Udi’s Gluten Free Savory Bread Pudding
Today we are talking about Udi’s Gluten-Free Products. I was sent a huge variety of their wonderful products to try and to cook with. I wanted to make for you this Udi’s Gluten Free Savory Bread Pudding too! You can also be as lucky as me, as I have a giveaway for you too!!
It used to be so difficult to be completely gluten-free, it meant making all of your bread products and so many of them don’t turn out, they are too dry or tasteless.
Udi’s is changing that for so many that are Celiac or gluten intolerant or just want to reduce the amount of gluten they are consuming. 8 in 10 Canadians who reduce or cut gluten claim they feel healthier, happier, and more energetic.
About Udi’s
Udi’s Healthy Foods LLC (Udi’s) is a leader in the fast-growing market for gluten-free foods in North America. They market a diversified and growing range of gluten-free products under the well-recognized Udi’s Gluten-Free Foods brand in the retail market, and since mid-2011, foodservice channels. Udi’s Gluten-Free Foods is a leading brand in gluten-free bread and bakery products. In addition, Udi’s markets other gluten-free products in the frozen pizza and granola categories.
They have a wide range of products from muffins (my fav) to cinnamon buns, bread, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, tortillas, and more. I had to try to think up a recipe.
Right away my brain went to a savory bread pudding. Something you could serve at Thanksgiving with the traditional trimmings or with roast beef and all the fixings. I was concerned that the bread would turn out mushy without the gluten but it was absolutely fabulous.
I used Udi’s hamburger buns for this recipe and they were perfect. The pudding was crunchy, crispy, and delicious on the top with a smoother, savory under the crust. The mix of veggies and cheese grouped so lovely together enhancing the entire dish.
The dish is cheerful-looking on any Thanksgiving, Christmas, or holiday table
I love placing fresh tomatoes on top of a casserole, not only is it delicious but also so pretty.
As you can see this bread pudding was devoured!!! You would never even know this dish is gluten-free!!

I haven’t tried these products but have heard from friends that they are delicious and do not lack any flavour.

I would like to reduce the gluten just to see if I feel any different or it helps me feel less run-down. thanks!
Cheryl Voelk says
I think a gluten free diet is a healthy choice! There are so many people today having stomach issues. I don’t have these problems, but eliminating gluten would sure help with weight issues.
Jen says
I see Udi’s products at the store and keep thinking maybe eliminating gluten will give me more energy. I try to avoid eating too much wheat so maybe when I do eat it I could try Udi’s instead of regular bread.
Karie Schneck says
I understand people do have an actual gluten allergy. How does it benefit those that don’t? Just curious.
Noshing with the Nolands says
If you have bloating or other issues from too much gluten it could also help. Many people are trying it to see if they feel healthier. For me this is not an issue but their products are sure great!!!
Tiffany says
I went gluten free on the advice of one if my specialists – even though the academic research is spotty, in his practice he noticed a significant improvement in patients with my autoimmune disease and other conditions. I have to agree with him after doing the initial trial a few years ago, i have made major strides in my overall health and well being. Physicians need to advocate using food first for prescriptions and then pharmaceuticals!
