Udi’s Gluten Free Foods sent us over a variety pack of six breads to participate in their recipe challenge. Udi’s Gluten Free is committed to creating delicious baked goods, which just happen to be gluten-free. We don’t eat gluten-free in our household but it is something I’m hearing more of!
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and is often using as an additive in other foods as a stabilizing or thickening agent. Some people can not tolerate this. There are varying degrees of intolerance from a slight annoyance to a severe reaction. Bread, which is a staple for many of us, is typically made from grains that contain gluten like wheat. Udi’s products are completely gluten-free and made with the highest quality of ingredients so they are good for you.
Upon opening the package, the cinnamon bread smelled wonderful. The bread I noticed was smaller than normal size bread. We thought it was kind of “cute.” If bread can be cute that is!
What to do with it? The first thing that came to my mind was Turkey Manhattans, which is usually a quick dinner I can whip up. It was also going to take care of that nagging lunch meat we had left in the fridge. Plus, the potato buds I had in the pantry are gluten free!
You can make gluten free gravy very easily with rice flour and chicken broth. Use about 1 1/4 Tablespoon rice flour and around 2 cups or so of chicken broth. Make is as you normally would make gravy, which for me is usually adding ingredients until it feels right.
We used three pieces of Udi’s white sandwich bread for the bigger people and two pieces of Udi’s white sandwich bread for the smaller people. Heaped some mashed potatoes, added a couple slices of turkey, and topped with gravy. Easy! I thought about taking a picture after the kids had already half way devoured it!
The kids were a little concerned that the bread looked different than usual. However, everyone seemed to enjoy their meal!
Now, I will say that the bread by itself doesn’t taste as soft as I normally like my bread. It seems a little dry but it could be because of the way my products were shipped.
You can find Udi’s on Twitter and Facebook.

I had to eat gluten-free for a little while and Udi’s is the only GF bread that was edible. I would use it to make bread pudding and French toast. I would also share a few loafs with my GF friend.
