Taste test notes
u0026#149; Obvious gluten free shape unlike traditional bun as it's wider, flater with cracked surface and unfinished cross. Toasted is better than untoasted.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Looks like a hockey puck with thin wonky cross.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Minimal fruit in untoasted bun but lots of fruit in toasted bun, so uneven among buns in pack.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Aroma is slightly yeasty with not much spice. Texture is spongy, dry and gritty. Flavour is bland.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Sandy, strong texture, fruits very clumpy. Cross not great visually. Good for a gluten free alternative. Toasted flavour would be great with butter.u003cbru003e
