PRODUCT REVIEW - Canyon Bakehouse GF Focaccia

Recently I raved over this brand's hamburger buns, and I'm back to tell you about their focaccia!

This loaf of Canyon Bakehouse Rosemary and Thyme Focaccia cost me $5.49 and serves 8. I had really high expectations because of their awesome hamburger buns, and I hate to say it, but I was slightly disappointed. We sliced it in half "bagel-style" and toasted it for a few minutes, but it was still too chewy. Normally in a focaccia you'd expect something soft in the middle and crunchy around the edges, but this was more chewy all over. Next time I'm going to try toasting it a bit more to crunch it up.

That being said, the flavor of the bread was great! I could easily see this working as croutons if you cube it up and bake at a low temperature for a while. Not going to be a regular purchase, though.

PRODUCT REVIEW - Canyon Bakehouse GF Hamburger Buns

Buy these buns!

First tried these hamburger buns at Friedmans Lunch in Chelsea Market (http://www.friedmanslunch.com/). Along with a decent variety of GF foods, they make a ridiculously awesome GF cheeseburger that's worth the $14+ price tag.

Then, about a week ago, we found the buns at Wholefoods. They are definitely pricey, $6 for 4 buns, but they are more than worth it for a burger-y treat. They freeze well also, so you can stock up and defrost as needed.

I would describe these buns as soft, chewy, hearty, and able to hold up to a big burger. They're not as soft as typical hamburger buns, more like a whole grain version (they are whole grain, so that makes sense). And, to top it off, they have sesame seeds on top, so you can pretend that you got your GF burger from BK.

Canyon Bakehouse (http://canyonbakehouse.com/) also makes a variety of gluten free breads, muffins, and focaccia. You can buy the buns online directly from their website ($5 for 4 buns, so you save $1 from Whole Foods).
