What is the best way to store your bread?
Our bread is best stored in the fridge if you plan on eating it in a few days. Any longer than that and it will become stale as we do not use any preservatives. If you plan on keeping it longer it is best kept in the freezer and defrosted when needed.
To defrost, simply let it sit at room temperature or microwave in short bursts (20 seconds at a time) and then if you prefer more of a crust pop it into the oven (or even better an air fryer) for a minute or two.
Why is GF bread so expensive?
One of the main reasons is that GF flour is so expensive! As a comparison, a bag of normal wheat flour is normally $12-$14 for a 12.5kg, whereas GF flour is around $60-$65 per 10kg. So way more for less!
The other main reason is that GF dough is extremely sticky and not many traditional bakery machines can handle the dough. So that means more baking done by hand, which is slower and more time consuming, which translates to higher wages.
Why is your bread so fluffy compared to other GF bread?
Our bread is made to imitate regular gluten based bread. The original owners of the business spend many years perfecting the recipe that accomplishes this.
With our new ovens, equipment and purpose-built bakery we have added to the processes to ensure the bread is prepared and baked efficiently with a great crumb and crust and without drying out.
Why can’t I pick up my order earlier in the day?
We begin baking each day between 5 – 6am, depending on order volume.
Our bread needs to be in a sealed bag to leave our premises, so we can prevent contamination, so it needs to be cold to be packed.
By the time we make, bake, cool and pack our bread, it is the afternoon.
A lot of our bread is also delivered to cafes, restaurants and customers the next day so this means the bread is the freshest it can be with all the logistics involved.
You get the freshest bread, completely sealed and safe, so that is why we don’t open earlier.
Is your bread vegan?
Yes, our bread is vegan. We don’t have any dairy, egg, nuts or sugar in our products.
Is your premises 100% Gluten Free?
Yes, we bake in a dedicated 100% gluten free bakery.
Do you have any allergens in your bakery?
It is important to know that we have 3 allergens in our bakery that may affect our customers:
– Soy – in our flour mix
– Yeast – in all of our products
– Sesame seeds – the vast majority of our products don’t have sesame seeds. However, they are present in our bakery, so if you have an allergy to sesame, then we cannot guarantee a sesame free product.
