Product Review: Schär Gluten-Free Baguettes

I recently co-chaperoned an exchange to France and was surrounded by baguettes.  I sat across the aisle on a train from a man who devoured an entire one over the course of our journey.  I think sometimes it would be easier to be gluten free if you had never eaten bread before.  That way, you didn't know the joy of biting into a baguette that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.  It is hard to replicate that consistency in a gluten free baguette.

However, Schär has created a product that is an excellent gluten free version of a French staple.  You bake their baguettes in the oven for 5 minutes on 400 degrees.  The texture is similar to a regular baguette, and they even pass GFF's hubby's discerning opinion of gluten free products.

If you are having a gluten free guest to lunch this summer, I recommend making a tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad (with olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and red onions if you like them) and serving it with a Schär baguette.  Everyone (even the gluten eaters) will love it!
