Gluten-free eaters know that finding good dupes for classic baked goods can be a challenge—especially the basics like sandwich bread. You may not have the time (or patience!) to find the best gluten-free bread on your own, so our Test Kitchen is here to help.
Our team sought to find reliably good options to pop in your toaster, pack in your lunch box or toss on the griddle.

If building the perfect sandwich is a part of your lunchtime routine, try Sam’s Choice Gluten-Free Multigrain Bread, a Walmart-exclusive brand.
This soft, GF loaf is exactly what you’d expect to find in the bread aisle. It’s akin to many go-to brands for gluten-filled bagged bread brands like Brownberry or Pepperidge Farm.
This bread is light with just the right amount of chew. Thanks to the gluten-free multigrain flour (including sorghum flour and millet flour) and seeds, this bread is a great foundation for any lunch. “I’d use this for a nice, sturdy sandwich,” says Taste of Home Content Director (and gluten-free eater) Ellie Martin Cliffe.
Toast this bread and pile it high with cold cuts, crunchy veggies and satisfying spreads like a flavored aioli.

It’s especially hard to approximate white bread when going gluten-free. Since white bread uses all-purpose flour exclusively, finding the right swap for a GF diet can be a challenge. But you’ll find a great almost white bread with Canyon Bakehouse 7-Grain Gluten-Free Bread.
Despite the seven grains inside (those grains are rice, sorghum, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat), this bread has a white bread-like flavor. “It’s the whitest of the loaves we tried,” explains our Test Kitchen’s Mark Neufang. “It has a nice golden exterior with a spongy, white interior crumb.”
“If you eat gluten-free and want a nice white bread for a sandwich, this one will do nicely,” he says.
And if you prefer your slices served up alongside eggs in the morning, this is also a great loaf to try. “My mind immediately goes to buttered toast with this one,” says Ellie.
