I just recently tried her 100% spelt sourdough bread bc I am recently gluten free, and her loaf did not disappoint! It was moist with the perfect amount of crunch and it tasted like I was eating non-gluten free bread! The quality of the ingredients is evident in the taste and the love that she pours into her baking shows when you interact with her.
You MUST try her bread! Once you have your first bite, you’ll never want to order bread from...
