Toasted with local goat cheese and freshly cracked pepper.

I pretty much ALWAYS toast GF bread, unless I just took it out of my

oven (or bread machine) and cooled it. Just smell the bread, and

check out that texture- don't be scared! it's yummy! I would

definitely toast it. I like it with butter or margarine, or goat

cheese, or cream cheese.... And I envy you your (relatively)

inexpensive price, heh heh...

I'm not a big fan of the texture, it's too dense for my liking.

However, the tomato basil bread make deliscious bread crumbs. We

use the bread crumbs to make Italian style breaded

chicken/flounder.

I'm with you on the texture! But what a GREAT idea for the leftovers I have in the freezer!! Breadcrumbs! Why didn't I think of that??? kathi in houston wrote: I'm not a big fan of the texture, it's too dense for my liking. However, the tomato basil bread make deliscious bread crumbs.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I did try a slice and while I like it, I can't say I love it.

But, it won't go to waste.

Re: Whole Foods Garlic and Tomato Basil Bread

Definitely toasted. I like to make mini pizzas out of it with a little marinara and mozzarella. It makes really good "seasoned" bread crumbs too. I also like to cube it, toast it, and use them as croutons in soups, chili and salads.Lori in ATL>> I finally broke down and drove to my local Whole Foods and purchased a loaf > of that Garlic and Tomato Basil bread that everyone is always talking about. > (I hope I have the name right).> > Can you tell me your favorite method of eating this bread?

I will warn you--it does *not* make very good grilled sandwiches.

It gets all soggy from the fillings.

I usually toast it first and have not had problems with it getting

soggy as a grilled cheese sandwich.. but it might depend on the

fillings you use.

oh, it would probably work fine for plain old grilled cheese. cheese

isn't terribly watery. The bread does really poorly when one

introduces saeurkraut, no matter how well drained.

I use the EnjoyLifeFoods ryeless rye bread for my sauerkraut sandwich

needs.
