Bread Product

It would be Kinnikinnick. Oh, those crafty Canadians and their delicious gluten-free bread products.

I first met Kinnikinnick through their bread mix. After reading amazing reviews, I took the plunge and went for an entire case of Kinnikinnick Kinni-Kwik Bread & Bun Mix, from Amazon. I was not disappointed. Some excellent features:

1. You only need to add water. If, like me, you have a hard time keeping milk and eggs in your house without rotting, an ingredient list of "water" is ideal. Sure, you can get fancy and use milk or soymilk or ricemilk, but water works just as well.
2. It's so easy to make. The directions pretty much read: Open package, Add water, Mix, Pour into pan. Just like the Tastybake oven, but with bigger, and fluffier, results.
3. You can make as much as you want. You can make one bun or an entire loaf.
   
4. The resulting bread is springy and delicious. After an hour of baking, your whole house smells like bready goodness, and the result doesn't disappoint. The bread is springy with a firm crust, slightly sweet, and airy. I have no idea how they do it. There is nothing like bread, hot from the oven, with melty butter.

My only recommendation is to not make too much. It molds quickly. Just saying.

Then, when I was in Florida, visiting my aunt and uncle, I met the pre-made bread. The Italian White Tapioca Rice Bread, to be specific. Somehow Naples, FL is a hotbed of gluten-free products. We had delicious BLTs for lunch and the bread:

• Did not fall apart
• Was as good as the mix
• Toasted perfectly

The only negative is that Kinnikinnick is a little hard to find in the neighborhood, and I live in New York City. I would offer to open up a Kinnikinnick store, but maybe in the meantime, Whole Foods could just stock their stuff?

Also, I just found the new Kinnikinnick blog, featuring... doughnuts! Dreams do come true! I'll tell you all about them as soon as I get some.
