About gluten-free bakeries
For anyone with coeliac disease, a gluten-free bakery is not a lifestyle choice but the difference between enjoying a croissant and spending days unwell. The good news is that gluten-free baking in the UK has moved on hugely from crumbly, cardboard-like loaves. Dedicated bakeries now turn out laminated pastries, proper sourdough made with rice and buckwheat, brownies, celebration cakes and even doughnuts that you would happily eat whether or not you need to avoid gluten.
What to order
- Gluten-free sourdough – Made with a rice, buckwheat or sorghum starter, it has real chew and toasts well.
- Brownies – Fudgy brownies barely need flour, so a gluten-free version is often indistinguishable from the original.
- Gluten-free croissant – Difficult to make well, so a flaky one is a sign of a seriously skilled baker.
- Lemon or orange polenta cake – Naturally gluten-free and wonderfully moist.
- Scones – A good test of texture – they should be light and crumbly, not gritty.
