Bread: Everybody Eats Deli Sandwich Rolls

This is the first in a series of reviews of gluten-free (celiac) products from Everybody Eats. The first time my wife and I experienced their product was at the 10th anniversary dinner for the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. They provided dinner rolls for the meal, which were excellent. It was funny because almost everyone at the dinner (mostly comprised of celiacs and their families) kept asking the wait staff if they really were gluten-free.

I was waiting until we moved back to New York City so I could experience their products first hand.

Pedro and Bruce make and bake their various gluten-free products in Brooklyn, New York and deliver them locally. I had mine shipped Fed-ex out to my in-laws house on Long Island. The Deli Sandwich Rolls come 6 to a bag for $12 or $2 per roll plus shipping.

Ordering isn't high tech, there's no shopping cart. You just email them and they call you back.

Taste:
Upon arrival I immediately threw one in the oven to toast it up (as suggested by the manufacturer). On with the Smart Balance and it tasted amazing. The crust was crunchy with the interior being unlike any other celiac bread product I've had before. Most celiac bread is dense, this was airy. My wife and mother-in-law both had one (as a sandwich) and they thought it was very similar to an actual deli roll. They have both tried some of the normal frozen celiac bread and thought this was extremely close to a normal roll.

My wife commented, "There was no lead-ball sitting in my stomach after eating a sandwich on these rolls."

Level of Realism:
Excellent, while they weren't as big as normal Kaiser rolls they were plenty big enough for a nice sandwich. The crunchy crust and delightful interior texture made each bite a special moment. Obviously the cost is not the same as non-celiac rolls, but as we all know most celiac food isn't cheap. My wife and I highly recommend their deli rolls.
