Though they discontinued Silver Hills Bakery brand of Gluten Free Bread, the company still makes Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread.
I frequently bake gluten-free, and sample hundreds of gluten-free foods every year. But I also eat wheat, which gives perspective when writing gluten-free reviews.
Nonetheless, I’m never seeking a replacement, or expecting a replica, but rather judging if the product is good, period. As for Silver Hills Bakery Gluten Free Organic Bread, I can firmly say it tastes, and also amazing in quality.
We had both their Sprouted Ancient Grain Wheat Breads and these Certified Gluten Free Breads on hand. It was fun to taste how different they were from one another. Also how good they each were in their own right.
Unlike their wheat loaves, the Silver Hills Bakery Gluten Free breads were dense, filling, smooth and tender. They had a very earthy flavor (likely from the blend of whole sorghum flour and psyllium husk) and worked perfectly as toast or for sandwiches. The Chia Chia has delightful hints of sweetness. The Omega Flax has more more pronounced undertones that hold their own against stronger flavors.
I loved that the Silver Hills Bakery Gluten Free Breads are made without any gums or starches. They’re made simply with the aforementioned whole sorghum flour and just a smattering of other all-natural ingredients. Unfortunately, perhaps due to the psyllium husk, the bread didn’t sit well for us. So we tended to eat it mostly as toast – just one slice in a sitting – or as coating. When ground into breadcrumbs and toasted, the Chia Chia makes an amazing healthy crust for oven-roasted eggplant!

I contacted Silver Hills today on Facebook. “We are sorry to share this Jessica, but we have had to make the difficult decision to discontinue our gluten free breads.” So disappointed.
That’s a bummer, and thanks for the update Jessica. They are still producing their affiliate brand though – Little Northern Bakehouse – which is gluten-free – http://www.godairyfree.org/product-reviews/little-northern-bakehouse-gluten-free-bread
That’s disappointing. I guess I won’t be able to buy Silver Hills Bread.
Have you stopped making your gluten-free bread? Every store that used to carry it said they can’t get it anymore !! If so, that’s a shame, it was one of the best.
Hi Winnifred, hopefully they haven’t! I’m not affiliated with Silver Hills (this is a third party review), but you can reach them here – https://silverhillsbakery.ca. Silver Hills also makes Little Northern Bakehouse, which is a gluten-free line of breads – http://www.godairyfree.org/product-reviews/little-northern-bakehouse-gluten-free-bread
Where can I find your gluten-free bread? No health food store in Boise is carrying it anymore May I order it directly from the bakery?
That’s a bummer Audrey. I’ve been having trouble finding it in my local area, too. Have you tried the store finder on their website? It’s here – https://silverhillsbakery.ca/where-to-buy/
