A simple, cheesy appetizer from Little Northern Bakehouse
I used to loathe GF loaves … but that was 20 years ago. Back then, gluten-free store-bought bread was awful. It was crumbly, dry, and sometimes solid as a rock. It barely resembled something you’d want to eat and the only use I found for it was making croutons. Nowadays, GF bread has truly turned itself around and is available in a wide variety of flavors, sizes, and is made with all sorts of ingredients. From buns to bagels to sliced bread and more, gluten-free bread is no longer a disappointment.
One of my favorite things about gluten-free bread in today’s world, versus that of 20 years ago, is that companies have discovered ways to incorporate healthy ingredients to make their loaves wholesome and nutritious. Case in point: Little Northern Bakehouse Millet & Chia Loaf. This company makes loaves that are filled with millet – an ancient grain, and chia seeds – a powerful source of omega-3, fiber, antioxidants, calcium, and more. This combo creates a light, smooth texture with a little extra crunch that creates a unique and delicious experience.
All Little Northern Bakehouse breads are not only gluten-free, but egg free, non-GMO, and vegan.
To showcase this loaf in all its glory, give this recipe a try for a simple and crave-worthy appetizer.
