I decided that the subject of breads is so pivotal to the gluten-free person that it needed its own informational page.
Here is a list of gluten-free breads I like:
Trader Joes Brown Rice Bread
Pretty short list huh? That’s the sad fact. I’m going to say that if you’re celiac or gluten-intolerant, or even gluten-unfriendly, the best thing to do is get yourself a bread making machine.
Bread making machines
Things to look for in a bread maker: Make sure that whatever bread maker you get can be programmed. Many gluten-free bread recipes recommend you don’t knead them as much as regular beads, so its best to be able to program some of the kneading out. Our talented and good-looking head of research Sienna has put together a bread machine information page.
Bread Recipes
An excellent bread recipe on the internet: Gluten free multi-grain bread. We tried this one and really liked it. It is one of those sorts of unobtrusive breads that is great for making sandwiches. One of the changes we made to it that we like was to replace some of the water with whey.

Basic Millet Bread
Sesame Bean Bread
Well that’s a good start. Look here for more bread info as I assemble it.

I just discovered a brand of bread called Rudi’s. Its the only one I’ve found that is worthwhile. :)
I agree! I have tried lots and Rudi’s is by far the best. You don’t even have to toast it to eat it!
We’ve been gluten free for a while now and I can add some tips on bread. I think a lot of “what’s good and what’s not” depends on how you eat/prepare the bread. I used to toast most eveything GF, but I have found some things great in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. King Arthur makes a great bread mix that is fabulous for the first 1-2 days, after that, microwave for 30 sec. per a few slices. Shar makes a great multigrain bread, but you have to toast or microwave it- in the microwave, though, it is so soft and beautiful tasting!!! Just don’t let gf bread sit b/c it gets dry REAL fast!
There is a VEGAN GF bread available already made from Bob’s Red Mill in Milwaukie, OR at their main store. It’s decent enough for a GF vegan option. I have the egg allergy as well as celiacs, so Vegan is is the way to go for me!
I tried a GF bread at the Beer&Wine Fest in April that was REALLY good! The best brazilian cheese bread I’ve had. I think the name of the company was BraziBites(?). I haven’t seen them in stores yet though. Anyone knows?
It is called Brazi Bites and they have had it at the Montavilla Farmer’s market.
Just to clarify, the company selling Brazilian cheese bread (under the name of Paobread) at the Montavilla farmer’s markets is Sina Baking. Head to our website to see where our bread is available. Thanks! http://www.paobread.com/wheretobuy.html
Hi Lisa, Brazi Bites is available in several stores in the Portland metro area, including Whole Foods, Zupans, Market of Choice and others. Now available in 3 flavors – Cheese, Fire-Roasted Jalapeño & Bacon. All are absolutely delicious! See more at http://www.BraziBites.com
At the Hollywood Farmer’s Market, I’ve tried Classy Grains, Kiss Me Garlic Rosemary, and Dark Seedy loaf from Happy Campers Gluten Free, run by Jan and Lacy. All of them are delicious. All of them have great texture. Classy grains is neutral and great for sandwiches, the Dark Seedy loaf is much like a good dark rye (usually sells out first) Kiss Me Garlic Rosemary is what you’d expect, it makes a great smelling, tasting toast.

Udi’s is my favorite and they make pretty good pizza crust, buns, and bagels as well. I also love Happy Campers and Pamela’s gluten free bread mix!
