How to use frozen bread?

[tinyblackdot]

SO how in the world do i use it? Do i keep it frozen after i buy it? How to i get the slices apart? Its the brown rice bread if that makes a difference.

I keep my brown rice bread in the freezer after I buy it until the day before I use it when I put it in the refrigerator. After it dethaws a bit the peices come apart naturally. I then make sure to use it within a few days.

Unless you make french toast you will need to do something with it to make the consistency better. I don't have a toaster so I put it under the broiler in my countertop oven. Either method works.

FWIW, I personally don't like GF bread. We make A LOT of french toast because it seems to be the only thing I like with it. Maybe it's my years of eating wheat bread. The kidlets don't seem to mind eating a sandwich made out of it but to me I equate it with eating cardboard. I have tried making my own bread but at high elevation I can't seem to do it. When I do visit people at normal elevations I make my bread and it's much better.

I use the brown rice bread for my dd. I always keep mine in the freezer. When I want a piece I take a knife and stick it in between the slices to separate them. I have never had a piece break, the slices always break apart from each other perfectly. Then I wrap it in a little cloth rag (I guess you could use a paper towel) and then pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. It always comes out perfect.

This bread is really tasty for non wheat bread, imo.

Good luck!

I break the loaf in half (or thirds) and keep part on the counter (in a plastic bag) and the rest in the freezer. You need to use it within a few days, so estimate what you'll need and leave the rest frozen. The stuff is pretty dry unless you toast it.

I have tried to break it frozen with a knife as ppost recommended, but it is difficult.

So it wont go bad if you leave it out?

What brands are you all using? I'd like to check out the ingredients lists for us. Thx!

I am using Food For Life brown rice bread. It is WF and GF, but not yeast free. They do make a yeast free one as well. Here is the link https://www.foodforlife.com/procart_...D=10&do=detail

I have used Food for Life, Kinnickinick, and Ener-G. Ener-G is not frozen and actually is my favorite. Bob's Red Mill makes a nice GF bread mix. They have several kinds. But we are high altitude and I can't seem to get any GF to bake well up here. The bread of those brands is GF, casein free, and soy free to my knowledge (read the ingredients though).

Edit: I have Kinnickinick and Ener-G on hand if anyone wants to ask an ingredient question

No, it WILL go bad if you leave it out for more than a couple days. I just got sick of trying to get the tip of a sharp knife in between slices, slices breaking, denting the knife tip when it goes thru (or slips off)...oh yeah, and occasional injury. : Totally feeling your pain.

We use food for life brown rice bread. There's one at whole foods that lives on the shelf...but it is like eating a white sponge if you ask me. None of them are wonderful.

Darn. I think all of those brands contain corn (xanthum).

The Ener-G Tapioca loaf I have has Guar Gum. I don't know about other corn based products since that isn't an intolerance in our family. I just happened to notice it was guar and not xantham gum.

I believe methylcellulose (in the Ener-G Tapioca Loaf) is a corn derivative... And I believe Kinnickinick has eggs.
