SIMPLE KNEADS Organic Pumpkinickel Bread, 21 OZ

Definitely toast it first. It won't become crispy but otherwise it's not very enjoyable.

I am a former professional baker and when I discovered my stomach issues were due to wheat, I was devastated. Needless to say, I've taken my search for a tasty gluten free bread very seriously over the past two years and, thus far, Simple Kneads is by far the best.NOTE: This bread is best when warmed up or toasted. If it is cold and made into a sandwich for eating at work for lunch, it gets kind of crumbly. That is the only downside in my opinion, but I would much rather have that be the issue than eat a bread filled with weirds gums that leave a strange aftertaste and texture in my mouth.This bread actually tastes like a fermented sourdough (because it is) which is a far superior flavor in my opinion than the bland gf breads on the shelves. If you are able to find this brand in your area, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I was very excited about this purchase but was greatly disappointed in end. First off the bread is the size of a softball with very thin slices. It is extremely dence and dry. The taste is a whole other issue. The flavor is absurd, its sour like sourdough but has peanut maple syrup rasin flavor concoction. The flavor is awful but the after taste is even worse. After drinking a gallon of water I still couldn't get the sour artifical after taste out of my mouth. I won't recommend this bread to my friends, family or even my worst enemy. Don't waste your money!!! This bread is the WORST.

This is the second best gluten free vegan bread I’ve had. That’s actually saying a lot as a baker I have very high standards. No, it’s not sourdough, but IT IS a very good replacement for a dark German rye bread. It’s thin, hearty, and nutty like the German bread is. Excellent as toast and especially nice moving into Fall when soups will start to be featured again, this is a great accompaniment for a hearty soup. All around a fantastic bread. The only reason it didn’t earn five stars is because of my local bakery’s vegan local bread. But theirs is a different type of bread, more like a whole wheat so I’m super happy to have discovered this bread. Now I have a variety :) !

Flavor was not good unfortunately, I had high hopes for it.

It’s hard to find good GF bread! This is dense and you have to toast jt several times but the taste is great! And yeast free!

I was looking very forward to trying this bread. Now I don’t know what to do with it. The taste is so bad that I definitely won’t be eating it.

It’s so freaking hard to find gluten free vegan bread, let alone one with clean ingredients. It always has corn or an egg, which is a deal breaker for me. I was so excited to find this one! But the taste is fantastic!! As another reviewer wrote, you must toast it. It’s absolutely everything I loved about pumpernickel bread, which I haven’t tasted literally for years! It’s so good, like a true sourdough pumpernickel, I almost cried. It’s expensive, but worth it to me.
