I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger Today

I'm an Udi's fan.

I like their sandwich bread, I lurve me some of dem dere chocolate chip cookies, and their breakfast muffins are a fave when I need a quick breakfast or we're putting out a Sunday morning brunch.

So when I saw their new hamburger and hot dog buns, it was a no brainer...they went straight into my shopping cart.

We tried the hamburger buns one night for cheeseburgers and fries and the hot dog buns held our favorite sausage from Al Fresco...we love the Sundried tomato flavor!

I gotta say, for me, these buns are a let down.
Now I will follow that up by saying...for the past few years I've just gone without eating bread on my burger, brat, dog or sausage...so perhaps I've grown accustomed to eating them that way and the "bread" just didn't sit well with my stomach. The buns were a bit more dense than I expected, and that may have contributed to that "heavy" feeling in my stomach.

I guess I'm falling more in line with my philosphy of..."you don't HAVE to eat it just because it's offered in a GF option." It IS nice to know their are choices out there, but the next time I have a burger and desperately want the bun too...I'm gonna stick with the lighter, tastier version from Schar.

How do you eat your burgers and dogs?

Udi's Gluten Free White Sandwich Bread

I've tried a lot of GF breads over the past 2 years and every one of them was GREAT for its time.
I hadn't eaten bread in months so when I took my first bite of GF bread I thought it was HEAVENLY...it wasn't it was cardboard but dang it I was eating a PB & J and I didn't care that it tasted bad.

My bread taste buds have grown.
Actually, they revolted and now only settle for Udi's Gluten Free White Sandwich Bread. They may actually settle for any of the other Udi breads, but my local grocer only carries the White Sandwich Bread variety and in our quest to make GF living easy, I only buy what I can find in my grocer (or have them order for me).

This bread tastes like a good Italian bread. The crust is crispy and the bread doesn't crumble. I eat it toasted, don't know that I've tried it untoasted but it's just my sandwich preference.

My hub LOVES this bread. He's not GF but is concerned with cross contamination and supportive so if I've gotta eat it, he's at least gonna try it. ~grin~

I enjoyed Premium Harvest Corn Bread by Glutino before tasting Udi's while visiting my friend in Austin. It's another great GF bread option but in my opinion, only good toasted. Alas, Udi's won my heart. I even considered shipping some back home as I had never found it in my area. Lucky for me several grocers now carry it on a regular basis and at a cost comparison of $6.19 for Glutino and $4.79 for Udi's...taste and price win!
