Schar Mutilgrain Bread

After my near meltdown at Whole Foods, part of which was due to price, I started looking into other options. At Whole Foods I purchased a loaf of Udi's Gluten Free bread. It was very small and pricey at $6.99 for the loaf. I tried it and even though it wasn't as moist and tasty as my usual Orrowheat MultiGrain bread, it was something I knew I could continue eating and enjoy. The issue that continued to linger was the price, so I began to check out other options.

While at Fresh and Easy I decided to check out their Gluten Free selection. Its not huge but it has some of the basics. The only loaf of Whole Grain bread they had was the one you see pictured below. The loaf looked at bit larger and the price was a little over $2 less then the Udi's brand, so I figured I would give it a try.

The verdict... I will pay the extra $2 for the Udi's brand. While the loaf was a bit larger it was dry. Dry, dry and oh yes, dry. SO dry that most of the slices left in the little container it comes in wont come out whole. They are too crumbly to remove in one piece. The flavor is pretty dull too. The one difference I will note is that the Udi's brand is kept frozen in store while the Schar brand can be found on the shelf. Schar does make a frozen version of this bread that I hope to try. Maybe that will make the difference. Until then, I will give the Schar Gluten Free Multigrain Bread a C- for the moment. I plan to start making my own bread at home but until then I will pay the extra money for the better bread.
