Gluten Free Taster Pack

Have you just been diagnosed as coeliac or advised to follow a gluten free diet? We understand how overwhelming it can be. We have put together a starter pack with a variety of our breads so that you can try each one of them and decide which one you like the best. As coeliacs we really missed bread and for many years we went without, as the bread on offer was highly processed, full of chemicals and preservatives and didn't do the job for us at all. That's how The Bakery started! We are a 100% gluten free bakery & a family business too - three coeliacs! We specialise in real gluten free bread using only naturally gluten free ingredients. We do not not use any chemicals, preservatives or processed gums. We are proud to be members of the Real Bread Campaign We make bread in the traditional way but adapted for the lack of gluten! Even so, it does all come down to personal taste so we have our starter pack so you can taste each variety of bread. Which one will be your favourite? Our starter pack is discounted by 20% and includes six loaves. We bake & dispatch fresh so you can freeze fresh. Instructions and handy tips on storing & freezing your bread is included in your starter kit.

Plain sourdough

Our sourdough is made from just flour, salt, water and seeds. Wild yeasts and a long fermentation does the hard work instead of bakers yeast and it's this long ferment that also gives the bread is unique texture & incredible taste. We have our very own unique gluten free sourdough starter and flour blend that creates our Knife & Fork gluten free sourdough loaves. This loaf has a tangy sour taste and a nice open texture. You may find sourdough mildly addictive and then just like me - one piece of this toast is never enough! This is our original sourdough loaf in it's traditional free form shape. Each loaf is the same size but there are never two the same.

Rosemary Focaccia

Our focaccia has a light texture and is perfect to enjoy as part of a meal, to dip in olive oil & balsamic vinegar or even split a square of it and toast it like a panini! It's made from our very own focaccia flour mix, fresh rosemary, lots of olive oil & Maldon sea salt. We bake it in its own little wooden tray, which makes it really easy to refresh. Place it on an oven tray & give it a good splash of water & then pop it into a hot oven ( 180-200c) for 10 to 15 minutes. Do keep an eye on it though as all ovens vary. It should be moist and soft inside with a crusty exterior. (Instructions on the packaging). There's no need to re-heat all of it at once though - you can portion it & freeze it too.

Farmhouse sandwich loaf

Lighter in colour and flavour this is like a farmhouse ‘white’ loaf. We still use wholegrain flours to make our own flour blend for this loaf so it’s not white but it’s most probably the nearest we will make - it is delicious and nutritious! This one reminds me of the old fashioned ‘white’ loaves my mum would buy from the village bakery. Delicious lightly toasted, slathered with butter or in sandwiches too – a great all - rounder.

Seedy Quinoa sandwich loaf

A seedy tasty sandwich loaf; our award winning quinoa millet loaf with added flavour from our multi seed mix. This is made with our own quinoa and millet flour blend and fresh bakers yeast. It's incredibly popular with all the family - a great all rounder.

Cinnamon & Date Loaf

A delicious cinnamon and date loaf to be enjoyed as a tea bread or toasted. Naturally sweet from the dates and cinnamon, it has no added sugar so a real treat. Enjoy for breakfast, tea time or any time!

Buckwheat & poppyseed sandwich loaf

Made from our own buckwheat & teff flour blend & fresh bakers yeast, this loaf is incredibly tasty with almost a nutty flavour and a very attractive malty colour. This bread definitely stands up on it's own when it comes to flavour - fabulous for open sandwiches, great for toast or just a plain ol' sandwich. Fabulous finely sliced for smoked salmon sandwiches or thickly cut cheddar & chutney doorstoppers - whatever suits your mood. Toasted & slathered with far too much butter is always a winner too. Sometimes the simplest things are the best...
