Flipping heck - I've just tried the gluten free bread called Genius and it's not half bad! About a gazillion times better than Gluafin rubbish and almost like ordinary bread - especially after 20 seconds refresh in the microwave.

Felt good after 3 years of no bread..!

I bought some this week after two gf people recommended it.

Reader, it was so good I made a sandwich and took it with me to work.

After 11 years GF, this is a first

oh good! hope i can source it ok, where's your's from?

Where where where?? <<dribble>>

I must admit I've got totally used to the Dietary Specials multigrain loaf now, refreshed in the microwave of course.

Tescos are the sole stockist I think.

I've been a DS multigrain eater for a long time. This is faar nicer. Twas still moist and uncrumbly at the end of a long day in my sandwich box

there's an offer on at the moment to get 50p off but you need to know the publication it was in. Any ideas?

yes, Tescos is the sole stockists and sorry not sure about 50p off voucher.

I've heard lots of Tescos are sold out but the big one at Portwood in Stockport has got it if you're anywhere near..!

all we need now are decent GF bagels/croissants/crumpets and we're there...

Great - now I'm contemplating an entire Tescos online shop just to satisfy my raging desire for 'proper' carbs

ooh, have you lot tried the Ener-G gluten free bread? I haven't tried the one you are talking about, will give it a go, but I use the Ener-G stuff and it's pretty good. Have to be careful not to accidentally pick up the brown rice loaf, which is still like a brick.

Big Waitrose shops stock it, apparently so do some Tesco stores but I've never seen it in Tesco.

Have just done online shop just for this. If tis true will change my life (DS coeliac starting school in September-was not looking forward to the packed lunch thing)

LadyG - the gf pitta breads are great for packed lunches too.

And can I recommend the and mixes&tsg=Bread Mix&ID=1008&prodinfo=true&prodID=1008&ThisCode=BRF001&showsg=Flours and mixes Brazilian cheese bread as a change ? It makes little cheesy rolls and is gorgeous. Makes a fab pizza base (soft and bendy and moist) too

I can't abide that EnerG bread TW

That Ener-G bread is an... acquired taste

I buy it for my dd as it has no egg or soya etc, and I am actually quite partial to it myself toasted but it is a tad odd!

ah well, it's so long since I had real bread that I don't mind it! DS likes it too.

So - this evening I got all the dc in bed, left dh in command and set off to Tescos... Scoured the gf shelf... To find the price tickets marked 'Genius' and a huge gaping empty hole where it was completely sold out

before I get too excited....

it's not one of those 'gluten-free' but made of wheat breads is it?

Nope! Get excited [disclaimer: haven't tried it yet] (but have googled it)

hurray!

now just have to find a place with some left!

CMOT dibbler thank you very much! I will try the cheese bread (DS is a cheese monster). And Noonki-I couldn't found it in our local Tescos and found it in only 1 of 3 Tescos we tried while on holiday in Pembrokeshire over half term but managed to score 2 loaves from Tesco online with no problems. It is fab. I have tried the recipe in her (Lucinda Bryce Gordon-woman behind Genius) allergy cookbook which is similar but it came out rather too doorstop-like. May go back and experiment with it a bit now-will post the recipe if I hit paydirt!

yup, finally found some. that's head and shoulders better than any other i've tried.

Finally tracked some down last weekend. OMG. Gorgeous! Had to fight the dc for it though!

I have been scanning the ingredients for some wondrous novel agent but - it all looks pretty standard gf bread ingredients... What witchcraft and trickery is this?
