Product Review: Udi’s Gluten-Free Whole Grain Bagels
Fanny Lococo
So, yeah, I sort of released a few cries of joy and immediately went over tot the Canyon Bakehouse Web site to order the latest products they were introducing to the gluten-free market. I skipped the Brownie Bites (for now) and ordered one pack each of the new Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Plain Bagels and Everything Bagels.

Not wanting to pass them by, we purchased a couple of baguettes to try them out, as we were unfamiliar with this particular bakery. Against the Grain is a dedicated gluten free bakery in Vermont, striving to produce the best artisan gluten free breads possible. Along with baguettes, they also produce bagels, rolls, pizzas, and pizza crust, based on tapioca flour, without the use of gums, and with all of the dairy and eggs used sourced from humanely raised hormone free farms. On their website, they do mention their awesome practice of recycling just about anything used in the production of their products, which especially endeared them to us. For anyone interested, they are presently looking to re-home several tons of crushed egg shells, with more coming every week. Any takers?
Our delicious gluten-free bagels are a soft, chewy treat everyone can enjoy! Dairy-free, soy-free, and nut-free, our Whole Grain Bagels are delicious any time of the day. Try them for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner (pizza bagel, anyone??).
Certified Gluten-Free - No Artificial Dyes or Flavors - No Dairy, Soy, Tree Nut, or Peanut Ingredients - 19g or more of Whole Grain per serving
Description: King Arthur Gluten Free Multi-Purpose Flour is made from a combination of rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and whole grain brown rice flour. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free manufacturing facility. It costs $7.95 for a 24 ounce box, although there is a reward club on the website where you can receive discounts .
Celiac.com 08/18/2020 - More than ever before, people with celiac disease are turning to certified gluten-free products. In the USA, gluten-free certification ratchets safety up a notch or two when compared with only the basic FDA labeling regulations.
Another thing that I really love about all Little Northern Bakehouse products is their liberal use of healthy ingredients, including whole grains, brown rice husks, and psyllium fiber. This translates to high fiber, healthy products, and each bagel has around 20% of the daily recommended value per bagel!
So, besides having captured the bagels that you remember falling in love with, they have also created a healthier version of them by packing them with fiber that is missing in so many gluten-free products. If you've been longing for a REAL bagel that also happens to be a healthier version of it, then Little Northern Bakehouse has got you more than covered!
Our Bagels should not be thawed on the counter top and then consumed! Since we do not use any preservatives in our products, our bagels will remain hard if you let them thaw. Make sure they remain in the freezer until you are ready to use them. Once you are ready to eat the, the preparation instructions are as follows:
I would love to hear what your gluten-free products are. There are so many on the market that we have not tried. Please feel free to leave links to your favorites in the comments section. This post is intended as a resource for anyone new to a gluten-free diet and others like me who are still learning their way around the gluten-free world.
This weekend, we enjoyed both of the loaves of bread. We used the bread for grilled cheese sandwiches, breakfast toast, and for turkey sandwiches for lunch. The bread holds together nicely and was liked by everyone. Really, the 7-Grain bread reminds me of a good whole-grain (wheat) bread served at a deli. I really think you could serve the 7-Grain bread to someone and they would not guess it was gluten-free. Score!!
Still, replicating the texture of typical bread is challenging. For this reason, gluten-free bread often has a bad reputation for being hard, dense, and crumbly. Many products are also low in fiber and contain large amounts of artificial additives.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), products can be labeled gluten-free only if they contain fewer than 20 parts per million of gluten, as this is the lowest level that can be reliably detected using scientifically validated methods (23).
When choosing a gluten-free bread, you may want to factor in its nutritional profile, its ingredients, and your intended use for it. If you are on a strict gluten-free diet, opt for products that are certified gluten-free by a third-party organization.

I didn't notice any health improvements, but I learned that cutting out gluten wasn't nearly as difficult as it seemed thanks to all the new gluten free products. A brand I particularly like is BFree Foods.BFree Gluten-Free Bread ReviewGluten-Free Bread with FiberCompared to other breads, BFree products have an impressive amount of dietary fiber, are free of sugar, eggs and dairy and thus vegan-friendly. The company is proud of their ingredients, which in addition to the usual tapioca starch, include a mix of fiber from peas, apples and potatoes and a blend of buckwheat and corn flours. Different products have different ingredient blends, and BFree sent our family a few products try.
Thank you for going to the time and expense to test all of these bagels! It's a shame that all of the commercial brands have gone to adding wheat proteins and wheat gluten. Just because they are low carb, does not mean they are healthy. After doing a lot of research about gluten, I have concluded that it has caused a lot of gut issues for a lot of people over the years. Of the recipes you tested, not one was a true boiled bagel. There is one recipe I love that actually is a gluten free, low carb boiled bagel. Boiling gives the density we miss from a real bagel. If you find time, maybe you can give this one a try too, and compare to those you have listed. Thanks once again for all that you do for the low carb community. -dietary-needs/gluten-free/aunt-rockye28099s-low-carb-1g-boiled-bagels/
We do NOT add flour (not one speck), nor vital wheat gluten (check the ingredient label on other sprouted grain breads including; Trader Joes, Killer Daves, Angel Bakehouse, Whole Foods, Alverado Street and Ezekial) nor do we add commercially derived yeast (again, check the labels) nor any of the other additives or "dough enhancers" found in nearly all other breads, sprouted or not. To our knowledge, this is the only sprouted whole grain bread on the market today made from 100% sprouted whole grains that has been naturally leavened resulting in a bread as digestible as it is amazingly delicious.
Shipping to all fifty states We love Wheat Montana's Organic Bronze Chief - we recommend and have been sprouting it for ten years for many of our sprouted, whole-grain breads, pita and muffins. This is a clean wheat that sprouts readily. Sprouting guarantees that the wheat you are buying has never been sprayed with "glyphosate". After all, wheat sprayed with glyphosate kills the grain so that it can never germinate. We prepare Bronze Chief organic wheat for digestion by soaking then "sprouting" the whole grain. Sprouting converts the wheat from a grain to something much more like a vegetable - wheat...
