    We love using Canyon Bakehouse bread because it is so tasty. Truly with this bread, nobody would ever know it is gluten-free. It is my absolute favorite gluten-free bread! It is just as delicious right off the counter as it is toasted and lathered in butter.

    There aren’t too many GF breads out there that you can enjoy right out of the bag. Canyon Bakehouse breads are soft, fluffy and full of flavor that everyone will love.

    I love how versatile their breads are too. They can be used for savory sandwiches or for making sweet french toast.
