A few weeks ago, while on one of my rare grocery adventures (I kid you not, I get lost in label land)! Anyhoo, after a few hours of doing the “Gluten-Free Nancy Drew” thing, I remembered that I needed to pick up some more bread. When I approached the freezer case to get my beloved Udi’s GF Bread, I just about fainted. There they were. The ever elusive, softly whispered, government conspiracy cover-up… UDI’S BAGELS!!
I was so excited, I bought 5 packages!
As soon as I got home, I had to have one, with cream cheese!
The first thing I noticed as I pulled a bagel out of the bag… these are REALLY BIG bagels! They are so big, that I could only eat 1/4 of it! The other thing I noticed is that they do not really taste like the gluten bagels I remember. They are good mind you, but they are not the boiled bagels that I think of; with the crunchy crust and chewy inside. To me, they are the same as Udi’s great gluten-free bread, only in the shape of a bagel (which is a big plus, especially for a 6 year old)! Sam loves the bagels, because they make him feel “normal.” Know what I think these are? A GREAT gluten-free hamburger bun, only with a hole in the middle! Just place a piece of lettuce at the top to keep the condiments contained and wa-la!
I got this idea from Disney’s Family Fun Magazine, UFO Breakfast Treats!
Neither one of my boy’s will eat a hard boiled egg (yet they love egg salad??).
I hope you have a happy Easter or I hope you’ve had a good Passover!
((Hugs)),
Heidi

Love that pic of your son eating that worlds biggest bagel ~ lol. That is a very large bagel indeed. Is Udi’s bagels a whole foods store product?
Lisa,
The bagels are HUGE! You definitely get your money’s worth, LOL! A 4-pack of Udi’s bagels cost about $5.00.
Udi’s is not a Whole Foods store product, they are a bakery out of Denver. My local Whole Foods carries it, as well as a few other stores in the Albuquerque area, like Vitamin Cottage and R. Downs.
There is not a better GF bread out there, and I have not been able to make any that comes even close to the moist, fluffy, bendable, shelf stable, “real” bread, that Udi’s has mastered. I cried, laughed and danced a jig the first time I had it. Ahhh yes, Udi’s GF bread “had me at hello!”

My Whole Foods will occasionally put the bread on sale for about $3.00/loaf so I stock up! Like 30 loaves at a time. 😀 This is when I am thankful for my Deep Freezers!!
OMG – I can’t wait to try these GF bagels! And I really like your hamburger bun idea. They actually look better than most prepared GF hamburger buns I have seen on thew market. Thanks as always for the info and ideas!
You do such a nice job Heidi! Thanks for being you and sharing your life with us!
Dee,
You just make me smile, each and every day.
[…] for purchase online! I have not had the pleasure of trying them yet, but you can read a review here. Heidi lives close to a store that carries them! Lucky girl! The bagels are $6 for a 4 pack or […]
