The Best New Bread

I've long touted Tenzo Artisan Bakery in Baltimore as well, awesome. We actually stumbled upon that bakery in Baltimore when we were looking for a gluten-free wedding cake, and were utterly amazed from the first taste. One of the highlights of my life was eating as much cake as we possibly could in a 24-hour period on our first anniversary. We'd saved wedding cake for the occassion, and brought it with us on our trip to Savannah and Charleston. It had buttercream frosting though, and we didn't have a fridge, so we had 24 hours to eat or toss. So we ATE. For dessert, then breakfast, then lunch, then dinner. It was glorious. Everyone should be in that situation at least once.

So when I came upon Breads by Anna (the owner/head baker of Tenzo) at Roots in Columbia, MD I was immediately curious. I've been a pretty big fan of Sweet Sin's sandwich bread for some time, and like most celiacs, I can tend to be wary of trying something new "gluten-free" once I've found something I like. Gluten-free stuff isn't cheap, so if you don't like it, you feel like you wasted a lot of money.

Well, I went out on a limb, bought the bread, and never looked back.

It was AMAZING.

Finally, a gluten-free bread that tastes like bread. Whole wheat bread, even. It has a rich, nutty flavor, and it's good for you. Her recipe includes all kinds of awesome nutty flours. It's even rice-free and soy-free, too!

I ate a turkey sandwich for lunch, then dinner, then lunch the next day, and I had a grilled cheese last night. And gosh darn it, I think I'm going to have one for breakfast now too.
