The best store-bought gluten-free bread? Hands down, it’s Udi’s. When my cousin’s son Reed came back from Camp Celiac (more on this in a future post), he declared that the best food at the camp was the grilled cheese sandwiches. Now this is a statement, considering that he was eating dairy-free rice cheese, but the fact that it was served on Udi’s gluten-free bread made it tops in his book!
I was lazy about ordering it online to try it for myself, but lo and behold, it showed up in my Whole Foods recently. And I must say that the 13-year-old was right — it is delicious. I have now tried both the Whole Grain Bread and the White Sandwich Bread. I much prefer the Whole Grain Bread but there are probably many people that would like the White Sandwich Bread just as much. The bread is made to be eaten NOT frozen, NOT refrigerated, which is how I ate it, but it depends on where you live and how it is shipped and stored. Of course, like all gluten-free breads, just toast it and it tastes even better.
If you can’t yet find it in a store near you, you can order online at Udi’s Gluten Free Foods.

Their pizza crusts are really delicious too. I pre-bake and take them to my local pizzeria and then they top it for me- works great! Haven’t tried the bread yet-but it will be in my grocery cart the next time I am at WF’s!

Gosh… we are SO addicted to that bread (whole grain).
it’s the first bread with actually BUBBLES inside! (contains eggs).
We can’t have enough of it, fresh, toasted, with nothing or with “butter” and jam.

I have to agree. I live near Roseville,CA and I was at my local Whole Foods and saw this bread. I only bought 1 loaf, my mistake because after tasting it I ended up eating half the loaf alone. So I went back the next day and bought 4 more loafs, along with some of the pizza crust. I love this bread it tastes so yummy. I tell you it is so hard to find tastey gluten,soy and milk free bread these days.

Just went to my local Whole Food on a hunt for Udi bread.
I just got finished with 2 pieces tosted with a little peanut butter. 5 Stars! I asked a co worker to try and tell me if she thinks it is good. ( since I can’t remember what a non GF piece would taste like) she said it reminds her of sour dough- I got the white bread. I can’t wait to make a big fat turkey sandwich!
Reed says
Yeah that is me. We LOVE Udi’s. The first time I tried it I just ate it plain and it tasted way better than anything else hands down. Five stars to Udi’s! 🙂

You should have stopped by Gluten Free Specialty in Midtown, Sacramento. They’ve had Udi’s bread, pizza and muffins since July of 2009. They also have a whole lot of other bread and fancy food options to meet all of your personal needs. Many of the products they carry are not available anywhere else in California. We love them!
