    Have you ever tried yogurt bread? Put a large tub of natural yogurt into a mixing bowl, then use the yogurt carton to measure out two tubs of gluten-free oats. Mix together with a teaspoon of bread soda and a little salt. Put into a silicone loaf tin, and into the oven for maybe 45 minutes. It's surprisingly tasty, turns out kind of like brown soda bread. And so fast and easy to make. You can also use different veggies/seeds/nuts/whatever to vary it a bit.

    Gas, the two suggestions I'd make have been added already!

    Firstly, this one is by far my favourite! The seeded one is great as a toasted sambo. Also the Lidl rolls are pretty good, although I realise you did say bread not rolls.

    We just discovered this last week. Absolutely AMAZING and supposedly (my wife says!:)) very easy to make. We added pumpkin and sunflower seeds to our second loaf and it was great!

    I'll have to try that yogurt bread! It sounds doable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    I found the aldi bread the nicest of all of them!
    Me too but I still wouldn't eat it without toasting it!

    Yeah, It's lovely toasted but just not nice at all for sandwiches for work!

    It'd be great to get proper big loafs of fresh gluten free bread. For example I was in a Supervalu recently and they had a big fresh bread section with corn bread loafs. I asked and was told that they couldn't gurantee it was gluten free because flour gets everywhere in the area they make the bread.

    It looked lovely :o

    Also - why are gluten free bread slices always miniature?!

    I had some of this last week... made by an aunt who generally choses GF and was raving about this recipe for homemade GF "bread". It was the texture and flavour of a concrete block. Would not recommend.

    "Our" first attempt wasn't as good as we (she!) didn't use GF Bread Soda to help it, but the second loaf was incredible! Lovely and crispy out of the oven, soft on the inside. Fantastic fresh and after a couple of days it's great toasted too. Miles better than most shop GF breads.

    Incidentally I just ordered from Tasty Parlour for the first time this week so will write back on here if worth recommending!

    Cactus Jacks restaurant in the Millenium Walkway have a surprising amount of gluten free dishes in the menu. For those of you who are looking for a protein hit, there are also many quest bars and oh yeah bars that are gluten free (and low in sugar if you're sensitive to sugar too, like me ☺️) Great thread 😃


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭alex.middleton


    Not sure if this has already been suggested but try the paleo duets the principles follow a guideline that should be perfect for you.

    Your welcome. It is really nice and love having melted cheese on it or crisps. I do think the packaging could be better do it should be resealable.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    New Aldi pizza is OK! €2.50 so great value compared to other frozen GF offerings. I prefer thin and crispy, so this base a bit doughy for me.

    Look forward to trying it, although I can highly recommend people avoid the Lidl one which is rank!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭g0g


    Yeah they only started stocking them in the past couple of weeks. Very plain boxes, one yellow and one red. Pepperoni or margherita are your options. They're to be avoided anyway!!!

    Same as Aldi ones, wonder if it's same stockist. I really like the goodfellas ones, never tried schar range.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 CB1992


    You should download the Pointy app, it helps you find products locally. They have loads of really good gluten free foods!

    Our 8yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and now coeliac. Anyone else here with both as I was looking at some Gluten free food in Aldi and a lot seems high in sugar, is this the case with most?

    Sadly yes, most producers seem to replace gluten with sugar! Even in items such as bread. I can't offer advice in terms of the diabetes but I do cook and bake most of our food to ensure its gf


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 486 ✭✭Jjjjjjjbarry


    I like the Lidl gluten free pizza. I hate the goodfellas one. Just to throw another opinion out there! Have spotted the new Aldi Carlos one but haven't tried it yet. Dunnes do a really nice one too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16 whatthefurry


    I use Jamie Oliver's pizza dough recipe- sorry I can't post an attachment but google Jamie and his basic pizza dough recipe

    But substitute Odlums bread flour for both the flours in that recipe, also it makes a huge amount so I usually halve the recipe and that is enough for three large adult pizzas.

    I make my own simple tomato sauce which i have been making for years about once a week anyway for pastas, other dishes which is always in the fridge- doubt anyone needs a recipe but basically sweat an onion, add minced garlic, add two cans chopped tomatoes ( or passata, whatever is in the cupboard), some basil, I like oregano too, about one large table spoon balsamic vinegar, and cook for maybe 20 mins, then whizz up with hand blender and into a kilner jar for when required. Btw, if you like your sauce sweeter, add sugar to taste, I try to avoid but then I like it more tart anyway.

    I usually make the tomato sauce earlier in the week, it literally takes five minutes to throw stuff into the saucepan. Then for a Sunday treat, pizzas and whatever topping you like. I like veggie toppings but we also have a meat lover in the house and a tuna fiend, so end up with one margarita with lots of sliced mushrooms and peppers ( I use grated mozzerella cheese from Aldi), one with salami and whatever meat is in the fridge and one with tuna/creme fraiche/chives.

    Just tried the supervalu gf pepperoni pizza, as frozen pizzas go it was really good! It's a soft base but very tasty

    Lidl have a new one also that is the same brand as some of their other 'normal' pizzas. It was alright...I may have overcooked it though :o

    the GF goodfellas one is great.

    Bluewolf seconded on the Lidl pancakes, they are delicious. Lidl's caramel squares are really moreish. I don't buy them anymore cos I'd finish the packet in one go .

    Hi Guys, is there any Glutten Free app that can scan products in Ireland to show you if they are Glutten free ?

    Any response appreciated

    Hi whiz, I know the coeliac society of Ireland used to publish a book every year listing certified gluten free foods. I wouldn't be surprised if they have an app by now. Maybe try their site or send them an email.
    As far as I recall you had to buy it at the time, but there was no labelling for gf back then so it was worth it.

    Take a look at this link. You might find something useful.

    https://www.glutenfreeliving.com/gluten-free-foods/shopping-gluten-free/top-10-gluten-free-apps/

    I reckon the maintenance of apps like like this would be a nightmare for the developers i.e. you'd have to make sure the data was always up to date.

    As the previous poster said the Coeliac society publishes a book which gets updated over time. But I think even that is not always up to date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭g0g


    The request for an Irish app is an ongoing saga - see here for latest update from the society. (not happening anytime soon!)

    Yes as other posters have said we do still have the option of a yearly book, but it's not handy to find things in it quickly.

    The UK society do actually have an app. You can join them and use that here, but I'm guessing it won't have Irish Supermarket own-brand stuff (plus some Irish brands), plus I'm sure there'll be the odd exception that might be manufactured in a different environment in Ireland or something like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,108 ✭✭✭Jellybaby1


    Main problem for the Coeliac Society I believe is the membership is small compared to the membership of the UK society and as we all know the UK is a much better place financially for medical services. We just don't have the numbers here to pay for it and the Irish Government have little interest in assisting Coeliac sufferers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭dibkins


    The CSI have this years book out this week or next i think.
    I agree with their assessment of an app, something like that is a whole lot more work than just throwing a simple app together, and having it give advice in the treatment of a medical condition opens you up to a whole lot of extra work and upkeep. A digital copy of their database would be really handy though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,108 ✭✭✭Jellybaby1


    The book is pretty good but no way can it be up to date at all times. It boils down to Coeliacs being knowledgeable about gluten and its many hiding places and also being extra vigilant at all times. That can be a pain but we get used to that unfortunately, we have to.

    Hi

    I make porridge bread and find that it does not cause any issues for coeliacs. I also add some fruit to the mix to spice it up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 423 ✭✭whiz


    Hi Guys, do Kelloggs sell any gluten free cereals in Ireland ? Any response appreciated.

    Also I see do some people eat ordinary cornflakes ? .i.e. I see on some corn flakes products are made up of 96% corn and 4% barley extract


  • Registered Users Posts: 616 ✭✭✭Jrop


    No whiz but you buy Go Free GF Cornflakes by Nestle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    I buy the aldi GF Cornflakes and sometimes the rice crispies.. they're good!

    Aldi web publish a list of their gluten free products

    The present one is at

    https://cdn.aldi-digital.co.uk/dEII9D$ktt@Rfc22ZwQZkuL2F0I.pdf

    As it changes with time it is as well to check for updates every so often. Also, read the ingredients & labeling before buying as a cross check.

    Has anyone found a similar list from Lidl ?

    I've seen one for their Iberian stores but so far not for Ireland / UK


  • Registered Users Posts: 423 ✭✭whiz


    That's a really good list from Aldi, do any other supermarkets do a similar list ? e.g. Marks and Spencer's, Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Lidl, Supervalue etc

    Any responses appreciated

    The Aldi Zilch bread is quite nice. I managed to obtain a loaf of bread made by a company called Honest in SuperValu in Athlone possibly the nicest bread I have tasted. They are based in Roscommon so should be available in that area.

    Not the same as gluten free, just be aware of that.
    M&S have a similar extensive list. Again however, not strictly GF by definition, so up to you.
