I was out of town and running low on my Udi’s gluten-free sandwich bread, so I decided to pick some up while I was away. I visited a Whole Foods in Napa, California, but I couldn’t find Udi’s. I examined several other gluten-free loaves, hoping to find a light, airy bread similar to Udi’s, but most were quite dense. Then I discovered Rudi’s gluten-free bread and thought, “This is light!” I didn’t use it immediately; instead I put it in my sister’s freezer and brought it home with me. I kept using my Udi’s until one day I finally tried the Rudi’s bread. The texture surprised me — it was just like regular white bread. The photo below shows how it looked. I used it to make a savory chicken salad sandwich, and it was excellent.
