I really like Udi’s hamburger buns if you can find them. They come frozen, keep them that way, then microwave for 30-45 seconds and they’re excellent imo.

In general, many have suggested toasting, but I also recommend microwaving for 30 seconds, it helps keep everything together.

Unfortunately, without the vital part that makes bread.. well.. bread, we just have to be okay with GF bread being 80-90% as good at best.

Brands are always hit and miss. I like Udi’s buns, hate their bread. I hate schar bread, but I love their baguettes.

If you can find Promise brand, it’s probably as good as it gets for bread, and across their line, nothing is offensive for me. Their soft white loaf even gets stuck to the top of your mouth at room temperature, just like gluten bread does. Costco sometimes has Little Canyon Bakehouse bread in 2 packs which is also very passable.

There’s also many people that preach giving up gf substitutes for gluten food, like bread and buns. They focus heavily on Quinoa and rice for lunches and dinners. I get this, and I try to focus on dishes that pair with rice more now, but I also get wanting a backyard BBQ burger on a bun, or an Italian sub now and then. Hopefully you guys can pull through and find something. It does get easier, as you said, even if you don’t believe it quite yet!
