For practitioners: what's in our bread
The Bakery by Knife & Fork is a dedicated gluten free bakery in Deddington, Oxfordshire, baking to order and shipping UK-wide. This page is for practitioners recommending us.
Coeliac safe
100% dedicated gluten free bakery; no wheat flour has ever entered the building; our flours and oats are gluten-free labelled; and Tanya's own family, who are coeliac, eat it daily.
"Tanya started this bakery for us, her own coeliac family. She wanted a better bread for us that just wasn't available."

We haven't measured glycaemic index; if you'd like samples for testing, ask.
Straight answers
- What's in it?
- Full ingredients on every product page; bound with psyllium and flaxseed, not gums. Exceptions: sulphites (Apricot), soya lecithin (Chocolate).
- Why sourdough?
- Sourdough, Seedy Sourdough and Large Sourdough use our own starter, long-fermented; the rest use fresh yeast. Ferment time is not published; ask and we'll tell you.
- Delivery and practicalities
- UK next-day after baking; not NI, the Highlands and Islands, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Scilly. From £6.45, freezes well, subscriptions skip, pause or swap any time.
Testing and certification: what we can show today
- Allergens and cross-contact
- We have: a facility statement (nuts, milk, egg, sulphites, soya) and the Chocolate loaf baked last, separately. Next: a written allergen matrix and third-party audit.
- Organic and glyphosate
- We have: our flour supplier's assurance the GF grains aren't treated with glyphosate.
- FODMAP
- Not tested. The only dried fruits in the range are dates (Cinnamon & Date) and apricots (Apricot & Pumpkin Seed). If lab testing would help your practice, tell us.
