Today I received my order from
Gluten Free Mall. (Featured to the right of the blog). I was pleasantly
pleased at how fast I received my order, within four days to be exact. All my
products were intact, the box was packed with bubble wrap, and even had a small
freezer bag to keep my candy bar from melting. That's what I call service.
As I mentioned in my previous
blog post I had ordered two loaves of bread from Bfree to try, and then give a
review on them. A white loaf, and a brown seeded loaf. I have never tried their
products before, actually never heard of them either until I found them at the
Gfree Mall.
If you have read my blog for
any length of time you will know I am somewhat a bit picky about my gluten free
bread. I have tried throughout the years many store-bought loaves and most of
them have been tasteless, had a bad mouth feel, or just too expensive for my
budget. Hence is why you will also notice many gluten free bread recipes posted
here. Some oven recipes, some recipes using a bread maker. We all have busy
lives and therefore don't always have time in the kitchen to bake, or else we
prefer baking more enjoyable treats, like cookies and cakes.... guess that
explains the few extra pounds I've noticed lately...
The loaves were exactly what I
was hoping for! First let’s start with the white loaf. It reminds me of the
WONDER bread I grew up eating. It kind of has that spongy texture that I
remember more than the exact taste of the bread itself. Yet it did not disappoint.
I toasted it and smeared it with just a little butter so as to get the real
taste of the bread. I found that the crust toasted quicker than the toast
itself, so I just turned the toaster a little lower and toasted a second time
to ensure it was toasted all over.
The crunch was even, the mouth
feel is almost to the perfection as if I was eating regular gluten bread. It is
a nice thin slice, which is good, as the slices are actually a little longer
than a loaf of regular white gluten bread. All in all, I would give this 4 1/2
stars, but only because the brown seeded loaf exceeded my highest expectations!
The brown seeded loaf has that
chewiness that a regular gluten wheat bread might have. It toasted perfectly on
my toasters lower setting, The edges were crunchy, the center moist and chewy,
and the flavor I have to admit was the best flavor of any gluten free bread I
have tried in years. So, I definitely give this loaf a 5-star rating!
The carb and sugar count in the
brown seeded loaf is also lower, so my husband being a diabetic, says it’s even
suitable for him to eat. He really enjoyed the flavor and crunch it had also. So,
I guess hands up its a winner for both of us.
I really must say that if you haven’t
tried Bfree's breads yet you are really missing out. If you can find them in a
store local to you, I suggest giving them a try. If you can't find them locally
you can purchase them to the right of this page in the Gfree Mall. I think you
will be pleasantly surprised with their goodness.
Until next post,
