The BEST Gluten Free Bread Brands (posted February 2023)

1. Canyon Bakehouse

Considered the favorite bread by gluten-free eaters, it is available in most grocery stores and comes in white, Hawaiian, or whole grain varieties.

Canyon Bakehouse Products include a heritage loaf that is normal-sized unlike most gluten-free loaves, as well as hamburger and hot dog buns, bagels, and English Muffins. Check their website for a dollar off coupon.

Where to buy: Walmart, Target, Smith’s/Kroger, and most other grocery stores.

2. Mrs Hewitt’s

Mrs Hewitt’s has the closest taste and texture to real bread that I’ve been able to find. It’s so good for French toast!

It is also dairy free, egg free, and soy free. It is not widely available in stores yet, but you can purchase online or if you’re in UT you can purchase from their warehouse (be sure to watch for sales!)

Where to buy: online or at one of their warehouse sales

3. Trader Joe’s

Many swear that Trader Joe’s has the best gluten free bread, and I would argue that they might, but only if you’re talking about their Italian Bread variety.

Be sure to check out their seasonal bagels while you’re there!

Where to buy: Trader Joe’s stores

4. Against the Grain

Want a delicious baguette? Against the Grain is a good option. They also make rolls, buns, and pita bread.

Where to buy: check our local grocery store or online.

5. Carbonaut

Carbonaut is a newer brand that has a soft and fluffy texture similar to traditional bread. It also only has 1 net carb, making it a great option for those who eat gluten-free and need to watch their carbs.

Note that Carbonaut also makes loaves that are not gluten free and the packaging looks almost identical, so be sure you’re getting the correct variety.

6. Little Northern Bakehouse

From pizza crusts to organic loaves and bagels, Little Northern Bakehouse has a lot to offer. We found the taste and texture to hold up well, too. Free from: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat (gluten), soy, coconut and sesame!

Certified gluten free

Where to buy: Sprouts, Natural Grocer’s, Fresh Market

7. Schar

Lots of options here, including croissants, ciabatta, regular loaves, and so much more. This is a favorite among those with celiac disease as Schar is known for testing below 5ppm of gluten and is readily available at many stores.

8. Three Bakers

Another popular option, it has a great taste and texture but is a little on the small side (average for a gluten free loaf, but they don’t’ make a larger size like some brands do). They recently released brioche buns which look delicious!

Certified gluten free

Where to buy: A little harder to find, with limited shipping options as well. Find in the freezer section at Sprouts, Safeway, and other select locations

9. BFree

I first tried BFree’s pita bread at an expo. It was delicious and I was excited to have a gluten free pita bread option! They also offer breads, dinner rolls, panini, and tortillas.

Many of their products come in a regular or whole grain variety.

My favorite Glutino product is their English Muffins, which are also a great hamburger bun option! They don’t have many, if any other bread products but the English Muffins are definitely worth the buy.

Certified gluten free

Where to buy: Freezer section of Walmart, Smith’s/Kroger, Natural Grocers, Sprouts

11. Franz

A little chewier than some gluten free breads, but my husband likes Franz a lot. They have white and multigrain varieties as well as cinnamon raisin, hot dog buns, and hamburger buns.

Lots of options including sourdough(!), brioche buns, and even tortillas that are actually soft and bendable.

Certified gluten free

Where to buy: Freezer section of Smith’s/Kroger, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, and some Sprouts locations.

Note that Rudi’s also makes loaves that are not gluten free and the packaging looks almost identical, so be sure you’re getting the correct variety.

13. Simple Kneads

If you’re looking for a healthier option, this is a great one. Simple Kneads makes sourdough loaves in four different varieties: Cinnamon Raisin, Pumpernickel, Quinoa Power Grains, and a traditional sourdough loaf.

All of their products are top 9 free and have a hearty texture and flavor.

Gluten free facility

14. New Grains Bakery

If you have a gluten free hamburger, hot dog or sandwich at a restaurant in Utah, it’s probably from New Grains Bakery. Their products are good and they have so many gluten free bread options including stuffing mixes, croutons, and lots of bread varieties.

I will add that their English Muffins are yummy, but not necessarily the texture of a classic English Muffin.

15. Katz

Best known for their donuts (find them in the freezer section, they’re delish!), Katz also offers bread, English Muffins, and even Texas Toast.

19. Udi’s

This brand is admittedly controversial, as there have been many complaints about huge holes in Udi’s loaves (which are already way too small).

Udi’s is worth mentioning because some people still love it as it has a soft texture and is available at Warehouse stores such as Costco, making it an inexpensive option that offers a variety of flavors.

Where to buy: Walmart, Costco, online

20. Aldi’s

If you are blessed to have an Aldi’s nearby, grab a loaf of their gluten-free bread while you’re there. It is similar in taste and texture to Franz bakery bread, fairly soft and chewy and a little on the small side.

Where to buy: Aldi’s

21. Bread Srsly

I’ve heard great things about this brand, but haven’t tried it yet. Bread Srsly makes artisan sourdough loaves and rolls with minimal, real-food ingredients.

Where to Buy Gluten Free Bread

Buy gluten-free bread products at grocery stores like Walmart and Target, specialty stores like Whole Foods or Sprouts, health food stores, or online.

There are quite a few gluten free bread brands at Walmart including Shar, Franz, Sam’s Choice, and more depending on your area.

Do a Google search to see if you have a dedicated gluten free bakery near you! If they offer bread, it is often fresh and much better than anything you could buy at the store. Here in UT, Sweet Cake Bake Shop is my favorite place to get bread and rolls.

Best Gluten Free Bread Mixes

gfJules is definitely the best gluten free bread mix I’ve found, it makes the softest, fluffiest bread that you won’t even know it’s gluten free.

Pamela’s is a popular option available at many stores. While I haven’t personally tried it, I have heard good things.

What brand of gluten-free bread is best for stuffing?

Use a flour-based gluten free bread rather than one that is primarily made of starch to make a gluten free stuffing that will hold its shape and have a good texture. New Grains Bakery, Mrs Hewitts, and Canyon Bakehouse all work well.

Is Dave’s Killer bread gluten-free?

Dave’s Killer Bread is not gluten free. They currently do not offer any gluten-free products.

Is Ezekiel bread gluten-free?

Ezekial bread is not gluten free. Although it is technically flourless, it is made of wheat and other gluten-containing ingredients and is therefore not safe for someone with celiac disease, wheat allergy, or anyone else following a gluten-free diet.

Is sourdough bread gluten free?

Sourdough bread is not gluten free because it is made with wheat flour. There are some rumors circulating that the fermenting process used to make sourdough bread eliminates the gluten, but this is not true.

If you’re gluten free and would like to enjoy the health benefits of sourdough, there are gluten free versions from New Grains Bakery, Schar, and Bread Srsly

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

Thanks for the very informative review. How do you store the Udi's Soft White bread after it thaws for 24 hours unopened?

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
