More gluten free delights from the team at Udi’s
New Udi’s gluten free products
Aaah. There’s always something totally ace about coming back from lunch and finding a hamper from Udi’s sitting on your desk.
Since we first heard of Udi’s last year, the US brand has slowly been introducing new gluten free products to the range. And we were chuffed to try some different Udi’s products.
We’ve tried Udi’s raisin and cinnamon bagels before which were absolutely yummy. So we had high hopes for the sun dried tomato ones – and they didn’t disappoint. In fact, I’d go as far to say that Udi’s are the best brand for bagels. These are moist, springy and tasty. The OH had one with bacon and I had mine with cream cheese. Delish.
Udi’s bagel chips are always a winner. They’re super crunchy so don’t take them to the library or cinema as a snack. Udi’s gluten free multiseed bread is very good too. The slices are smaller than – say – Genius loaves, so they’re not ideal for sarnies. But this loaf is perfect for toast. And as it’s multiseed it’s really tasty and filling. I had a couple of slices with homemade jam for breakfast, which was a great way to start the weekend.
Something else that was in our hamper was Udi’s all purpose pastry mix which, I’ll be honest, we haven’t even tried yet. But our nice friends at Udi’s sent us a brilliant recipe that we’re definitely going to try.
