Bread:Food-Tek Enriched Minute White Bread Mix

Here's another review for Food-Tek. We made their wheat free, gluten free, trans fat free Enriched Minute White Bread mix. It's claim is that the bread is "fast & fresh" from your microwave. Fast and fresh indeed- but tasty??

It was one of those Saturday breakfasts and we were out of gluten free bread. I found this in the pantry and whipped it up in seconds.

As stated in my previous review of the corn bread, I dislike this brand because each "kit" contains a lot of plastic trays etc. that are needed to make the product. What happened is I made this once, then who knows what I did with the mold trays, but I didn't have them anymore. So I improvised with shallow Tupperware trays- which I don't like (we've been microwaving only in glass lately- but I couldn't locate those either). (Please note we were visiting my parents for the weekend- I'm not that disorganized!)

Well I wasn't expecting much other than plastic poisoning, but what emerged were 2 English Muffin-looking halves of bread. I released them and felt the need to toast them.
Once toasted, I created an egg and bacon sandwich for Rob.

The celiac safe but space age bread held together very well, but definitely had a sponge-like texture. The white bread was on the sweeter side and was a bit rubbery. Still it worked well in a pinch and allowed for a satisfying gluten free breakfast sandwich.

Rob did find they made a great egg and bacon sandwich, he thought he was at McDonalds.
