I spent a weekend with my best friend recently whose 2 boys are autistic and she herself has multiple food allergies. The younger son is presently on a restricted diet with includes no gluten so she’s well versed in alternate diets. Before I came she excitedly told me she’d found a really good GF bread mix and her mother was whipping up a loaf in my honour. I can’t tell you how exciting this was. GF sandwich bread? A real peanut butter sandwich for little old me? YEEHAW!
Now seriously I’ve never been brave enough to try GF bread so I don’t have much to compare this to but Sisters Three Gluten Free white bread mix IS the schnizzle. Soft on the inside, crusty on the outside, sliceable and actually white coloured, I was in bread heaven. Seriously. The outside was crusty, which I didn’t actually love but gave some texture to my PB sammie and I have no complaints.
Lucky for me, when I returned home I found a bag of the mix tucked into my duffel and as I don;t have a full loaf pan, I thought I’d be swift and make ‘scones‘ by dropping the mix onto a greased baking sheet. While this turned out ‘okaaaaaaaaaay,’ I probably would have preferred anther PB sammie in the longrun. Like I said, they’re okay but I’d recommend baking it as a loaf in a pan. Then again, my best friend’s mother can turn out just about anything better than me so it may have just been that! I’m also not sure where my friend got this mix but I’m guessing the Punxsutawney Wal-Mart which has a surprisingly large selection of GF items in its own aisle. On this subject I say to Pittsburgh AGAIN, get with it already and stock more. If you stock it, we will buy.
Taste Factor: Excellent! Good texture, good taste, keeps well. The non-GF’ers loved it too.
Poopy Factor: I didn’t really like the crust on it and the mix uses Crisco which made my internal calorie counter have a stroke.
