 Bread is great; however, problem with shipping of item June 5, 2010

Bob's Red Mill Wonderful Bread Mix:
Bread is great; especially when using a breadmaker with the gluten free setting. The only problem is that it uses 6 eggs (1 whole egg and whites of 5 additional eggs) in additional to the oil, milk and vinegar. All in all, the texture is great. The price of the mix is exceptional compared to the store prices.
I have had problems at least 3 times with the shipment. Each of those 3 times, there was bread mix all over the box in which the manufacturer box was shipped and the bags that contained the mix were cut toward the top of the package. It appears that there is a problem with the sealing process. The last time, the box from the manufacturer was slit as well. Each time, Amazon has replaced my item very promptly. I was told they would investigate the problem. Each time, I was told to toss the items as they do not accept returned food items.
I would like to know if anyone has had any similar problems with the shipping. At one time, I was told they had had similar complaints but another time I was told I was the only one and it made me feel that they did not believe me. Hopefully, they are able to find the cause of the problem.
 A lot to be desired May 31, 2010

Three major issues with this bread:
1. This bread had an off taste - not quite "beany" as another reviewer noted, but more like eggs or egg whites. Almost a French toast aftertaste.
2. Although it rose, the top sunk when cooling. The loaf looked like a volcanic crater and made for misshapen slices.
3. It was not as hard as the frozen gluten free breads found in the store, but it certainly crumbled as badly making it useless as a sandwich bread - maybe good for croutons (except for the taste).
I found that the The Gluten-Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix, 22-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) bread mix to be a lot better. It was moist, did not crumble, had a great taste, and made a normal looking loaf. I'm new on the celiac diet and will try Pamela's next, but Bob's was put out for the birds to eat.
GREAT texture - weird taste. May 3, 2010

We've tried a few gluten free bread mixes and so far Pamela's Products is in the clear lead. This bread has a great texture, it slices nice and thin and holds up. It has a nice "chew" to it and it is moist with a great crust. It came with its own yeast and if you use a bread mixer - it bakes up in a breeze. Its just to bad the taste is "off" kind of "beany" maybe? My daughter, who we make the bread for, has this to say about it: "It tastes just blaaaah. Its tasteless and it has a rubber after taste." We wont buy this again.
Great texture, bad taste. April 30, 2010

It is interesting to me how many great reviews this product got, as I was not satisfied much. Granted, this is the first gluten-free bread I have made, so I do not have any gluten-free breads to compare it to, but compared to regular wheat bread it is bizarre, and it taste nothing like the homemade bread I am used to. I will say the texture is great for being gluten-free - it really holds up well compared to the store bough white bread made from rice flour (which is crumbly and tasteless). In fact, it its texture is comparable to wheat bread, and the bread is certainly not tasteless. That being said, the taste, imo, is pretty bad. It is extraordinarily beany tasting that totally overpowers anything else. It really tastes like eating a spoonful of garbanzo beans, which is fine, but not for bread! When I want bread, I want it taste like bread, esp when making a sandwich. This is terrible sandwich bread, as you will not be able to taste the ingredients adequately. You'll just taste the bean flour.
 Great, with modifications April 7, 2010

This bread mix is the best GF bread I've had, and certainly the best mix I've worked with. It has a lovely light flavor, results in a tender, soft texture, and is for the most part, mix and go. From the start I found it needed salt, and the addition of 1 teaspoon brings it well into balance. It is, however, not too sweet. It's a good savory bread, that would be tasty with sweet uses. Another thing I found is that when I made it exactly as the directions stated, the bread sank in the middle, everytime, resulting in a depressed Mickey Mouse shaped loaf. I do mix by stand mixer and bake in the oven, so perhaps if made in a bread machine the instructions are more spot-on. I found that to achieve a good rise and to maintain it, the liquid ingredients must be room temperature. No short cuts. I use very soft butter (not melted) instead of oil. I also back off the recommended baking temperature of 375, and bake it at 365, and instead of baking it for 60-65 minutes, let it go for 70-75 minutes. Comes out perfect. The dough, itself, tastes a bit beany, but the final product doesn't.
I would certainly try other mixes, but after years of suffering through crumbly bread and weedy-flavored pastries, I'm in no rush to. I will keep this mix as a go-to option, indefinitely.
