Nearly Rye
Gluten Free Sourdough Loaf
Our gluten free version of a rye bread, flavoured with caraway and fennel seeds. Available in Autumn.
100% gluten-free. Baked fresh, without compromise.
Deeply flavoured and aromatic, our Nearly Rye gluten-free sourdough loaf combines a soft crumb with a subtly spiced finish.
Available exclusively in the autumn months, this loaf is inspired by traditional rye bread and crafted with a gluten-free sourdough starter for a rich, wholesome texture. Caraway and fennel seeds add a distinctive depth of flavour, creating a savoury loaf with gentle warmth. Handmade to order and baked fresh, it’s a comforting seasonal favourite without the gluten.
Best served warm with butter, or paired with savoury toppings like cheese, smoked fish, or deli-style fillings.
Suitable for freezing for up to 3 months; defrost at room temperature and refresh in the oven before serving, or pre-slice and toast straight from frozen.
We bake every order fresh to order rather than keeping bread sitting in a warehouse, so it arrives at its best. Packed straight after baking and sent on a next-day delivery service with DPD, so we aim to have it with you within 5 working days of placing your order.
Mainland UK delivery starts from £4.50 and is free on orders over £35. Store collection is also available from our South London bakery.

Why we bake
After my coeliac diagnosis, the thing I missed most was bread. Real, crusty, tear-into-it bread. So Alexander and I set out to bake the gluten-free loaf I actually wanted to eat, the slow way, by hand.

How we bake your bread
Real sourdough, the slow way, made by hand in our South London bakery. 100% gluten free, free from the 14 major allergens and plant-based. No ultra-processed shortcuts.
-
Our starter
Every bake begins with our own gluten-free sourdough starter, looked after in the bakery.
-
Mixed by hand
Naturally gluten-free flours like brown rice, sorghum and millet, with water, salt and our starter. No gluten, no shortcuts.
-
Slow-fermented
The dough is left to ferment for hours. That's where the tang, the depth and the open crumb come from.
-
Baked to order
We only bake what's been ordered, so your bread comes out of the oven for you, not off a warehouse shelf.
-
To your door
Packed straight after baking and sent on a next-day delivery service. We aim to have it with you within 5 working days of placing your order. Anything left over becomes breadcrumbs or goes to our local food bank.
