Looking for a bread alternative? You CAN have tapioca starch. The only company that I have found to sell breads, bagels, and pizza crust is Against The Grain Gourmet. You can find them in your frozen food section. They are a little pricier than your normal breads, but if you break it down per meal, it's not that bad. They have a store locator on their website to see who carries their products near you.
