There are pros and cons to this bread. I was really looking forward to receiving this bread initially. I've rated this as three stars because my overall opinion of this bread is fairly neutral. It has some really good points but it also has some major failures.
All of the gluten free breads at my local store are these tiny little loaves that (while adorable) are too small to make a decent sandwich, the main reason why I bought this one is because the slices are full sized (first positive) plus they offer it in bulk (second positive). When I opened the package I was surprised to find that the bread felt rather dry. It felt similar to gluten free bread that had been sitting for a couple of weeks (first negative). I had hoped that I would receive bread that was fresher, but this bread felt like it had been sitting in the warehouse for a while. I also found that the bread, when uncooked, doesn't hold together very well. If I made a sandwich for work, the bread would be getting cracks in it by lunchtime and would leave lots of crumbs everywhere (second negative).
BELOW ARE THE IMPORTANT POINTS:
This bread eaten fresh (tried as a salmon fish sandwich):
- Way too dry and cracks easily
- Messy
- Has little going as far as taste
- Texture is strange, almost granularly
This bread eaten toasted (tried as a grilled cheese sandwich):
- Crip and toasted to perfection
- Held together very well
- The texture from toasting is almost better than gluten bread in my opinion
- Cooking it seems to enhance the flavor, it pairs very well with butter
Overall, I think this bread is great if you're using it for cooking/toasting. However, if you are looking for a bread to use fresh (for pb&j, ham sandwiches, etc), then I don't recommend this bread for you.
