sandwich using fresh out-of-the- machine herb bread.

For creating a proper hoagie (Philadelphia for Italian submarine sandwich), I have tried all of the brands available in this region. The only gluten-free roll I have found that does not fall apart, leaving me with a bread salad, is the Schar baguette. They simulate a "real" Italian bread roll, and maintains shape. Better yet, the packaging allows it to be kept for months, and refreshed as needed by putting in the oven for a few minutes (not necessary).

I really like Happy Camper. They're small slices but sturdy, sort of a gluten-free version of Dave's Killer Bread. And no egg, which is an allergen for me. BFree products are good also.

I agree that Udi's often has annoying holes in it. However, I like the texture of the bread. In my experience, it holds up well with a light toasting when making a "dagwood" type sandwich. The flavor isn't outstanding, but also not objectionable. It's better than any white bread I used to eat. The other advantage of Udi's is that if you buy it from Costco, you can get the larger loaves. They are as wide as Oroweat and provide lots of slices. Most other gluten-free breads come in tiny loaves that are impractical for sandwiches. I don't want a sandwich that only lasts for three bites!

I find Schar's breads to be somewhat pasty, the way rice/tapioca breads are. And while I really like the offerings from Udi's (a lot of variety) they have for years suffered from huge gas bubbles in the loaf, which make it look like mice have eaten out sections ranging from marble to golf ball plus size. Which can mean four or six slices are only useful as "halves". It is wonderful that there is so much variety in pre-made gluten-free bread these days, at all.

Re: Millet--The study you site is a study about evidence that millet may play a role in the genesis of endemic goiter in areas where the population consumes low or absent rate of iodine. The study is about third-world areas and dietary problems resulting from low iodine. That scenario is simply unlikely to occur in the Untied States or any other developed country. Basically, it is not applicable to Americans.
