What to eat with butter (instead of toast) while testing gluten sensitivity

[Rasa]

Just started working with a Naturopath and I'm suspecting that I have a gluten sensitivity. To simplify cutting out gluten, I'm only eating foods that I make right now (though I would buy something gluten free if it got a high recommendation) and I haven't ventured into GF breads yet. But I REALLY want something to mimic toast + butter. Or perhaps a GF cracker + butter. That is, something semi-firm/browned (as opposed to a muffin). What's my best bet?

We have access to a great selection of products at various natural foods stores, so if there's a MUST try brand of bread/cracker, I'd love to hear it. I tried searching archives but was having a tough time with the specific thing I'm trying to replicate. Thanks!

Could you make crackers with some sort of GF flour? It isn't hard, especially since you don't have to do it 'right' with the kneading and all that some breads can take.

Recipe in this thread for almond meal crackers and a few suggestions for (mostly grain free, so therefore also gluten free!) breads in this one...including one I posted for flatbreads which I adapted to be grain free but the original recipe was just gluten free (mostly rice flour with a little tapioca flour, but you could probably use any GF flour mix really).

HTH!

I am in love with Udi's brand gluten-free bread (and other, sinfully-delicious products. I am SO getting some cinnamon rolls as soon as I birth this baby and my blood sugars are no longer an issue!)
The ingredient list isn't impressive from a TF viewpoint, but the bread is delicious. And bread-like. Seriously. My gluten-vore family devours this bread and they've never been willing to take a second bite of any previous ones. It actually toasts, too... as in, changes texture AND color. It browns. It makes fabulous (I'm told) grilled cheese sandwiches. I've even made a couple of sandwiches with it untoasted, which you'll learn is a miracle for GF bread. The number one thing pretty much all GF breads can't do is be used untoasted. The texture sucks. But Udi's can do it.

I limit how much of it I eat, because a) I don't need empty carbs 2) I don't need empty ANYthing while pregnant, and c) it's expensive. But it really is marvelous, and a worthy companion for butter. It was so good I thought for sure they'd tricked me and I'd accidentally picked up gluten bread.

I am crazy about the sourdough recipe at everythingfreeeating.blogspot.com Stays soft and tender even when it's completely cooled.
