NOOOO!
I was so excited for my home-made lunchtime open sandwich with avocado, baby spinach, tuna and parmesan. Been thinking about my Saturday lunch for about two days as I’ve not really been doing bread-type carbs much lately.
Today was the day. I assembled it, put it under the griller, got it out, resisted the urge to instagram a photo of it (I’ve been told it’s super boring of me to catalog everything I eat!) and am about to enjoy it when…..failure.
I’ve been brutally let down by the gluten free bun which turned into sawdust the second I picked it up.
Help me gluten-free warriors – will I ever find the perfect gluten free bread replacement?
This was the one I tried today:
Still sad. I want a sandwich. Instead I picked at a plate of the topping while the ‘tank child’ we call kid#2 licked the crumbs that should have been a bun directly off my plate. So now I’m both disappointed and a little grossed out by my offspring.
Any ideas on making living gluten free less suck-tacular?
Cheers

Try Kersten’s Kitchen FB page, lots of great gluten/dairy/soy free recipes, if you don’t mind a little time in the kitchen. Suitable for food intolerance too. I tried some commercial GF bread the other day and agree, it was gross. Kersten’s recipes make it decent though.
Oh no…This brand is terrible. I bought a pack of 4 pittas for 4.50Eur and they smelled like rotten eggs and wouldn’t even open up so I can fill them. They ended up in the bin. For gluten-free bread, this is my favourite:

Oh gosh, that sounds even worse than this sawdust bun incident! Thanks for the link – am checking it out now!
Yes just asked if its available here in Australia
Highly recommend makign your own – it’s not as hard as you’d think. I use Laucke gluten free bread mix from the gluten free section and love it!
i can’t help you with gluten free foods, but i can understand your frustration at not being able to eat whatever takes your fancy, i have a nut allergy and haven’t been able to have any asian/indian foods that are not prepared at home for years because it is just too risky. here’s to hoping that you find a decent gluten free bread soon 🙂
Zehnders bread (http://www.zehnder.com.au/ made in Maleny Qld and sold frozen) is awesome. My coeliac son loves it. I noticed that it is sold in Tasmania. He also loves the Simply Wiz bread mix. That Living Well stuff is terrible – twice I’ve bought it and it was mouldy. What a waste.
Burgen brand is by far the best like really awesome and so is schar brand the rest is god awful
I adore Burgen but they don’t have a gluten free range that I’ve seen? I have seen the Schar but haven’t tried it yet!
