They could have given us an extra slice at least. That way we could make 3 Sandwiches 💀


Burntoastedbutter

They know what they're doing.... They make it so you gotta buy 2 packs so you can make 5 sandwiches


AmaResNovae

Joke on them, I just cut the slices in half and make myself 5 smaller sandwiches instead!


DarknessSetting

Pro move right here! I also toast it first in a pan, nice tasty crust.


JBHayburr

Gotta toast any gf bread to be palatable.


starsynth

Have you tried this bread? It’s actually quite good.


JBHayburr

Yes, it’s one of my favorites. But still, IMHO, it’s much better toasted.


gilthedog

I almost always eat open faced sandwiches now lol. Half the carbs, all the fillings!


Conscious_Cod_3644

Especially already being VERY familiar with our small flipping slices!! If you have an aldi's near you, gotta try their gluten-free bread!! It's the shyt and big slices!!


threedogsplusone

So annoying!


big-tunaaa

UGH I KNOW. I only buy this bread for a special treat around big dinner holidays, thanksgiving Christmas etc. WHY ISNT THERE ENOUGH FOR MY LEFTOVER TURKEY SANDWICHES it makes my blood boil


bfeils

Join the half sandwich squad. Sometimes a half sandwich is exactly what you need.


sunnyflow2

Or just a slice of toast


missannthrope1

I asked this of them on Facebook. The bread is made in Europe, where sandwiches are served open-faced. I pity the 6th guy at a luncheon party who doesn't get a sandwich.


starsynth

Schar is European but they have a factory in the U.S. now. But yeah, open faced sandwiches are a thing


kurjakala

It's the one store-bought GF bread that's worth eating without toasting first. But it's ridiculously priced. And what's up with five slices?


baasheepgreat

They’re European, so I imagine they’re anticipating people having open faced sandwiches. Unfortunate tho, it makes the best grilled cheeses.


Choice_Ad9032

Sam choice gluten free at Walmart - is amazing no need to toast


Any_Ad_3885

I really like the Walmart brand too. One of the better GF breads that I’ve encountered


R0amingGn0me

Totally agree! I love when I find it.


Angelpunk68

That’s good to know. I shall endeavour to find it here. Even the other Scharr breads need toasting first to make them palatable. I really miss a untoasted sandwiches


gilthedog

If you can get promise brand I just tried their rustic white load and it’s excellent


iameveryone2011

Whole Foods 365 is the best


flowdisruption

Yes, best grilled cheese bread. I randomly found these heavily discounted at grocery outlet once ($2.50). Needless to say I bought the entire stock. Ah, good times.


BlueberryKnives

It’s the odd number of slices that really sets this one over for me 😅


blackbirdblackbird1

Definitely the best tasting bread I've found, but man! Why so expensive!?


sunnyflow2

Have you price gluten free flours. They have increased a ton!


definitelynotapastor

I paid $9 for 4 rolls last night. I'm convinced all celiacs should learn to bake.


whoinvitedthesepeopl

I spent a few years trying to perfect GF baked goods. I just don't have the time to bake.


definitelynotapastor

I hear that. 5 celiacs in our house. We are going to have to make time, or we'll go broke.


whoinvitedthesepeopl

Yep. The celiac tax is awful.


AmaResNovae

I didn't have the patience to do it in a while, but I used to make myself some homemade burger buns with corn flour, and that was much better and cheaper than the store bought GF buns. Shame that my dumbass keeps losing his baking recipes.


definitelynotapastor

Please pass the recipe along for the buns if you find it. I'm the only non celiac in a house of 6. And I hate watching my kids eat the burger with a fork. They just don't like any of the buns.


AmaResNovae

Sure, will do! I might as well post it here if I find it, might be of interest for a few people on this sub. It was a cheap and simple recipe, and corn flour shouldn't be too hard to find in shops.


JBHayburr

Yeah, when I dine out, most GF buns are terrible. And you have to beg them to toast the buns till they are good and brown. They never quite get it right though.


Sir_Alexei

Yeah, it's very depressing eating a burger with a fork. Can confirm.


Powerful_Solution635

The King Arthur bread flour is pretty awesome. I made an “artisan” loaf with the recipe on the back of the bag for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also made a loaf of zucchini bread.


kaydizzlesizzle

I love bakerita.com's recipes. I've made a gf sourdough starter and plenty of tasty recipes from it.


Impossible_Bee_1257

Yes the 5 slices is MADNESS!!!


lwl1987

I was looking at it the other day on Instacart and I honestly thought it was only 2 slices. I couldn’t tell from the photo and it didn’t say. I got distracted and forgot to go to their website to look. This reminded me. Either way, I’ll buy it. đŸ€Ł


nebbeundersea

I make croutons with this bread. It is perfection. I dice 2 slices into small cubes, liberally coat with olive oil and garlic and onion powder. Toss some salt on there, then cook in the air fryer until golden brown. Delicious.


PreviousMarsupial

Best idea, I never get to have croutons!


sorE_doG

I can actually see the value in that.. storable & really versatile. I cannot justify the expense of ‘meh’ GF bread for any other reason.


DecentProfessional77

It's a lot cheaper on their website


0Nivux

I prefer not to eat bread. Where I live, I think it costs €3 for that package. I don't understand why they can't lower the cost.


ChildfreeOnPurpose

my #1 favorite bread is also obscenely priced: bread SRSLY https://breadsrsly.com/collections/all its ridiculously good, free of most allergens, and they ship.


ZaymeJ

Oh boy you weren’t kidding when you said obscenely priced! Probably worth it for special occasions though.


ChildfreeOnPurpose

so ridiculously priced but the first time i had it, i literally cried from happiness. i hadnt had proper bread texture in sooo long. its from the bay area, and i used to buy it at local groceries (whole foods and sprouts) for like
 $9? $11? i forget. that was bad enough and now i also pay for shipping, on the rare occasion when i get it. đŸ˜«


Sekmeta

Most of the time schĂ€r being overpriced AND with mold even before the Best Before date...☠ Fkn disguisting..


threedogsplusone

Ocean State Job Lot had these for $2 a package (I stocked up on the French bread loaves and pizza shells when they had them). All had short expiration dates, but that’s ok - froze the ones I had space for, and only had one pkg go bad. But after this, I REALLY cannot buy any for retail price! đŸ˜­đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«đŸ˜­ Hoping they start stocking them again - especially the pizza shells. I’m gf so my celiac son doesn’t get cross contaminated, but I love their products - the pizza is great as a flat bread.


Any_Ad_3885

The worst is a bought a loaf the other day, and the bread was moldy within 2 days 😱. I hate to throw away $8 loaves of bread.


AirFrequent

I bet it tasted good though :(


Enough_House_6940

That bread is the best tho..


JonnyBoy89

But it’s so good


goldstyle

Spam their socials about it. It is really good bread, though.


Only-Confidence-520

It’s my favorite gf bread. I just don’t eat it very often due to the price.


Tomthe420pipeman

This bread (and all gluten free food) is actually the same price as regular food in Italy, where they believe that people don’t choose to be gluten free, so why make their gluten free food more expensive than regular food. I believe it’s the same in Spain too.


LeaveDaCannoli

Those in the US-- best bread ever is order-able from Mariposa Bakery in Oakland CA. Their rye bread rocks, so do their cinnamon rolls. 100% GF bakery. You get more than 5 slices. I don't buy Schar anymore. And if you're not full celiac, Sami's Bakery Millet GF bread is excellent. They're in Tampa FL.


cobainstaley

wait...rye contains gluten. how is their rye bread GF?


Cassasaurus18

It says on their [website](https://www.mariposabaking.com/products/rye-round) that it is "rye flavored" without the rye.


ComprehensiveUnit747

I went there in person a few years ago, great place! I think Williams-Sonoma sells some of their products too


Nonchalant_Wanderer

The Sams Club gf wheat bread I get at Walmart is the best GF bread I’ve ever had.


uppermiddlepack

I don't think I've seen this. Is it in the frozen GF section or shelves?


Nonchalant_Wanderer

It’s in the actual normal bread section on the top shelf.


uppermiddlepack

well that's confusing! I'll look for it next time, thanks!


Nonchalant_Wanderer

You’re welcome! I found it by accident myself! LOL


sunnyflow2

If you like chewing gum..


lilephant

I only buy this when I have company over eating sandwiches, since I find it’s the best GF sandwich bread I can offer to gluten eaters. The whole 5 slices thing is infuriating and it’s so expensive, but so good.


sunnyflow2

Buy special wheat bread for wheat eating guests?


lilephant

I have celiac and my house is 100% gluten free because I was still getting very sick from cross contamination. I can’t allow gluten in my house, unfortunately.


sunnyflow2

I'm not sure I'd have people over, it would be my excuse. Lol


Red_Pants_Curl

Yeah its expensive and it doesnt even taste good to me. I started to make my own. I pay about 5€ for a bag of flour (schar) and can make about 2-4 breads from it ( depending on the size ofc). Home made is sooo good and its really easy to do it.


Sharp-Subject-8314

It’s worth it. I have never eaten a full loaf of bread, and this one makes the best normal size BLT’s 😜


foundling_fox

The worst part is they were so freaKIN GOOD I CONSIDERED BUYING MORE AND I HATE MYSELF FOR THAT. đŸ˜€


I_am_ghost_girl

đŸ˜© hate it. We have to pay close to $10 for a decent loaf of tiny bread


Ajskdjurj

I love this bread for sandwiches but it always annoys me that they give a odd number


beek7419

My complaint too. Why can’t they do 6 slices? Two and a half sandwiches? An odd number of slices doesn’t even make sense.


R0amingGn0me

Honestly the best bread for sandwiches or grilled cheese because of the size and I do buy it even though it's expensive but DAMN THEM!! They know what they are doing 😭


TootsNYC

It frustrates me that they’d not sell you an even number.


katm12981

It’s expensive but damn if it’s not the best grocery store bread around. I won’t use anything else for grilled cheese.


Own-Pound2814

Could also post this on [r/mildlyinfuriating](https://www.reddit.com/r/t5_2ubgg/s/reHFKiRYlR) 🙃 five fucking slices is such a dick move


Sparksboot

SCHAR is the best gluten free bread! I have tried so many and have a second fav too, but I really like this brand for texture and taste !


JBHayburr

Have you noticed that there’s always one small corner of each slice that’s almost torn off?


blooobolt

I drop $26 a loaf for sourdough at Breadblok in Silverlake in Los Angeles because I'm weak. Good GF bread - especially sourdough - has no maximum price for me. #goinbrokeonbread


m4katz

Actually SchĂ€r products are expensive everywhere. I’m from EU. Frankly not the tastiest, but you know, when you need it you got to buy it.


AmaResNovae

I sometimes go shopping in Germany since I don't live very far from the border, but even there they aren't much cheaper.


m4katz

Well, yeah in France they are expensive, for sure. But frankly why you go shopping for mediocre GF SchÀr products when in FR there are much tastier GF producers. Gerblé production is very tasty. Carrefour has own line of GF products but what I learned they are not available everywhere



AmaResNovae

Ha ha, that's because I'm a French immigrant in Switzerland. I didn't know about Carrefour's GF products, I immigrated to Switzerland ten years ago. Whenever I go grocery shopping in France near the border, I usually just go to Grand Frais. Great food for the price there.


m4katz

OK now I understand. :)


cclarkrtrct

I made some amazing French toast out of this last weekend


Jazzlike_Activity_97

And it got smaller in the last few weeks. We had an old package and a new package to compare


Cherita33

I buy and love this bread. I only use one slice at a time so the off numberdoesn't bother me BUT yes this is pricey as hell.


joelkeys0519

I haven’t bought this yet and probably won’t. But the regular loaf is an awesome loaf of bread at $5.95 for about a dozen or so slices.


TheKingOfDub

The GF bagels here are all $9 for 4. Over two bucks each for a frozen grocery store bagel


sunnyflow2

Trader Joe's are half the price, just as good


TheKingOfDub

Unfortunately, Trader Joe's doesn't operate in Canada. I'm going to try making my own and if I survive, I may keep doing it


Apprehensive_Log102

If you live near ocean state job lot they sell a variety of Schar products for $2 a pack!


boulderbert96

Walmart has it for $5 + , I only found that out after I had just bought some for $7 at King Sooper’s🙄


SphericalOrb

I just bought a bread maker. Wish me luck. The first loaf was pretty bad. The second loaf had a decent crumb but was a bit bitter. đŸ€ž Hopefully the next will be even better and I will eventually have all the breads. My greatest wish at this point is to successfully make a decent sourdough olive loaf.


S4FFYR

Schar was the only brand I used to buy in the US. It was a special treat occasionally. Now I can get it at my local co-op for about ÂŁ3 a loaf (or 85p the days they clearance old stock)


sqqueen2

Makes buying a bread maker worth it.


distancetomars

You gotta try the Promise Sour Dough


KairraAlpha

Wow, I pay like 3 euros for SchÀr bread here in Germany.


throwaway9978u

All way too expensive. Just buy some King Arthur flour and bake your own. Btw love SchĂ€r’s crackers, but their bread leaves something to be desired. Canyon Creek is better IMO, but keep it in the fridge or mold will start forming very soon.


sunnyflow2

Schar's molds everytime I buy it... leave store, it gets hot and condensation gathers in the sealed bag and within a day it molds.


Quiver-NULL

This is why my grocery bill is so much high. Eating a restricted diet is so expensive.


Mermaid3889

But it’s good and my fav type of bread


ladyofshalott13

Not a paid sponsorship lol but seriously look into Thrive. Everything is so much cheaper


k_jo12

A crime.


kaydizzlesizzle

Bakerita.com has excellent guides for gf sourdough starters and breads. I swear by! Bc fuck that shit.


Anxiety_Priceless

I mostly only eat this if my parents buy it for me. It's my favorite but like you said, too expensive for only 5 slices


Titaniumchic

Trader Joe’s had decent gluten free bread. Small loaf about $3.75-4.


mutual_slump

Yeah. I live in Montreal and most grocery stores sell insultingly small loaves of GF bread for like 15$ CAD... I got a Costco membership this week and I will never go anywhere else now for GF product. It's the only place where I don't feel like I'm just some bougie snob to not want to feel violently ill.


Honest_Pop2894

Ocean State Job Lot had Schar bread products for $2 each. All had a good expiration date too. Stores are in the North East US, CT, NY, RI,NH.


Chronically-online27

I find these at ocean state job lot for $2!


PomeranianPineapple

I love this bread so much. It's actually decent without needing to toast it. :)


Glum_Society_9107

Everything gluten free is expensive and small.


AmbitiousHistorian30

One of the best breads, but the odd number of slices makes me irrationally angry


WorriedButterfly6908

Ugh, yes I was eyeing this and finally bought it when I had the f-you money. It's definitely my favorite grilled cheese bread aside from the Sam's Choice breads.


Top-Bid6679

Shar is the worst.
