Or how the ends of the loaf are often too thin to do much with?

That depends on your specific allergies. You can use a store-bought brand like Schar, Canyon Bakehouse, or B Free.

Or you can bake your own gluten free bread, and use that. This recipe looks really delicious.

If you have a fresh loaf of bread, you will need to let some slices dry out before making bread crumbs. You can let it dry uncovered for a day or so, or speed the process by drying it in the oven.

Ingredients

• 6 slices gluten free bread dry or toasted*
• 1/3 cup vegan buttery spread
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

1. Break the dried pieces of gluten free bread into pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. 

2. Put the vegan buttery spread in a skillet and heat over medium heat. Once it is melted and sizzling, add the bread crumbs and garlic salt. 

3. Cook, stirring often, until the bread crumbs turn golden brown. Don't walk away from the skillet, they can go from golden to burnt very quickly. 

4. Remove the bread crumbs from the skillet and let cool. Serve on salad, casseroles, or pasta. Store in an airtight container if you aren't going to use them right away.

Recipe Notes

If you need to toast several slices at once, you can place them on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven at 300 degrees until they are lightly golden and dry.
