I went gluten-free and couldn't find a single loaf worth eating.

So I made one.

I couldn't find a gluten-free bread I actually wanted to eat. After going gluten-free, I was disappointed by how many options felt like a compromise- overly processed, not real sourdough, or just not good. So I started making my own. What began as a personal solution turned into Bella Bread: slow-fermented, gluten-free sourdough made to my exact standards, with simple ingredients and nothing I wouldn't eat myself. This is bread I eat every single day and truly love- because the flavor and texture are exactly what I was missing.

I hope you love it just as much!

INTENTIONAL INGREDIENTS

At Bella Bread, every ingredient is multi-purpose. Each component of our gluten-free sourdough has a part to play in both the eating experience and the nutritional value of the bread.

    • At Bella Bread, we use a gluten-free starter. Wheat/ gluten has never been involved in the growth of our mother. It is truly a gluten-free sourdough (because no, not all sourdough is gluten-free).

    • Sourdough is a naturally fermented bread, meaning that no artificial yeast is used. It is fermented using a combination of flour and water that grows a starter, AKA naturally occurring yeast and lactobacillus bacteria, to raise/bubble up the dough.

    • In addition to leavening the bread, the fermentation process produces lactic acid, which gives the bread its distinct sour flavor!

    • Easier on digestion than baker’s yeast: the fermentation process breaks down the starches and proteins that could otherwise cause digestive discomfort.

    • FIBER

    • slightly nutty flavor

    • a more nutritionally dense flour: contains B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and other minerals

    • bold flavor- bittersweet, earthy, slightly burnt notes
