New yummy's and garlic cheese bread

Tried a few new products this past week. Schar is a European brand that I recently discovered. Tried the breadsticks this week as a snack with some cream cheese...way YUMMMO! Then tonight I made mostaciolli with the penne pasta and garlic cheese bread out of the pizza crusts. The kids even told me it was really good....and they are WAY picky about gluten free stuff.

Anyone else ever had their stuff??? Anything in particular you liked???

BTW....for the cheese bread I used a cup or so of cottage cheese that I ran through the food processor with half stick butter, a tsp or 2 of garlic powder, 1/2 cup or so of grated parmesan, and a cup or so of Italian blend cheese. I smeared that on the pizza crust, sprinkled some chives on it, a little more mozzerella cheese and popped it in the oven at 425 for 10-15 minutes. I put it on a pizza pan with holes which I think is essential when using prepared GF crusts....makes them crispy instead of soggy.

Bread!

SO, I've been on a baking kick lately. I bought several different bread mixes and finally tried the last one last night. It was one of my favorites.

Bob's Red Mill is a brown bread, sort of pumpernickle, rye bread flavor. It was ok, not one of my favorites. Very seedy, grainy, which I usually like, and it's not that I didn't like this, it was just different.

All of the Gluten Free Pantry breads were awesome. Light, airy, like real white bread! Made Italian breads and sandwich bread and all sorts of yummy's. Kids gobbled them up. Made bread sticks out of some by taking sheets of aluminum foil and making it into a long wadded up sausage looking thing. Laid several of those across a cookie sheet, then laid another long strip of foil over those, making sure to form it to the shape of the foil sausages! So I was able to make several long breadstick by placing small amounts of dough between the sausage strips.

Anna's breads was the one I made last night. It was awesome! I prefered wheat bread 'before' and this was as close as any I've tasted. It smelled a little weird in it's dough form, but after baking it really was fabulous! Had to hide several pcs for Sean to eat with his dinner or the kids would have eaten it all.
