Rudi's Gluten-free Bread, coupon code, and ideas!

I received a loaf of Rudi's multigrain gluten-free bread from the nice folks in their marketing department. I have actually been eating this bread since it became available in the King Sooper's close to my home, about a month ago, but needless to say I was psyched to receive a loaf in the mail.

Side note: Rudi's is running a campaign right now to spread the word on Celiac disease. They are making a $1 off coupon available and donating a dollar to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) for every coupon downloaded. The goal of NFCA is to better educate physicians in diagnosing celiac's disease, so this is a great cause!

Here's a link to the coupon code:

And now... back to the review! :)

When I pulled a slice out and smelled it, it reminded me of that really soft potato bread that my mother used to buy when I was younger, before it was off limits. Needless to say, the smell made me hopeful and I took a bite. The bread is not your typical 'cinder-block' loaf that we celiacs have been forced to call bread for so many years. It had a really nice, hearty mouth feel while still being soft and the taste was really good, too. Whiel it is great on its own, I have found the Rudi's multigrain bread to be a great vehicle for whatever I have put on it:

As Bruschetta - top with the following and zap in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes:

1. Olive oil, grated garlic, herbs d'provence

2. Blue Moose Sundried tomato pesto, fresh mozzarella slices and olive oil - bake until mozzarella is just beginning to brown on edges and bubble.

3. Mash a handful of figs with about a TBSP of butter and top with a slice of prosciutto

Other Ideas

4. lightly toasted (so it's just warm and really soft) with nutella - reminds me of chocolate donuts so this is a particular favorite of mine as far as treats go.

5. toasted with almond butter


MMMMMMMM!

Enjoy!
