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

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!

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

before I get too excited....

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

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

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

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!
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

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)
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.

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

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...
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Thu 21-May-09 21:30:03
there's an offer on at the moment to get 50p off but you need to know the publication it was in. Any ideas?
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

I must admit I've got totally used to the Dietary Specials multigrain loaf now, refreshed in the microwave of course.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Thu 21-May-09 21:18:03
Where where where?? <<dribble>>
oh good! hope i can source it ok, where's your's from?
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 grin

Flipping heck - I've just tried the gluten free bread called Genius and it's not half bad! grin 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..!
