Tuna Fish Sandwich on BFree Gluten Free Bread
The gluten crowd takes bread for granted – they really do. White bread, whole wheat bread, sourdough bread, biscuits, rolls, croissants, bagels, English Muffins… they have so many delicious options everywhere they turn. I was in Wal-Mart a few days ago and the entire front of the store looked like a huge, glorious bakery. I’d recently been accidentally glutened (back to back, within 10 days of one another – MISERY), so I hot-footed it through the section, not wanting to take any chances of a random crumb dive-bombing me.
This end of the crumb spectrum is an entirely different ballgame. The gluten free crowd has a pretty ugly history when it comes to gluten free bread. … and I mean ugly in every sense of the word. Flavorless, stiff, dubious white slabs of something or another have long tried to pass themselves off as bread. A lot of us simply added great bread to the list of “we’ll never haves” – right next to great store-bought doughnuts.
I’d love to see a company pull that one off!
However, times… they are a’changing. More and more great gluten free bread is hitting the market and we have something we’d all but given up on… BREAD CHOICES!
I was recently sent some beautifully-packaged gluten free and wheat free bread loaves from BFree and they honestly made me realized how much I’d missed bread.
BFree Soft White Gluten Free Sandwich Bread
BFree doesn’t just have one great gluten free sandwich bread, they have two:
Brown Seeded Gluten Free Sandwich Loaf – Delicious bread made with a special blend of flours, starches, proteins and fibers with sunflower seeds and golden linseeds that give it a wonderful texture I quickly became obsessed with.
The BFree Brown Seeded Gluten Free Bread is unlike anything I’ve had in a very long time. It’s exceptionally flavorful and the texture is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
White Gluten Free Sandwich Loaf – The soft and perfect white sandwich bread is also made from a unique blend of flours, starches, proteins and fibers and has a “real bread” texture that’s very exciting to find. This bread is free from egg and dairy as well as gluten and wheat.
Both loaves are sliced lengthways to give a bigger and better sandwich slice – producing what I think of as “fancy-looking” sandwiches.
I can be quite the food snob sometimes.
These larger slices also make the most perfect French Toast, Garlic Toast, and Grilled Cheese sandwiches you ever had, too.
Neither of these breads taste like, “Gluten Free Bread,” they taste like, “Bread,” period. And isn’t that the point? They weren’t filled with holes, like they were going as Swiss Cheese to a Halloween party and they didn’t look like a pasty white tile my husband was fixing to use on the bathroom floor.
Look like bread. Taste like bread. EVEN smell like bread! If I sound excited, it’s because I am. The gluten free crowd takes nothing for granted – we’ve learned that lesson the hard way. If we tend to get worked up or uncommonly excited about certain food, it’s because finding something we can both eat and enjoy is cause for celebration.
BFree is obviously named for the fact that the consumer can “be free of” wheat and gluten. However, as far as I’m concerned, it carries a “double meaning” because it also allows the consumer to “be free from” restrictions we’ve had for so long. We can “be free” from settling for bread that tastes like anything BUT bread. We can be free from “wishing” for breakfast sandwiches on bagels or rolls with supper.
We can be free to eat a tuna fish sandwich (like the one my daughter, Emily, made in the picture at the top!).

The BFree Gluten Free Brown Seeded Sandwich Bread is absolute Heaven on a plate when used for chicken salad sandwiches. My mouth is watering right now just remembering what a delicious pair they made. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating – the flavor and texture of BFree gluten and wheat free breads are remarkable.
Maybe I just love pretties. Whatever the case, everything BFree does is exquisite.
