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.

From our starter to your door

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.

  1. Our starter

    Every bake begins with our own gluten-free sourdough starter, looked after in the bakery.

  2. Mixed by hand

    Naturally gluten-free flours like brown rice, sorghum and millet, with water, salt and our starter. No gluten, no shortcuts.

  3. Slow-fermented

    The dough is left to ferment for hours. That's where the tang, the depth and the open crumb come from.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Delicious

Great to have such a delicious gluten free version of a classic treat. I have some in the freezer for non-Easter delights!

Thanks for the feedback Vivienne - hope you stocked up enough in the freezer to last till next year!

Found the hot cross buns rather disappointing

Found the hot cross buns rather disappointing. Very doughy with little spice taste ie did not taste like how I would expect one to taste. Unfortunately I preferred the supermarket ones to these which is a real shame as I thought they woudl be like the bread and the bagels - excellent.

Hi Lindsay,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback - we’re really sorry to hear the hot cross buns didn’t meet your expectations. That’s especially disappointing to hear given your positive experience with our bread and bagels.

We completely understand your comments around texture and spice, and we’re taking this on board as we review the recipe for next year's batch. Our goal is always to deliver something that feels like a proper treat, so it’s clear we didn’t quite hit the mark here.

We’ve reached out to you directly as well, as we’d love the chance to make this right. In the meantime, thank you again for your honest feedback - it genuinely helps us improve.

Best wishes,
My GFB

Nice but not sweet enough

Nice but not sweet enough for me - had to add honey. It was more like a slightly spicy bread than a sweet bun.

Hi Mariam,

Thank you for your feedback - we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the buns weren’t quite sweet enough for your taste and didn’t deliver that classic hot cross bun experience.

Your comment about needing to add honey is particularly helpful, and it’s something we’re already taking into consideration as we look at refining the recipe for future batches - hopefully it hits that sweet spot next year!

We’ve also reached out to you directly, as we’d love the opportunity to put things right. Thank you again for helping us improve - it means a lot.

Best wishes,
My GFB

I loved the taste

I loved the taste, but thought they were far to big & could only manage 1/2. Perhaps smaller at a reduced cost would be the way forward

Hi Denise - thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad you liked the taste of our Hot Cross Buns, and we'll take your feedback on board regarding size when we consider the recipe for next year's batch.

Best wishes,
My GFB
