Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 We defrost the loaf a bit in the microwave and the slices come off well (a table knife for some help makes it a little easier). You have to treat food for life bread like fine china to keep it from breaking apart. A good store bought bread that doesn't crumble is Ener-G. My son likes the Tapioca loaf the most. They also make nice burger and hot dog buns. You may want to give those a try too. On Behalf Of lickifu Monday, October 17, 2005 11:22 AM Working with Frozen Commercial GF Bread I had a bad first experience with frozen commercial gf bread (Glutino brand - I found it tasteless and impossible to toast properly), but I decided that I would give commercial gf bread a second chance, so I picked up a loaf of Food for Life Raisin Pecan bread. I tried it as soon as I got home, and I found the bread to be reasonably tasty (albeit too sweet). The problem is, I am having a really hard time getting slices of bread off of the frozen loaf (it probably took me 20 minutes to get on slice off and I destroyed 1.5 other slices in the process). Has anyone else had this problem? Should I just defrost the loaf? I'm also having a problem toasting the bread - the edges get really toasty but the middle doesn't...

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Glutino is my favourite brand, but not in the plain varieties. I like the flax bread, the corn bread, and the hamburger buns. There are other brands I like and don't like, though I haven't tried Food for Life (Never seen it here). Anyway, if you just let the loaf thaw for about 5 minutes on the counter, the bread will pop off much better. And as for toasting, let the piece thaw a few more minutes before putting it in. Don't put the bread in the microwave. It'll get all chewy/hard/icky. Shannon p.s. And save ruined pieces for bread crumbs.
