Yes. I have been baking exclusively gluten free for a decade. I maintain a 100% gluten-free kitchen and carefully research my ingredients to ensure they are either certified gluten free, or not processed in facilities with gluten.
-
My kitchen is 100% gluten-free and peanut-free, though I cannot guarantee against cross-contact with other allergens.
If you have a specific allergy, I can often omit certain ingredients upon request—please feel free to reach out via our Contact page with any questions before ordering.
I occasionally use Caputo Fioreglut Gluten-Free Flour at home for pizza. It contains gluten-free wheat starch, safe for those with celiac disease, but not for wheat allergies.
-
I currently offer a small, curated menu. If you have something in mind, please reach out via our Contact page. I would be happy to let you know if it’s something I can accommodate.
-
Your bread is best enjoyed fresh within the first day or two, but keeps well for 3-4 days in a bread box, paper bag or wrapped in a clean dish towel in a cool, dry place. I recommend toasting it on days 3 and 4.
About Me
Hi, I’m Sara. In 2016, my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at two years old. What followed were years of learning to bake what I couldn’t find elsewhere, especially bread. Something so simple and essential shouldn’t mean missing out.
Good bread belongs at every table. I want to offer loaves worth passing around, bread you enjoy eating and feel proud serving to everyone at the table.
I’m a mother and an artist — working with my hands through drawing, sewing, photography and baking. Creating is how I care for the people around me.
My daughter’s name means poet. I am her baker, and I would be honored to be yours, too.
