Specials: Country Life Bread at Woolworths - 2 for 1

Today I purchased two loaves of the Country Life Bread I love for the price of one. Score!

That's a saving of $5.68!

 

Better yet, they had one of the new varieties I had been wanting to try: Quinoa, Malt & Roasted Rye. They also had my new favourite,  Flaxseed Sunflower & Sourdough Rye 650g which tastes almost identical to the Soy Linseed bread I used to buy before I realised I was wheat sensitive. I took some of the Flaxseed, Sunflower & Sourdough Rye to my Mum's house and it was the first gluten free bread that she really enjoyed. In fact, everyone that has tried it has said that they would definitely eat it again.  Gluten-free bread has come a long way and with each new product by Country Life I'm getting spoiled for choice.

So what are you going to do with all that bread? 

Pick up some Glad Zip lock bags or sandwich bags and freeze two pieces of bread at a time. That way you can easily keep your bread fresh in the freezer for months and spend the money you saved on some other tasty gluten-free products you might not have tried before.

I love the new packaging. So easy to find my favourite variety which is colour coded purple. I decided to photograph the bread showing a couple of slices out of the pack. 
It tastes how bread should. The flax seed (linseed), sunflower and sourdough a great combination. The quinoa is darker in colour due to the malt. A photo soon to come.

Laucke Easy Bake Gluten-Free Meals & Grains bread mix

There is nothing better than home cooked bread. I just love getting it out of the oven and tasting some whilst it is still warm. Heaven! So when I visited Woolworths and found the Laucke Easy Bake Gluten-Free Meals & Grains bread mix I was really excited.


The packet weighs 1kg and includes two bags of 500 grams mix. Since I only have small loaf pans I decide to divide the mixture up and make half a batch. It came out to almost two level cups of bread mix to which I added 180ml of water at room temperature

And this is the result!

One of the best tasting breads I've ever eaten, gluten free or packed full of gluten. Next time I will use a larger bread tin and leave it to rise more but what it lacked in height it made up for in taste. I loved the kibbled corn and the addition of sesame seeds (not in the pack) really added to the texture of the bread. I have enough for three more small loafs or one and a half large one.


The only negative is that I can't stop myself from eating it! This bread is so nice to eat you'll have to hide it from yourself.
