What’s the one thing you miss the most since starting a gluten free lifestyle?

Nearly everyone I talk to says it’s bread… A sandwich that doesn’t crumble. A piece of bread that isn’t grainy. A bagel. It doesn’t seem like too much to ask, right? (right??) What we’re all looking for is a list of the best gluten free bread on the market.

We’ve tried a LOT of gluten free products over the years, and here are the ones that made the top of our list. What are your favorite brands/products for gluten free breads? Please share in the comments below!

While you’re browsing this list, please take into consideration the following:

Gluten Free Bread

  1. Udi’s Gluten Free Delicious Soft Sandwich Bread. Udi’s really out-did the competition with this one, in our opinion it is the best gluten free bread you can buy in a store. If you’re looking for a store-bought gluten free bread that doesn’t have to be toasted and tastes like Wonder Bread, this is it. Be aware that you need to let the loaf thaw for a good 24 hours at room temp before opening up the bag…otherwise the slices will stick together. Be sure to get the new “delicious” variety.
    1. Certified GF, Does not contain Dairy, Soy, or Nuts, CONTAINS: eggs
    2. Website: udisglutenfree.com
    3. Where to Buy: Amazon.com, in the freezer section of: Target, Walmart, Harmons, Costco, and more. Store locator HERE
  2. Franz bread is one of our favs. We buy it in 2 packs at Sam’s Club or you can find it at Walmart in the bread section (imagine that, ha!) Each loaf is sealed and it’s good for a month or two on the shelf if it’s left unopened. Once opened, just twist tie it closed or put in an airtight container store at room temp for up to a week. It doesn’t crumble at all and you can just pull out a slice and make a sandwich without toasting. Great for lunches!
  3. Canyon Bakehouse Rye Style is my favorite gluten free bread. Their breads make a mean grilled cheese sandwich or French Toast and can also be stored at room temperature without becoming crumbly, making them perfect for sandwiches. They have a wide variety of bread products and reasonable prices on their website, making them one of our all-time favorite gf bread brands. They recently came out with a Heritage Loaf that’s features large, full size slices. Because we love them so much, they agreed to give you a coupon for 20% OFF your first order! 
    • Certified GF, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Non GMO
    • Website: canyonglutenfree.com Use code LOVECANYON for 20% off your first order (one-time use only)
    • Where to Buy: Target (in the bakery section) or their website.

Gluten Free Bagels

  1. Canyon Bakehouse also makes great-tasting bagels. We love them for bagel sandwiches or smeared with cream cheese, and the cinnamon raisin is delicious when subbed for bread in French toast.
    • Certified GF, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Non GMO
    • Website: canyonglutenfree.com Use code LOVECANYON for 20% off your first order (one-time use only)
    • Where to Buy: Their website is the best option I’ve found. Use the code above on your first order.
  2. Udi’s makes a mean bagel. Varieties include Plain, Whole Grain, Cinnamon Raisin, and Everything. 

 

Gluten Free English Muffins

  1. We love Glutino English Muffins. Tip: when toasted, they also make a great bun for hamburgers!
  2. Kinnikinnick is our 2nd choice for English Muffins.

Gluten Free Tortillas/Wraps

  1. Our favorite brand of gf tortillas is Udi’s. If you briefly pan fry it (20-30 seconds each side over medium heat) with a bit of oil, they’re perfectly pliable and don’t tear or break. We love to serve them with these Thai Peanut Wraps or as Pizzadillas. 
    • Certified GF, Contains: Egg
    • Website: udisglutenfree.com
    • Where to Buy: You can find Udi’s tortillas in the freezer section at Target, sometimes Walmart, and some grocery stores. 
  2. BFREE Foods recently came out with pita bread that we think is pretty amazing. You can find it in the bakery section of Smith’s along with their wraps, buns, breads, and rolls (we like them all).

 

Gluten Free Hamburger/Hot Dog Buns

  1. GFHubs’ favorite is Udi’s whole grain hamburger bun. They also make a plain variety as well as hot dog buns.
    • (Certified GF, Contains: Egg)

Gluten Free Artisan Breads

  1. If you’re craving a baguette, Udi’s has you covered. These are definitely worth the splurge, you probably haven’t had a chewy-in-the-center-crispy-on-the-edges bread like this since you’ve started eating gluten free. 
  2. Against the Grain makes a baguette that is very allergy friendly. It tastes like a cross between Brazilian cheese bread and an actual baguette, our whole family liked it.
  3. If you’re in the Boulder, CO area, stopy by Kim and Jake’s to get a fresh baguette! I promise it’s the best gluten free baguette you’ll ever taste.
    1. Certified GF, dedicated GF bakery, dairy free, soy free, yeast free, Contains: oats
    2. Website: KimandJakesCakes.com
    3. Where to Buy: At Kim and Jake’s Cakes in Boulder, CO. While the baguette is only available in-store, you can purchase their peasant loaf made from the same ingredients at various locations. Find a store near you

 

Gluten Free Rolls

  1. If you’re in Northern UT, Sweet Cake Bake Shop makes great rolls. They also carry bread in large loaves, it tastes just like homemade. They have shops in SLC and Kaysville.
  2. Udi’s makes a Classic French Dinner Roll.
      • Certified GF, Contains: Egg
      • Website: udisglutenfree.com
      • Where to Buy: You can find Udi’s tortillas in the freezer section at Target, sometimes Walmart, and some grocery stores. 
  3. BFree is one of our favorite brands. You can find their products on their own little rack in the bakery section of Smith’s. We love their rolls because they’re soft enough to eat fresh out of the package and don’t have to be stored in the freezer.

Unbelievably soft, homemade, gluten free sandwich bread fresh out of the oven! Stop settling for crumbly, tasteless bread! This loaf will be ready in less than an hour and I can guarantee you'll want a 2nd (or 3rd!) slice.

Gluten Free Bread Recipes

  1. Sandwich Bread: Of course, there’s nothing quite like homemade bread fresh out of the oven! If you’re craving the smell of bread baking and a soft and warm slice of bread, here’s a recipe you’re sure to love, with step-by-step instructions and photos.
  2. Crescent Rolls – you won’t believe how easy these are to make! Pick up a Pie Crust Maker Bag for easy rolling.
  3. Homemade Garlic Breadsticks – also easy to make and the perfect compliment to any meal!
  4. Soda Biscuits – What’s not to love about a tender, flaky biscuit?

      Hi Joan! I think that’s something we all have in common 😉 Our favorite for gluten free doughnuts is a mix you can get from Gluten Free Heaven. We’ve had it several times and they’re just like real, fried, doughnuts. Here’s their site: https://www.glutenfreeheaven.com/

    Living on Southern Vancouver Island I am lucky to have several great producers locally. Portofino Bakeries in Victoria carries and amazing onion / cheese bread. There is a gluten free bakery in Duncan called Bake My Day that carries wonderful “take and bake” pastry , all purpose doughs and my favourite item in the shop is their raspberry lemon curd tart. A bite of heaven. There are good local store brand sandwich loaves that are delicious and very budget friendly, Save on Foods is #1 and followed closely at #2 is Thrifty Foods sandwich bread.

    I adore Schaar’s breads. I’ve found them at home in NY, and also in vacation in the Caribbean islands. They make a tender artisan sourdough bread that brings back memories of my former love of wheat. Udi’s is pretty good, but can tend to fall apart or get crumbly. I’ve tried Pam’s bread mix, and found it very good.

      Thanks for the suggestions, Paula! I have heard great things about Schaar but we unfortunately can’t have it because of soy 🙁 The sourdough sounds so good!

    Their reply : at this time Udi’s is not certified GMO free

    Love your site! I’ve found that if you bake Udi’s baguettes, cool and then put into an airtight container overnight, it makes a great bun for a sub sandwich, or a banh mi. They are chewy and one baguette makes me two sandwiches. I’ve also baked them, cooled them, stored overnight and toasted until dry, then mix with corn bread for a great stuffing.

    Little Northern Bakehouse – Great sandwich bread (my favorite is seeds and grains variety) and hamburger/hot dog buns. I used to like Canyon Bake House but then it started to feel too slimy (a lot of egg?). This bread is not all potato starch!
    Highly recommend!

    Attended a restaurant trade show in Columbus Ohio over the weekend. Great to see (and sample) so many GF options. Of special note were the bread and cookies of Enay Bakehouse. Owned by husband and wife…he is the chef..who are very committed to the best quality ingredients, and healthy GF. Both the bread and cookies are the best I have had. Also, waffkes! from Lopaus Point GF. Toast up to be warm and crunchy…chocolate chip no less. Women owned and operated with a healthy product that is delicious. I stopped on the way home and bought two packages at Lucky’s. Both vendors are looking to expand wholesale, but are currently in stores. Definitely look for them near you.

      I store it in the pantry for a few days. I wouldn’t recommend storing it at room temp more than 3-4 days though, so freeze whatever you won’t use that quickly. -Celeste

    I like Schar breads and crackers, etc. Their products are great! I discovered them in Germany where they have a wonderful selection. Their cereal(flakes) and chocolate chip cookies are really good. Have not found them here, but have found the breads, ciabatta rolls, and crackers too. Thanks for such a great site and good info. I read it faithfully!

      Glad to hear you are enjoying Schar, they make some great products but almost all of them contain soy and my husband is allergic 🙁 Thank you for pointing it out so other readers can benefit! -Celeste
