Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread includes Loaves, Buns, and Bagels

According to the rumors, Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread has such an amazing texture that it doesn’t need to be toasted. Needless to say, I was eager to try this allergy-friendly line out, and see if it really was true. This seems like a big feat for bread that’s not only made without gluten, but also dairy, nuts, and soy!

Tasting Notes for Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread  Loaves, Buns, and Bagels

I had to freeze most of our Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread when it landed because I’d ordered several different varieties. So technically, we didn’t get to try it completely un-toasted. But I only lightly heated it and found the texture quite appealing and very, dare I say, bread like. It was tender rather than chewy, while being soft and crisp in all the right spots. When it cooled fully, there was just a hint of that gummy gluten-free consistency, but not enough to be very noticeable when used for sandwiches or slathered with a spread.

When I tried these products, Canyon Bakehouse was just beginning to experiment with stay-fresh packaging. They now offer a few loaves with this packaging, which keeps the bread fresh for up to 90 days before opening. If you choose a loaves without the fancy packaging, don’t worry, they freeze well!

I’ve included full details and tasting notes below for the Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread varieties that we tried, followed by a quick list of the other varieties available. Please do leave your own rating and review below if you try any of them.

Mountain White (pictured above)

I’m a whole grain fan, but this loaf was impressive right out of the shoot. It made great sandwiches, and had a pleasant, mild flavor that was just rich enough and slightly rustic. Tony agreed that it was a hands down winner.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, whole grain sorghum flour, organic agave syrup, cane sugar, extra virgin olive oil, contains less than 2% of xanthan gum, eggs, egg whites, yeast, sea salt, cultured brown rice flour, vinegar (organic cane sugar vinegar), enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 90 calories, 1.5g fat, 16g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 2g protein.*

7-Grain

From the name, I had expected this to be my hands down favorite, but the flavor was rather flat. It also had slight bitter after-notes. It wasn’t bad, but didn’t have the natural, nutty sweetness I usually enjoy with whole grains.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, whole grain sorghum flour, organic agave syrup, cane sugar, whole grain millet, eggs, xanthan gum, contains less than 2% of extra virgin olive oil, yeast, whole grain teff, egg whites, whole grain quinoa, molasses, whole grain amaranth, cultured brown rice flour, sea salt, vinegar (organic cane sugar vinegar), whole grain buckwheat flour, enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 90 calories, 1.5g fat, 16g carbs, 1g fiber, 2g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 2g protein.*

Deli Rye

To preface, I do not like rye bread. And as it turns out, I don’t really like caraway seeds, which are the prominent spice used hear to give it that authentic taste. If you like rye, then this could be your gluten-free, dairy-free holy grail for making Reubens.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, whole grain sorghum flour, xanthan gum, extra virgin olive oil. contains less than 2% of eggs, egg whites, dried buckwheat sour (buckwheat, quinoa, starter culture), organic agave syrup, whole caraway seed, ground caraway seed, cane sugar, sea salt, yeast, cultured brown rice flour, whole black caraway seed, vinegar (organic cane sugar vinegar), enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 90 calories, 1.5g fat, 16g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugars (includes 1g added sugars), 2g protein.*

Cinnamon Raisin

Due to the higher moisture content in this sweeter, more indulgent loaf, it did have a little more of that slightly chewy gluten-free bread texture. It was fairly good overall, but I felt like it needed a touch more salt to bring out the cinnamon and savory notes rather than letting the raisins carry so much of the flavor burden.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, raisins, tapioca flour, whole grain sorghum flour, organic agave syrup, eggs, xanthan gum, extra virgin olive oil. contains less than 2% of cane sugar, egg whites, sunflower seeds, yeast, cinnamon, sea salt, cultured brown rice flour, enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 90 calories, 1.5g fat, 16g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugars (includes 1g added sugars), 2g protein.*

Plain Bagels (pictured below)

These things are crazy monsters! They’re jumbo sized, with an appearance, texture and taste that is more akin to crusty French bread than traditional bagels. They’re hearty on the outside with a perfectly chewy middle and pleasant bread-y flavor. Different, yet very easy to like. My only qualm was how they were sliced too close to the tops. The bottoms were so thick that they wouldn’t fit in my toaster! I would prefer that this Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free bread product was sold un-sliced, instead.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, whole grain sorghum flour, cane sugar, extra virgin olive oil, contains less than 2% of egg whites, cultured brown rice flour, xanthan gum, yeast, sea salt, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, potato flour, mono calcium phosphate), vinegar (organic cane sugar vinegar), enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 250 calories, 4g fat, 50g carbs, 1g fiber, 4g sugars (includes 4g added sugars), 4g protein.*

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

These are big, like the Plain, but have a lightly sweet vibe. They offer whole grain flavor with no bitterness and generous amounts of plump raisins. We enjoyed the nice bagel “chew,” which was a bit more chewy than wheat-based bagels. That said, they are definitely best when toasted.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, raisins, potato starch, cane sugar, non-gmo expeller pressed canola oil, contains less than 2% of whole grain sorghum flour, xanthan gum, egg whites, cultured brown rice flour, yeast, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, potato flour, mono calcium phosphate), sea salt, cinnamon, enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 250 calories, 4g fat, 51g carbs, 2g fiber, 14g sugars (includes 5g added sugars), 3g protein.*

Blueberry Bagels

This flavor was the sweetest of the bunch, but not sugary, with generous bites of tender, sweet blueberries. It had that same nice bagel chew and was delicious with dairy-free cream cheese alternative. In fact, it was a bit of a treat!

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, cane sugar, dried blueberries (blueberries, cane sugar), non-gmo expeller pressed canola oil, contains less than 2% of xanthan gum, egg whites, cultured brown rice flour, yeast, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, potato flour, mono calcium phosphate), sea salt, natural flavor, vinegar (organic cane sugar vinegar), enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 250 calories, 4g fat, 51g carbs, 2g fiber, 9g sugars (includes 9g added sugars), 3g protein.*

Hamburger Buns

On the contrary to the bagels, these buns are a bit small. They’re certainly more than tall enough, but our burgers spilled over on all sides of these girdled buns. They were okay, not quite as tasty as the Mountain White and Bagels, but it would be great if they were allowed to fatten up a bit, spreading, rather than rising so high. Tony said he still preferred my homemade dairy-free, gluten-free buns, but if the sizing was fixed on these buns, they would be a whole lot easier than homemade when we get a random burger craving.

Ingredients: water, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, cane sugar, non-gmo expeller pressed canola oil, contains less than 2% of eggs whites, xanthan gum, yeast, cultured brown rice flour, sea salt, eggs, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, potato flour, mono calcium phosphate), enzymes. contains: egg

Nutrition (per slice): 200 calories, 3g fat, 39g carbs, 2g fiber, 5g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 4g protein.*

The first “bagel” in the vacuumed sealed pouch was actually a hockey puck disguised as a bagel. That’s how stale it was. The quality control for slicing was also terrible!! Not one bagel was sliced even close to in the middle. I had to perform a little “surgery” before it was even usable. I’ll NEVER purchase your product again. “Once bitten…twice shy.”

OMG< are you kidding me???I've been eating gluten products and just recently decided to try gluten free along with my new, eating 6 times a day small portions, and I COULD NOT believe the flavor when I lightly toast the 7 grain bread, the taste was AWESOME, less filling (gladly), and so satisfying! I was shocked how small the loaf was, but it makes better health sense! We all need to start eating smaller and more often and balanced. It is a little pricey, if they could bring it down a bit, I would buy more often. Thank you Canyon, your my new best friend!!!!

The best bread I’ve found so far! My favorite is the Deli Rye and then 7-grain.

I buy Deli Rye and Mountain White and both are wonderful–I couldn’t ask for better. The Deli Rye satisfies my taste buds with its caraway flavor; I toast it and lightly butter it. I’m looking forward to trying some cream cheese and lox on it. The Mountain White is just like a rustic, homemade white bread. So far I’ve used it in place of a burger bun–just delicious. My fussy husband even loves it.

We were dazzled by the perfect bread-like taste and texture of the Mountain White, and pleasantly intrigued with the Plain Bagels, that were more like a good crusty French bread than the typical breakfast tradition. The others were good, with pluses and minuses as noted in our full review here.
