Bread - the staff of life! Yet to some of us - it's a death sentence.
Last August, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. The endless trips to the bathroom, the pain, the bloating - it explains it all. EXCEPT how to deal with bread withdrawal.
There are mixes and frozen breads - but unless you like eating a brick covered in butter, there's just no comparison.
The gluten free cookies and pretzels and cakes are all tasty enough. But there is nothing that can compare to real bread.
Crusty French bread, chewy Italian bread, real New York bagels and my favorite from Bread with Appeal in Chicago - the Kalamata Olive bread are all on my permanently-given-up-for-Lent list. But that doesn't stop me from missing them.
If ANYONE knows of any real bread out there - PLEASE let me know. I've tried Udi's, Katz's, and every other gluten free brand out there BUT it's NOT real bread.
God, I sure miss bread...
