New GrainsArtisan Sourdough Round Bread | Gluten Free Bread, Delicious Sourdough Taste with Fluffy Chewy Texture and Crisp Tanned Crust | Bread Fresh for Simple Snacks and Tasty Sandwiches | 1 Pack

Description says "Delicious Sourdough Taste with Fluffy Chewy Texture and Crisp Tanned Crust ". Not even close. The bread is so dry and crumbly that you cannot even spread butter on it without it falling apart. I am very dissatisfied with this product and Amazon says it is not returnable. I think I should get a refund. The product description is pure fantasy.

Here's the thing...I am in the Bay Area, and GF or not, lots of bakeries fail at good, real SF sourdough...The fact these folks even attempt is beyond me. That said, this bread rocks!! I can totally live without bread. Yes, I miss a freshly baked dinner roll at dinner, but really to me, bread is a vessel for goodness...like butter...or homemade jelly...I digress...BUT, when I go through the effort to make a sandwich (and I make epic dogwoods!! Seriously legendary) I want a bread that will hold all the goodness and not break down. I frankly, don't even care about the taste because I have plenty of flavor between the bread. I had given up on texture, because, hello?!?! the gluten makes the texture of bread. This bread delivers. The highest compliment I can give is this...I didn't plan very well and ordered 3 items to take full advantage of the shipping cost. These items arrived the day before I left on a business trip, so I just threw em in the fridge and kicked myself. I arrive home, 3 days after they have ARRIVED, and my husband has made pepper steak sandwiches. Now, if you have never had a real pepper steak sandwich, I am so sad for you. They consist of thinly sliced BBQ'd tri tip beef, topped with peppers and onions. Really good pepper steaks are slathered in butter and olive oil. It will get messy and you usually need a hearty roll. I threw caution to the wind and used this sourdough. My sandwich was amazing. My husband sat next to me and cursed his full gluten roll as it disintegrated after about 3 bites. My sandwich stayed intact till the last bite... and here's the kicker...the bread actually tastes good!! I tried a piece for toast the next morning...TOAST!! I just don't have toast because usually the GF bread is so bad in texture or flavor that it's inedible. Can you taste the sour dough...meh, kind of, but it's still far and away the best GF bread I've eaten. I know it's expensive, but the loaf is huge. There are at least 15 slices of various sizes. The middle portions would really only take one slice to make a good sized sandwich. To me, it's worth the convenience of being able to pack a sandwich with the rest of my family on road trips or picnics...there is only so much salad a person can eat!!! BONUS...they threw in a GF coconut macaroon and brownie...both great too!!

Better than the regular white they make, this sourdough is better, and only slightly sour.It'd definitely mostly a rice bread, which next to cardboard GF breads, is my least liked. But if you're ok w/rice breads, this is the best one of that category I've tried.Rice breads are overly moist..to the point of being wet when new..doesn't toast well, get gooey when heated. This one will crisp on the outside..but like all rice breads, it's super bland. And hasn't the crunchy airiness when toasted that real bread has.I'm sad, Glutino's Seeded flavor bread was heaven. They just lost a ton of customers though as they just changed everything and ruined it outright. Totally different flavor, shrunk the size...it's left me seeking another good GF bread for toasting.Here we go again....

A loaf of Canyon Gluten Free bread ( my Favorite brand) increased to $10 / loaf at local grocery store, so I thought I would check online for GF Bread. Yes, I did check the customer reviews before buying. read a few, and placed the order. realized it would take over a week, went back cuople days later to check delivery date. read a few more reviews and realized reviews were not sorted by date, previously read were from a few years back. all recent reviews reflected poor quality. So maybe 3 years ago, it was decent bread? But what I received today is dry, easily breaks into pieces, and almost zero flavor. and Yes! I do know good sourdough, I lived in N. California for years back in the 80's, and good sourdough was available everywhere! Shame on the bakers selling this product!!!

It's funny, when I was reading the reviews for this product before I bought it, several people talked about how expensive it was and I was puzzled -- the price really isn't much more than we pay for a "normal" (not GF) loaf of good sourdough. Well, I hadn't yet noticed that it is NOT eligible for Prime free shipping, and the shipping costs more than the bread, thus, indeed, making it a very expensive loaf of bread. BUT, I decided to give it a try and am so glad I did. Just ordered another loaf!Of course it's not *exactly* like regular sourdough bread -- let's face it, NO gluten free bread is *quite* as good as regular since the gluten is the very thing that basically makes bread be bread. ;-) But this is very good and especially good if toasted or grilled (although I made a cold turkey and brie sandwich with it, too, that was quite good). Makes fabulous french toast, grilled sandwiches, etc. and for someone who needs to be GF, it's really wonderful to be able to eat somewhat "normally" for those things.Someone in another review had suggested separating the slices with parchment (or wax paper) and freezing the loaf, then you can just pull off the slice or two that you need and I think that's a great idea. For this first loaf I was really "experimenting" (and one day was out of other bread so used it for my non-GF husband, too) so I didn't need to freeze it. It stayed plenty fresh in the fridge for the length of time it took me to use it up. But I might do that for this next loaf in order to stretch it out longer, given the cost.All in all, definitely recommend!!
