Size does matter ... for bread, that is!

Until I can bake my own bread at home, I need to rely on breads that are available in stores.  The first bread I purchased was EnerG bread 16 oz Tapioca Loaf for $5.29.  When it arrived, I was a little disappointed at the size but it's what I had available at the time.  Then I found a loaf of Haley's Corner GF bread while at Kress in downtown Seattle: it was the size of a regular loaf of bread but heavier.  I bought a plain loaf at $7.95 as well as the seeded loaf for $8.95.  


Below are pictures with Haley's Corner GF bread on the left and EnerG on the right and then stacked.  I'm guessing the EnerG bread is lighter as it doesn't contain milk and eggs.


I personally prefer Haley's Corner GF bread as the size, texture and flavor is similar to non-GF bread.  I keep it in the freezer to last longer. I pop two pieces in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time before toasting or making sandwiches. 

I can't purchase Haley's Corner GF bread online and Kress doesn't always have them available when I go shopping so I tend to buy two loaves at a time.  I keep one at the office and one at home.

P.S. Haley's Corner GF bread is great for grilled cheese sandwiches, especially if you use a George Foreman grill.
