Gluten-free folks, gather ’round! The days of sad sandwiches are finally behind you. Here are 11 gluten-free bread brands that are legit delish —even die-hard bread lovers will be impressed.

The gluten-free bread of days past was just plain meh. Tiny, dry slices that were equal parts weird and sad. Oh, and a single loaf could destroy your food budget for the month. Ugh.

Thankfully, the breads they are a changin’.

We handpicked these standout gluten-free breads based on their ESP (Excellent Sandwich Potential):

  • Consistency: Soft and strong are key here, but in a totally different way than toilet paper (which TBH is what some gluten-free breads taste like).
  • Slice size: The slices should be about the same size as regular bread. We’re not here for puny panini!
  • Shelf life: We looked for loaves that don’t need to be frozen ASAP.
  • Flavor: We found options that match the taste of real bread.

FYI: Some of the breads on this list don’t meet every one of these criteria. But! Overall, each loaf is solid choice that seems to be well-loved by the gluten-free fam.
