Sandwich bread


Finding a pre-packaged sandwich bread with our limitations has proven impossible. Even baking a serviceable sandwich bread is a gigantic obstacle with my limited baking skills. I've been scouring the internet for ideas, but most include yeast. When they don't, they include other ingredients that can't be replaced due to our restrictions. The task is daunting.

Now that we know our daughter has as many food issues as us, really more when you look at her blood panels - yikes! - this has become my number one priority. Despite the fact my son has had food intolerances for years, he is okay with yeast. And he's learned to replace many staples of life with alternative or unconventional food items (dinner for breakfast anyone?)

Our daughter has not. My husband and I moved away from sandwich breads the past year b/c we suspected something was going on with wheat. We usually eat leftovers for lunch, anyway. Easy when you have a microwave near at hand. A senior in high school does not have that luxury. Coupled with the fact she is a PB&J freak and must find not only a safe bread but a sugar-free jam, how does she make the transition to an allergy-free life on a dime? That is the question...

Off I go on my first food adventure . . . .
